Was largely unsuccessful. I was using the homebrew 1.2Ghz 10 element yagi I built for TX. It was a 30 degree pass, so I think I need to try a pass with more elevation next time. I had one station that called me back but he got stomped on before I could get his call. I heard a station in there on the 2m uplink that said he was using 500mw with a telescoping whip. It seems doing this on 1.2Ghz is a little more challenging than on 2 meters...:thumbup1:

    I will not be there but hopefully by the end of this month I will have my New tower and antennas back in the air including my M2 6M5X. The old tower and all of my antennas came down in October 2023 during a Hurricane.
