Brought along a 2KW generator so I would have lots of power for 6 M calling CQ, but no opening for me in Minnesota. Generator on the tailgate is much cooler in the cab than running the V8 to keep the battery charged. Using the cell phone for a heads up... Read More

After participating in the VHF contest in 2014 and creating a log, I could never find the time or figure out how to correctly submit it. When January 2015 came around, I decided to make an effort to learn how to do the January VHF contest. The day of... Read More

Didn't have a lot of time -- very active late spring on the soccer pitch. But, it didn't really matter since all the antennas are on the ground, except the 80 meter dipole and 40 meter vee, but they do tune on 6 meters. Worked three new countries on... Read More

This is a rather long rambling so if you don’t want to read about all the broken stuff and my struggles to keep competitive skip down to the contest information. The winter was cold and so was the spring, but it was dry and windy. Then came the rain.... Read More

Over the past 7 years of being involved in this contest, this has to be by far the worst yet. Travelled into 4 grids but could only activate 2 grids. Only local contacts, few 6m DX, only 10 grids (51 6m contacts, mostly local), only local 2m SSB (not... Read More

6 meters was dead, and I mean DEAD until late Sunday night. 2 meter EME helped fill the void but not like a weekend filled with 6 meter openings. Operated in Single Operator High Power category this year. The new rule to allow self spotting work great ... Read More
