[South Florida DX Association] June VHF Test Info

[Peter Rimmel]

Sorry this took so long to get onto the net, but AT&T was screwing with their systems. 

I have placed a Grid Square Map on my Ham radio web page that shows where I was able to work during the recent VHF test.  I worked 220 stations in the US, VE, XE, C6, CO and VP5 from here.  Note that the grid map almost creates a halo around Nashville at distances from 600-900 miles with a few longer, double skip contacts.  Other than the locals, I worked no one in close.  Interesting. 

Just thought you might find this interesting, compard to the South Florida propagation.  The worst part of operating from here is that I had to keep the antenna rotating 360 degrees to work them all...  Down in broward county, we can just scan back and forth 90 degrees to "see" the whole of th US.  

The map is at the bottom of the page.
