Finally I was around and able to operate in a 70MHz UKAC. From home I had a 3 element LFA antenna and about 60W from a Spectrum Transverter driving a Bremi BRL-200 converted to 4m by Gavin M1BXF. I only managed 8 QSOs, the band was quiet, and most of those were relatively local. I […]

I did this contest along with Chloe M0GEJ using the The Vulture Squadron Contest Group call sign M0VSQ with 100W from the K3. We shared the operating roughly 50:50 and found it hard going. The dipole seemed to be unhappy at times towards the top end of the band and although signals were very strong we had […]
80m AFS CW January 2013 – M0PCB
I only had 3 hours in this contest and managed 150 QSOs in total. A slow start but I managed to find and hold a frequency for quite a while. Perhaps I should have done some S&P in the first 20 minutes and I may have made more QSOs in total. Was running 100W to a 80/40m […]
