    Incredibly, I  completely forgot Field Day (again!) this year. Operated from the top level of a parking garage in Bethesda, MD. Had very little time to operate but I want to thank those stations who "pulled me from the noise" on 17W  this year. One rea... Read More

    Another good year in the can. The bands were in good shape and there were plenty of people on. I ran 1D again from the house. The TS-950SDX and my bencher BY-1 worked like a charm, as did the homebrew antenna. I ran CW only on 40 and 20 meters.  My G... Read More

    Bands sounded great from Oklahoma.  Hope to be back in the "field" next year.  I did better with the solar charged batteries than from the Generator.  Go figure.  Next year - back to class "B" battery operation. 73, -Ed, WG5F- Read More

    Only 1D (20kW genset wouldnt start!!!) from STX but had fun on PSK and RTTY on 20m.  Vertical dipole resonant on 13.225 worked fine.  A bunch of new contacts posted to LOTW.  14.070 very crowded with very few hz between stations.   Another fun year.  N... Read More

    Tom, WA2DAD made the most delicious dutch oven omlets this morning.  It was easily the best eggs I have ever eaten! Tom is the President of the Bear Bair Radio Club and we're up on Mt. Sabbatis in Long Lake, NY in the Adirondacks. It was worth the 4 ho... Read More

     Having a terrific time at nearly 10,000 feet in South Park Basin, Colorado. Fortunately, radio waves travel downhill.  Here's an interactive panorama of our 5A CO station: http://photosynth.net/view/b3228789-ae5e-4551-8080-093642bff7bb
