    Had a great time in the contest! Running 100 watts into all dipoles. Had my all time high QSO count and score for any CW contest I have been in. Was able to make 11 DX QSO's with 9 mults on 160 with my cloudburner dipole. What a great contest! Read More

    What a blast! Good condx! Working VR2BG was definitely the highlight. Used a pair of phased collinear verticals on 15 and a 40 Meter full wave loop on 40, 20 and 10. Still putting up antennas. I'm not a serious contester by any means, but did mana... Read More

    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

  • K1EBY running on 80 Meters. How many manufacturers have 
helped KB1H get on the air? Hint: Look carefully, there
are more than 10!

    02/18/2002 | KB1H

    With CW the preferred mode by most of the operators here at KB1H,
    the ARRL DX CW contest is the favorite. One of the gratifying aspects of contesting is
    receiving email from a DX station commenting on our ability to

    I have a G5RV sitting only 35 ft above ground in a city lot and 100 W, so I'm not in the KW club, but I managed to make 422 QSOs and 179 countries with about 24 h of operating time shared with my young family. (That means I eat and sleep when THEY eat ... Read More

  • 20 acres, and only a tribander, 80M dipole and 160 inv L.....

    02/18/2002 | K0BJ

    Real nice condx, but 20 was fritzy. It was interesting how good 10/15 AND 160 were. With an inv. L for tx and rx, I sometimes struggle hard to log JA on 160, and they were armchair this time. For SS and general operating, my 80M dipole tuned for 40 see... Read More
