Really enjoyed the contest this weekend. Despite having to go to work as well.
First failure of the day was at switch on. Accidentally put RF through the 23CM preamp on the mast.
Despite that it was back to back contacts until I decided to drop the tower over and fix the preamp.
Tower back up and just time to put a call out for a test before bed. Glad to say all was well and was rewarded with best DX for me on the contest. G7AVU Bob at 152km. Most pleasing contact was with G3KJX/P on 5665mhz superb signal first time he had taken the equipment out.
Worked all bands 70cm to 1.2cm with M0DTS/P on the Sunday. 22 contacts in total great activity level not a spare moment, Thanks everyone
