K1TR VHF Contesting - September 2009



Sept 12-13 2009 ARRL VHF QSO Party
2006' Wachusett Mountain, Princeton, MA FN42BL

Murphy was omnipresent this weekend notably inhabiting the controller for my remote 903-3456 transverter box.  Apparently the rain Friday and Saturday, once again, got into the controller cable connection, rendering the box useless.  I need to get serious about addressing this problem. Otherwise band conditions were flat at best.
