    Great E's openings on 6 meters during the contest. Even my 5 watts ssb and dipole at 15 feet made plenty of excellent contacts in only a few hours of operation during the contest. Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, and Sunday morning were very good ... Read More

    The pre-contest maintenance list seemed simple this time since everything had made it through the winter intact. After blowing the old one up a couple times, Id finally upgraded the 2M preamp so I could run full power on 2M and play with 2M WSJT EME. ... Read More

    I thoroughly enjoyed operating the VHF Contest this weekend! Saturday was an incredible day with the 6 meter opening. It was great to be able to work into Washington, Oregon and Montana from New Jersey. Being on the East Coast, that was really excit... Read More

    Once again, I had a great time operating in this contest.

    This year, I added a second M2 2M5WL yagi to the 144Mhz station equipment. I believe this additional antenna increased my 144MHz QSO count from 83 to 105 over last years contest.

    We enjoyed so... Read More
