[NLRS] W0VTT 2m Sprint Results

[Mike Cizek W0VTT]

Greetings,

 

Last night's 2m sprint was a comedy of errors here.  It took most of the day
to get the 2M5WL mounted on the short tower at 35'; 30 mph winds did not
help.  I didn't have enough rotor cable or feed line to reach from that
tower to my station, so I set up "portable" in the garage.  (EN33xx69HO
instead of EN33xx69HN).   Could not get WSJT-X and N1MM to talk to each
other, despite the fact that they worked just fine on the same laptop, with
the same radio, several times before.   Best "DX", and the only QSO out of
the EN field was WS9V in EM59 on CW.  Didn't hear anyone at all to the west.
K3s with internal XVTR; RFC 150w brick; 2M5WL at 35'

 

Band   Mode  QSOs     Pts  Grd  Pt/Q

         144  CW       2       2    1   1.0

         144  FT8      9       9    3   1.0

         144  USB     10      10    6   1.0

       Total  Both    21      21   10   1.0

 

Hope to see somebody (anybody) next week for the 222 sprint.  That will be
the first use of my XV222 and 222-5WL antenna.  No amp yet, so I will only
have the 20w from the transverter.  I feel like a brand new Novice again.
