VHF Contest Time!
This time I kinda stepped up my game. September 2017 VHF contest I ran 7 watts of power into a 3 element yagi antenna. Furthermore, I had some time to somewhat prepare for this one.
- Bumped up my power to 50 watts SSB
- I bought(2 days before contest time) a 6m 3 element yagi (never did get it tuned up in time for the contest).
- Bought a 30-foot push-up pole because height is everything in VHF.
- Planned out a route to rove through EM37, EM38, EM27, EM28.
Well, 2 out of 4 ain’t too bad!
We got set up at EM28 and had so much fun operating that we just stayed there.
