KK6MC/r in January Contest score without 902 and 1296

Good question Mike. If I had not operated 902 to 1296 my score would have been about 14600, so about a third of my score is attributable to operating on 902 and 1296. It is not so much the points

Re: KK6MC/r in January Contest

Mike, if you're thinking about adding bands, with how strong you are on 2M, I'm sure we could work on 432 easily (depending on your power out - I have a KW) and probably on 900 and possibly on 1296.

Re: KK6MC/r in January Contest

Jim, How much of your score was attributable to operating on the frequencies above 432? Mike, n5sj

Re: KK6MC/r in January Contest

Duffey, Your VHF Rover outings are simply mind boggling! The effort you put into planning, preparations, and the scale of each trek leave me almost speechless. Good on You, Mate!! 73 Jonesy --

Re: W9RM January VHF

CQWW CW is the one major contest I could never attend at our multi-op, which was too bad. it's easily the best of the four major DX tests. Thanksgiving with family had to take precedence if I wanted

Re: W9RM January VHF

This year (maybe every year ?) January VHF conflicted with a much more entertaining contest, NAQP SSB. I consider NAQP's some of the best contests of the year and I know there were a few locals up

Re: W9RM January VHF

Just the wrong week for my family. But for me so is the CQ WW DX Contest on Thanksgiving weekend. Mike, n5sj.

Re: W9RM January VHF

The Stew Perry 160 contest is held on the Saturday night between Christmas and New Years Day. Being only a 1 night contest, I would think to conflict between ARRL VHF and Stew Perry would be minimal.

Re: W9RM January VHF

Add into the mix the Australian Open Tennis Championship (mid weekend). Watch it live from late evening to early morning (and miss the 160/80M openings) or replay from very early morning to mid

Re: W9RM January VHF

On the two earlier weekends there are four games on, two each on Saturday and Sunday so participation could be even more affected. That said, earlier in January would be closer to the statistical

Re: W9RM January VHF

Who knows how entrenched. For me I put sports up there with the sonic boom gap as an item of importance. But every other of my buddies at Saturday breakfast follow football like a teenager follows

Re: W9RM January VHF

A quick search of the QST archives shows that in the early 60s the January contest was held on the first or second weekend on January, certainly a better date than we currently have. Suggestions to

Re: W9RM January VHF

How entrenched is the tradition of having the ARRL January VHF contest on AFC/NFC championship weekend? There is no ideal date that going to work for everyone, but it seems to make a

Re: W9RM January VHF

Pretty similar observations from a couple of sites in DM85/86 with very low noise, but I'd add what seemed like a decent 6 m opening to southern California Saturday evening. I came to think of 6 m

Re: W9RM January VHF

A few other things, just among us local boys and girls... I have found using a full-band spectrum display a MUST in this period of the rise of the machines. When the only signals on the band are

Re: W9RM January VHF

From what I remember, the January contest started because a couple of eastern VHF clubs (Pack Rats, Mt Airy, ect) wanted a event to get guys out winter mountain-topping. It was scheduled in January

Re: W9RM January VHF

Glad I wasn't the only one with an amp issue. I have a decrepit SB-220, converted to 6 meters only. Started hearing a rapid tick-tick-tick sound in the receiver late on Saturday. New local QRN ? Very
