    The June VHF Contest was fun as always, but the lack of multiple 6 meter band openings like last year was disappointing. Only experienced a short opening to the states west of my Northeast OH location into SD, KS, and NE Sunday afternoon with outstandi... Read More

    I had just purchased a used (but in fantastic condition) Kenwood TR-9130 all mode 2 meter radio and just in time for the January, 2007 VHF contest... I used a portable MFJ 3 element beam and it worked out great for USB and CW. I look forward to June's... Read More
