[NLRS] W0ZF SOLP June VHF

[Dave Fugleberg]

Family medical issues prevented me from roving this year, so I operated
when I could from home.

6 meter conditions were excellent. I did work some locals on 2m and 432,
using my satellite antennas which are at 16 feet and fixed at about 20
degrees elevation.

I went old school, analog only.  At one point I did set up WSJT-X and have
a look, but the interoperation with N1MM was acting squirrely, so I shut it
down and made no digital QSOs.

Mostly just tuning up and down 6m from 50.080 to about 50.260 and working
what I heard. Was fun to see the bandscope looking like 20m on a contest
weekend.

This was also my first chance to shake out a new configuration in the
shack, with a SO2R box to share one computer, headset/mic, paddle, and
footswitch between the K3 (6m) and the 9700 (2m/70cm).  Once I worked out a
couple issues, it worked great and made it easy to seamlessly switch from
one radio to the other.
