K1TR VHF Contesting - September 2002


 ARRL VHF QSO Party
2290' Pack Monadnock Mountain, Peterborough, NH, FN42BU

The weather forecast of high winds on Mount Washington caused me to cancel my original plan to operate from there.

Poor weather gave rise to poor propagation on all bands.  After 8.2 hours of operation (Saturday only) and with some concern that tropical storm Hanna might make Sunday difficult, I packed up and went home.  Final Low Power Single Operator Category - Final Score: 41.6k
