[NLRS] ARRL Sep VHF W0ZQ Single Op HP

[Jon Platt]

A fun weekend playing some radio.  See my report below.  
Note that 902 produced my most band points at 68.  902 Q's are 3 points each, and both the KC0P/N0HZO and KA9VVQ/W9FZ rovers had 902, so 26 Q's and 8 grids on that band alone.  If your looking to expand your VHF+ stuff past 6, 2 and 432, think about 902 because it plays very well and there is good activity on the band.   222 is another good band albeit their Q's are two pointers.  
>From my garage I had one 5.7 and one 10G Q with Gary, W0GHZ .... over the hills and through the woods on a 17 mile obstructed path.  Still need to fix my 3456 antenna on the tower, plus I am a little unsure if my 2304 is working right.  More projects !

Comments:

No E's detected here.  Tropo propagation was a little above average on Saturday,
about average on Sunday.  On 6m 27 of my Q's were SSB/CW with 24 using digital. 
On 2m it was 45 Q's SSB/CW and 11 digital.  One digital on 222 and one on 432
with all other Q's SSB/CW.  With my small 6m station digital was very helpful on
that band and my best DX on 2m (FM08) was on digital.  While digital was a
useful tool, 176 of my 213 Q's (83%) were on SSB/CW.  Many thanks to the rover
duo of KC0P/N0HZO/R's and KA9VVQ/W9FZ/R's, and solo op K0BBC/R.
