Band conditions were again truly awful.  Murphy decided to make his home here this contest.  We lost the 432 tower for several hours to a piece of coax burned up by lightning.  We lost our switch box to the 2M antennas.  Fortunately, 2M EME worked very well.

KI7JA Single-Op High Power CN85
Conditions were up and down, and I had an S8 noise level to the north on 6M and 2M, so contacts up your direction were challenged.  One thing I noticed for this contest was the lack of Canadians.  Gabor was not on, VE7IRA was not on, VE7XDT nor any of the others were on, that I noticed anyway.  Some reported VA7MM, but I never heard him.

K6EL Single-Op Low Power CM99
Noisy condtions on Saturday and few stations. Sunday was quieter and either a lot more stations or could hear the stations that were under the noise on Saturday.  No 6m openings here and in and out 2m prop...mostly out.

N6ZE/R Rover DM03 DM04
Pete,  N6ZE, conducted a small Rover operation in grids DM04 & DM03 during the January 2011 ARRL VHF Sweepstakes Contest. X-YL Robin, W7PBJ, did some logging while we drove South to DM03 for her to purchase terracotta flower pots at a nursery in El Segundo, CA and she made sure that we dined at a great
sea food restaurant along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu!  (This was a true cooperative venture!). An FT-100D was utilized for 6 & 2 meters, as well as 70 cm. For 223 MHz FM, a Kenwood TM-331A was used. Antennas were only vertical whips on a pickup truck: � wave on 6m; A - wave / � wave for 2m/70cm; & � wave for 223.5 MHz FM. No mountain top stations were noted, many �regulars� seemed to be missing, activity levels were quite low, and propagation was standard or below, gusty Santa Ana winds to 50 mph created high noise levels much of Sunday. I made 2 non- countable Aeronautical Mobile QSOs: 1 on 2m SSB and one on 70cm SSB. Other minor data: 18 single band stations worked; 9 dual band stations worked; 1 three station worked; & 6 four band stations worked. All QSOs were on phone  of which approximately 15 were on FM.

AGAIN NOT MANY OPERATORS AROUND. STILL FUN.
