144Mhz Contest

Sorry about the quality of the video, it was recorded in the evening and I only had a small ammout of light in the shack. The antenna I used at the time was a W-2000 6/2/70cms vertical in the loft. I now use a horizontal dipole cut for 144Mhz. Plus I'm not in a very good location for VHF. But I like a Challenge, hi hi.

Nice video there, Just bought the Kenwood TS-700A, very similar but only diff is has a switch for toneburst and Repeater offset off OFF, PLUS or MINUS. Beautiful radio with a nice quiet receiver in SSB mode. Love the radio, only bought it for $50 USD 2 months ago. Nice video, thanks. Made my first contact, with 10 watts into a 10 element beam ( Horizontal ) in SSB, was 27 miles away, with the antenna only at 12 feet off the ground, not bad eh?

Cheers,

Steve
