Lots of fun, if I closed my eyes I could think it was 1978 again and I was scouring the Novice bands for QSOs. LOTS of activity, should be this way every night! I just got into restoring boat anchors, so this year used my "new" Hammarlund HQ-170A and H... Read More

I had a great time in this years contest with 181 QSOs on the five bands from 2m to 9cm. As I use a single 6m dish this means a lot of feed changing to be able to cover the three "continental" windows, but that's the challenge of multiband eme contesti... Read More

Hi
2010 SKN was another opportunity to work my old WWII J-45 (a J-37 mounted on a steel clamp that is strapped to the leg). Poor propagation and to many holidays compromises resulted in not to many SKN QSOs. Nonetheless, as years before, I feel very pr... Read More
