[NLRS] My plans

[Mary Brown]

I am still down on 2m with an intermittent in the antenna system. I will be
on 6 and 432 as much as I can, recovering from leg surgery so sitting to
long is bad...

Last time I tried to post there it didn't like my old Firefox browser.

My plans are to be on 6m, 2m, and 432 from home with 2m and 432 beams fixed
looking east because the rotor has quit. The 6m antenna is a 21' 
long dipole that has worked from New England, to Florida, Georgia, Alabama,
Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana,
Washington, and British Columbia during great 6m band openings. 
Its not rotatable but the long length does cause lobes near the wire
direction.

The 2m beam is only 5 elements and has a broad pattern and I have worked
W0UC and KA0RYT with it pointed east in contests past but its kind of hidden
behind a Morton Building to the north of the beam and that makes working
twin cities on 2m difficult. Someday maybe I'll get the antennas bigger and
on a tower with a working rotor. Otherwise Iowa activity has been rather
slim recent years.
