[Mich VHF UHF Society] June VHF Contest disappointment

[Russell Dwarshuis]

Dave, I don't think conditions on 432 were very good and I wouldn't be surprised if they were even worse on 1296.  I don't have 1296 up at the moment, but I'd say a gross generalization would be that if you work someone on 432 then their 1296 should be about 1-2 S units worse.  If you worked K9EA easily on 432 then you should be able to work him on 1296.

MIVUSers:
(snip)
I put in a lot of work in the previous 
weeks to get my 1296 station together (30W DEMI transverter, 45L looper 
up 65', LDF-5 feedline).  I made unsuccessful attempts to work K9EA in 
EN71 and VE3ZV in EN92, both of whom I worked on the other lower bands. 
Being new to the band, would someone with 1296 experience share their 
opinion as to what should be workable with a station like mine?

I hope others in the club had fun this weekend.

73, Dave/K8CC
