2m: K1TEO QSO with N1BUG June 12, 2016

Jun 13, 2016, 10:35 AM

Just getting back on 2 meters, I was running 25 watts to a short (5 foot boom), poorly designed 7 element yagi about 27 feet above ground. This was my best DX in the ARRL June VHF Contest, a distance of 345 miles. I am in a valley, though this is one of my "less poor" directions. My CW note sounds funny because there was some RF getting into audio cables.
