N1API CQ VHF Contest Results - N1API - 07-17-2016 Here are my results from the contest this weekend. START-OF-LOG: 3.0 LOCATION: CT CALLSIGN: N1API CLUB: Meriden ARC CONTEST: CQ-VHF CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP CATEGORY-ASSISTED: ASSISTED CATEGORY-BAND: ALL CATEGORY-MODE: MIXED CATEGORY-POWER: LOW CATEGORY-STATION: FIXED CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE CLAIMED-SCORE: 3600 OPERATORS: N1API NAME: Al ADDRESS: ADDRESS-CITY: ADDRESS-STATE-PROVINCE: CT ADDRESS-POSTALCODE: ADDRESS-COUNTRY: UNITED STATES Band ------- Mode ------ QSOs ------- Grd 50 --------- CW -------- 14 ---------- 6 50 --------- SSB ------- 44 --------- 26 144 -------- SSB ------- 16 ---------- 8 Total ------ Both ------ 74 ----------40 Score 3,600 The primary purpose here was to test the new 2 meter beam and the rebuilt SteppIR to see how they performed. I pleased with both. Thursday I decided that the 857D need it's own HF meter so I ordered a Diamond SX-100 from HRO it arrived Friday and it was up and working in no time. Now I don't have to reach behind the DAIWA to see the power on the 857D and forget to switch it back for the 1000 MP. 2 meters did not have any openings. What I worked was primarily ground wave. I've discovered I can work New England, NY, (some) NJ, and some PA. I did not hear RI on 2 but I'm sure if they were there I could have worked them. 6 meters had some nice opening. Yesterday toward the end of the day it finally opened up to the West. out as far as IA. I did hear ND, Mexico and DE on 6 could not work any of them. Today the opening was to the South and some stations had huge signals and were there every time I passed through for hours at a time. Tried a couple of runs on 6 and 2 with limited success. I worked a few old friends from 10 meters on 6. N0TW who is the new incoming 10-10 president next year was so loud I had to turn around to see if he was standing beside me. Those of you who went to the 10-10 convention in Hartford should remember Terry N0TW. Much fun for the weekend as I was running from 6 meters to 2 meters to 20 meters chasing counties. there. I did managed to knock off a few hard ones in Vermont, Main and New Hampshire on 6 and two meters. If you played this weekend I hope you had fun. Al - N1API RE: CQ VHF Results - N1ZN - 07-19-2016 I had very little time to operate due to family events both Sat and Sun. Did manage to make a few contacts. Worked a bunch in EN land.
