FN45 completed - 6m and 2m

 

This past saturday I managed to check off FN45 for both 6m and 2m. Peter, KA6U, is on an epic road trip from Floida to Maine, and back, all for the purpose of getting as many states as possible on 222 EME for Worked All States. My 222 system is offline, but luckily for me, he also brought 6m and 2m with him for the non EME times. 

"I plan to be QRV from FN45 Quill Hill in Maine tomorrow morning, Saturday from about 1130UTC until about 2130UTC.  I will be on a 2100 foot hill in a flat open plain in Maine.  I will be running a KW, 3 el 6M M2 Yagi at 30 feet with EME quality preamp.  I may also run my 2M station 7 el M2.  In particular I will look for long haul opportunities to the west and southwest.  I will monitor PJ and Slack assuming I have Internet access which is likely (have not been there before).  There is a possibility I could return to the site again early in the week if there is interest."
