[NLRS] January Contest-10 ghz from DM43fl

[Jim Hermanek]

Hello from Arizona....

Barry (VE4MA) and I were out and about playing 
10 gig with some of the Tucson/Phoenix uW group...We
operated from near the west slope of the Superstition Mtn
making paths to the Catalina Moutains to the south...&
Shaw Butte to the west....Signals generally quite strong with 
paths out to 75 miles...working 4 grids...6 Q's.

Barry was successful working 75 miles with a 17 db
horn and 12 milliwatts SSB laying atop the roof of the van.

Observation of the day was working AD7OI who was
on Shaw Butte with a 4 foot dish and 25 w.    no 
direct path, but his signal was heard bouncing
around the valley regardless of what direction we
chose to point...
