[Mich VHF UHF Society] January VHF Contest

[Russell Dwarshuis]

I got on for roughly 4 hours over the weekend.  I checked a couple of other times and there was precipitation static preventing me from hearing anything.

The good news is I was able to get back on 222 after a long absence.  The bad news was I heard no enhanced propagation on any bands, plus the S9 precip. static.

I made 83 total QSOs.  Claimed score was 5014.  I ran 1KW on 6m, 50 watts on 2 and 100 watts on 222 & 432.  Best DX was on 50 MHz, roughly 500 km.  I entered "MICHIGAN VHF-UHF SOCIETY" for the club, the ARRL email log checker seemed happy with that.

Harv, I don't think we've worked before so I'll be looking for you in the next contest.  My station is in EN71

Hi all, 

I hope others had better success than I did. I was able to only make 5 contacts. 2 on 432 , 2 on 6 and 1 on 2 meters for a whopping 21 points. My best result was on 432 to Steve N4PZ west of Chicago some 600km. 

Anyway, I have sent in my log and claimed association with the club.
