I Purchased A New House In August And Only Recently Finalized Setting Up The Radio Station. I wanted To Take My Time And Do It Right And Think I Managed To Find An Effective Way To Accomplish An Easy To Operate And Maintain Contest Station. I Was Far Enough Along With The VHF / UHF Install To Be Active On Moonrise / Moonset For The Last Day Of The Contest. Even So, I was Able To Work 3 Stations on 144 Mhz and be heard by a few more on 144 and 432. Plans are in the works for an H frame With Full AZ and EL Capability That Will Have 2 Yagi arrays Each for 144, 222, and 432 Mhz. Station Used This Weekend - IC706mkIIg, AM6154 at 300W output, 18XXX (No Elevation) at 41'. -- K7XC
