My VHF/UHF array is mounted on the garage roof. This puts the topmost antenna (1296) about 30 feet in the air, which is 20 feet below the tree line. Needless to say, I don't expect great results, especially during the June contest on 432 and 1296 when the trees are in full bloom. I'm also handicapped by not having preamps on 432 and 1296.

With no band openings or enhancements, I did manage to do better this past weekend, compared with June. Most of the point gains were on 70cm and 23 cm.

Final score and band breakdown:

6m - 32 Qs and 8 grids <-- 2 Qs and 4 grids less than June
2m - 46 Qs and 13 grids <-- 13 Qs and 1 grid more than June
70cm - 29 Qs and 8 grids <-- 12 more Qs than June, but same number of grids
23cm - 9 Qs and 3 grids <-- 7 more Qs and 2 more grids than in June

Total - 116 Qs and 32 grids = 5,504

Furthest grid from here in FM29 was into FM16 on 2m and 70cm, at 240 miles.

My NAQP score was less than my VHF score. Guess that will happen when you only put in 4.6 hours into NAQP.
