    I headed out at 12:00 so that I would be in the best possible position in EM17 as the Contest started. First stop was the gas station to top off the fuel cans that would run the 12 volt generator to charge the batteries when the truck was not running. ... Read More

    Short rover session this time. Wanted to start in Cacapon state park near Winchester, VA but did not make it there in time, so decided to camp somewhere in the FM09 valley, near the Shenandoah. FM08us was next and surprisingly quiet - only met 1 rover ... Read More

    I made the last minute decision to go to Iowa, rather than to Belmont Mound in Wisconsin (where I had been the last two years) to operate Single Op QRP Portable from EN42. After driving around for a couple of hours, I stumbled onto a new housing develo... Read More

    It was really spectacular to hear extended tropo on 144 thru 2304 in June AND sporadic E on six all at the same time. Made for a very exciting experience for everyone, and a new June record for us at W2SZ/1! Thanks to all. Read More

    This Rove posed some new opportunities. The Van-Gough managed the 580
    miles and grids EM12,13,03,02,01,11, and 21. The laptop 'died' an

    I started a paper trail after the p/c cra... Read More
