This was my very first 10 ghz contest and learned plenty. I went down to Sugar Hill FN12mj near Watkins Glenn..and had a clear path to the west. I easily learned the whole process of trying to make contacts at this high frequency is very difficult..Trying to copy CW when all the characters seem merged together was my biggest challenge.. This winter I`m going to make some improvements, add a preamp etc.. I've caught the Very very High Frequency bug..  Thanks to K2DH for his knowledge to this newbie.
