2022 Five Backpackers Contests

That one has dual receivers etc. for diversity ops. It’s only used as a 10m IF for the transverter. Not sure if its owner has ever used it on HF. We were a bit low on bodies this time around so it was a smaller setup. The September 2m contest will be hopefully be a bigger operation with two of those antennas and a some more height. VHF FD is, again, man power limited, so it will be 6/4m, 2m and 23cms restricted section I think.
