N6ZE Hilltopper: Pete, N6ZE, very briefly operated during the 2014 "CQ" VHF World Wide Contest in the QRP "Hilltopper Category " from Coronado Beach, CA in Grid DM12. Contacts were made with KG6IYN on both meters & 6 meters in a
5 minute time period just before Sunday breakfast. (Pete was visiting San Diego for a couple of days with his XYL, Robin, and another couple.) The "Hilltop QTH" was a sand hill, some 10 feet above sea level & the rig was an FT-817 + whip antenna. N6ZE's 'nano effort' was an effort to show PARTICIPATION in VHF Operating/Contests, NOT to demonstrate a large score.

N7DB SO 50 MHz: These are the contacts made with my IC-502. Mic chip dead, CW only.

WW7D/R Rover: It was a fun contest with a spectacular Es opening for the last few hours.The detailed story is here: http://tinyurl.com/WW7D-CQWWVHF14

Conditions on Sat were terrible. 6M finally picked up Sunday afternoon.We were saved by a stellar showing on 2M EME. The DUBUS 2M digital EME contest was this same weekend, so there were lots of 2M EME stations on the air.
