[Wswss] DN37 update

[Lance Collister, W7GJ]

Well, as some of you lucky guys know, I was active last Friday night on Es, and last 
Saturday morning before the VHF Contest on FT8. My 6M6XHG was up on a 25' high mast 
on top of the mountain, fed with 50' of LMR600 Ultra Flex low loss feedline. Then, 
just as the contest began, my 6M1K2 amplifier quit, and I was left with only my 
barefoot FT-857. Given the fact that few people were answering my CQ's, I decided not 
to chance staying up there with the severe winds and thunderstorms moving in. So, I 
spend several hours tearing down as the winds became quite strong, and I drove home 
Saturday night. There is still a chance I may be able to activate DN37aa later this 
month with a small system for those who still need it.

In the meantime, I am now very busy getting ready to leave Thursday morning to be QRV 
with KB7Q from theconfluence of DN55/56/65/66. Hope to CU from out there with 350w 
and my 6M8GJ yagi. The extra 2.25 dB gain from my larger antenna will come very close 
to making up for the reduction in power available. We hope to see you starting Friday 
night!

VY 73, Lance
