[NLRS] Contest results

[Joe Belany]

N0EDV and I hammered the bands all weekend.  By far we had the best production ever.  Typically we operate from EN67 so gathering attention is usually an issue.  Due to gas prices and family events we chose to stay home this weekend and run from his home in Bloomer, WI.  We ran right over the top of any expectations which we may have had.  We would typically be giving each other high fives if we broke 15,000 points from Michigan.  Tonight we totaled at 83,721 points at the contest end.  Our results are as follows:

50 MHZ:  408 QSO's and 161 grids
144 MHZ: 29 QSO's and 9 grids
222 MHZ: 10 QSO's and 5 grids
432 MHZ: 8 QSO's and 2 grids

I might add that our max power was 60 watts on 222 and 432.  We ran 6M at about 40 watts (radio issues....which we forgot was an issue until well into the contest) and 2M at 50 watts.  The max antenna height was at 20 feet for 6M and about 18 feet for 2M; 222 and 432 were at 10 feet and 6 feet respectively.  


73 to all,

Joe
