THIS CONTEST FOUND ME FINALLY STRINGING UP A 10 METER INVERTED VEE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY 10 METER OPENINGS. I DID WORK N7ERU AT EMBRY RIDDLE UNIVERSITY ON 10, BUT IT SEEMS A LOT MORE SCHOOL STATIONS COULD HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE 10 METER OPENINGS.
I HAD QUITE A TIME RUNNING OUTSIDE TO LOWER DOWN THE 10 METER INVERTED VEE TO RAISE UP THE 20 METER ANTENNA ON THE ONE VERTICAL SUPPORT I HAD. SOMETIMES IT WAS RUNNING OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN TO LOWER THE 20 METER ANTENNA TO CONNECT THE COAX OVER TO THE 40 METER ANTENNA.
ANYWAY, I DID ENJOY WORKING THE ROUNDUP, AND I SURE DID MEET A LOT OF INTERESTING STUDENTS, AND I BELIEVE HAM RADIO WAS INTRODUCED TO A LOT OF STUDENTS WHO MAY POTENTIALLY BECOME AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS.
IT WAS GREAT TO SEE SO MANY TEACHERS, AND VOLUNTEERS THAT TURNED OUT TO GIVE MANY STUDENTS A CHANCE TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH AMATEUR RADIO.
I KNOW A LOT OF STUDENTS OPERATED DURING THEIR LUNCH BREAK, BEFORE SCHOOL, AND AFTER SCHOOL WHEN THEY COULD HAVE BEEN DOING OTHER THINGS SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM.
I CONTINUE TO BE AMAZED AT HOW MANY SCHOOLS TURN UP DURING THE SCR...ALL THE WAY FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO COLLEGE UNIVERSITIES.
HOPE TO SEE YOU IN FEBRUARY...TNX FOR YOUR CONTINUED HARD WORK AND EVERYONE ELSE AROUND THERE.
