ARRL June VHF 2009

Just a quick look at the lash up we used to play a little in the VHF contest from the campground near Hixton, WI, in EN44. The mast is standard TV antenna mast like you would find at most any Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, etc. The mount is a KC9ECI homebrew special made from plumbing supplies. We had a dual band efactor antenna for use on 2M/70CM but had taken that down to put up a 20M dipole just before this was filmed. You can see the 6M dipole we had been using kind of dangling as we hadn't strung it back out yet from putting up the 20M dipole.

Jim, W9UUM is sitting by the campfire listening to Justin, K9MU still working the contest on 6M.
