I really did not have any serious plans for this contest but I decided to work a few QSOs anyway. I had been very busy and occupaid with some other things so a relaxing weekend just working some QSOs in the contest sounded a really good idea. I did not... Read More

A few weeks ago I purchased a used Corsair II. I ran it barefoot into a Titan vertical for this contest, at anywhere from 50 to 80 watts and gave the linear a rest. I didn't operate for more than a few hours but I worked everyone I called--it was gre... Read More
