Sept 13-14 2008 ARRL VHF QSO Party
2006' Wachusett Mountain, Princeton,
MA FN42BL
Weekend was notable for its rather average band conditions. Weather was quite varied with rain late Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. Then a second front moved in bringing more rain and fog for Saturday night through Sunday. Equipment held together well with the exception of my 2304 transmitter, which failed Saturday evening.
