Had the best January VHF QSO Party score I've ever compiled.
Weather was great, except for high winds late Saturday evening. This caused me to lower the tower.
Worked a personnel record of 902MHz contacts with the following stations:
W6QIW CM94, W9EC CM94, W6PQL CM97, KJ6KO CM98 and W6XD/R DM05.
We need to get more activity on this band for next June.
Looking forward to having a station on 220MHz and 2304Mhz in the June contest.
