REVIEW: GM4DHF/P IO67UP Isle of Skye, 2008
Equipment 150W (12V) SSPA, x1 or x2 7ele H/B yagi (was actually
running 150W into a single 7ele for most of the time) Operation
from inside car at 200M ASL (Quiraing) IO67UP or Holiday Cottage
(sTAFFIN) IO67VP. This was a walking holiday with my partner Jan,
but I couldn't resist working some 2M Meteor Scatter. Almost all
random QSO's. Here are the 144 MHz MS Log for IO67UP:
