70 cm Activity Contest

I did the 70 cm activity contest from home last night. I do much better on this band if I can get out portable, but the XYL was using the car.

Conditions had been good over the weekend and I expected great things tonight. Sadly, conditions were very flat here in SE London but, going by the 'Claimed Scores' page on the RSGB web site, stations further north seemed to enjoy good openings.

6m Activity Contest

I had a go at this tonight; first time I think. Conditions were not great and only managed three Qs and 2 Multipliers. I heard a few other stations, but with my 5 Watts and an indoor dipole (non-rotatable), I was not able to work them.

I don't realy have a 6m portable capability, to get myself to a better location, but I might work on this to see if I can improve my scores in this event.
