[TVARC] VP9/W6PH

[Rich Erlichman]

Wayne, I hope you didn’t get lost when you flew fighter jets.

But for the record Bermuda is East-North-East of central Florida, NOT SouthEast. . . . Just saying. J

I don't know where I got Pitcairn.  Bermuda makes more sense.  Anyway, it was a good test of the 6BTV vs the beam which wasn't great even when facing Bermuda.  Thanks for the correction.

Would be nice if it was Pitcairn, but sadly it’s only Bermuda!

I just checked my log and I worked him about 50 minutes ago. My log says he was 5NN so I guess he was pounding in here :)

An old Air Force friend of mine who was a year ahead of me at the Academy, is pounding in from Pitcairn Island on 14049.4 with his 100 watts.  I first heard him with weak signal using my beam pointed SE, rotated to SW and not much better. Switched to 6BTV and he is pounding in.  VP9/W6PH.  Good opportunity for vertical antenna.   I also worked him early yesterday morning on 80, weak signal but he copied me.
