[Moon] VE6TA 432 Mhz Dubus Results

[Grant Furnald]

Folks:
Had an enjoyable time again this contest despite the substantial 
ionospheric disturbance at high latitudes and the shortfall in active 
stations.
The auroral effect caused polarity spreading at low elevation angles and 
and extreme QSB on the weaker stations. 
Despite this, I managed to work 3 new initials to bring me to 122 on 
this band.

The following stations were put in the log:

G4RGK, JA9BOH, JA6AHB, KL6M, W8TXT, SV1BTR, SM3AKW, RW1AW, G3LTF, 
SM3BYA, DF3RU, OH2DG, UA3PTW, K1FO, K2UYH, F2TU #120, OZ4MM, VK3UM, 
SM2CEW, SP6JLW, FR5DN, OZ6OL, F3VS #121, I5CTE #122.

Stations went from extremely weak to extremely strong as G3LTF has 
remarked, within an hours time. 

Heard but not worked were:
EA3DXU, SM2A, DK3WG, VK4AFL, and DL7AFB.

All in all quite enjoyable but at the risk of repeating what others have 
said, we need more stations on to keep the critical mass going.

73's to all and see you on 23 and 13 cm.
