Murphy was visiting again.  We had lots of repairs before and during the contest.  6M was pretty good this time, although spotty.  We had openings to the NE and to S. America via TEP.  Another very good session on 2M EME although we lost 2 hours to a broken wire.

N6ZE/R Limited Rover - LAX - 2 Grids Activated: DM03 DM04
I activated DM03 & DM04: most QSOs were made from near the LAX Intl Airport, Marina Del Ray, and 2 spots in the Santa Monica Mountains; all but 2
QSOs were made from LAX Section; 92 QSO > ( 127 QSO Points) times 16 Grids = approximately 2032 Points total. Equipment: FT100 and TM231 utilized with whip antennae only. No great propagation noted, but I had half a 6 m QSO with XE2ML (DL74). (Half a QSO = Zero Points). I think that a few SoCal stations were able to work a Chilean station on 6m Te propagation.) I worked only 1 station in DM14 and on 223.5 FM, no less. My �competitor�, K6LMN/R (DM03/04), was bemoaning that he�d worked no one in DM14 as of late Sunday afternoon. The only mountain-topper I heard during my limited hours on the air was K6MI at 8012 ft on Frasier Peak in the Northeast corner of DM04.

Another enjoyable VHF contest! I roved through nine grids around the Pacific Northwest. Most were hit from my car, but I flew to one grid in a small airplane and set up some beams on the ramp. Bad weather prevented me from hitting another couple of airports. The more detailed story can be found here: http://wp.me/p2iCLk-4M
