I was recovering from a cold and attempting to retrive my "get-up-and go" so I did not really participate but did a lot of tuning around and listening. Many very good signals. I even heard at least 2 Alaska stations on 80 meters Saturday morning. Thi... Read More

I didn't even know that there was a contest until I turned on the radio Saturday afternoon. I decided to take a "few minutes" and work a couple of "new ones" for my little QRP rig. I ended up operating several hours and adding significantly to my QRP... Read More

With CW the preferred mode by most of the operators here at KB1H,
