I agree with KE5ZRT, the band conditions weren’t the best today. After an hour or two of butting my head, I ran some errands and got back about 45 minutes before the event was over. I only made 12 contacts, six in the last 45 minutes or so. A comme... Read More

Not the January Context I had planned for but all in all this was a good functional "test" of old equipment, new equipment and transverters and techniques in advance of the June Contest. Borrowing concepts from Wayne, N6NB, and pressing much of my extr... Read More

Last year I removed all of the beams and one of the towers from my former home in Aruba. I had not been back to the house since then and I wanted to operate one final contest before removing the remaining tower and vacating the premises. I spent two da... Read More
