    We had our first run at ARRL SS SSB (Multi-Single) from the new QTH here in OR, and had a blast. We had some problems, such as a power output control on the FT-2000 that was accidentally turned almost OFF for the first half hour of the contest. (no won... Read More

    Friday morning I left the house, late, for a doctors appointment in Reno (1 hr drive) thinking with the winds coming I needed to lower the tower when I get home later.... I never got that opportunity....

    For years now, my primary antenna tower has been... Read More

    My second Sweepstakes. My operating time is divided up (and sometimes assisted) by my 3 year old and 10 month old daughters and what they think I should be doing, but I still managed to make double the contacts (158 vs 70) and sections (66 vs 36) comp... Read More

    I keep saying I'm getting too old for this $%^&** (60 next week 46 of them on the air), but every Phone SS sees me glued to the chair for 24 hours. I had worked class U on CW portion to see if I could get a sweep there with a minimum of that beeping s... Read More

    This was our second SS-phone effort from WA7U. We've grown a nice crop of antennas in the past year, so we'll work on station ergonomics and switching next. We just picked up an older Alpha amp and it not only helped hold a frequency, it kept the shack... Read More

80 Section in 80 QSO's

    11/23/2009 | K8BZ

    I had a limited amount of time to work the contest this year, and wanting to keep the Clean Sweep mug collection growing I decided to try to work all 80 sections in 80 QSOs for a maximum possible score with the minimum number of contacts. Obviously the... Read More

    Hadn't entered this one seriously for a couple of years and really
    enjoyed it. Stumbled into VY on 15 before the contest started so I knew it was going to be a good affair, and sure enough earned the coveted mug Sunday morning around 9AM by working On... Read More

  • Tom KC8YAK and Andrew KE7ESD, working the sweeps from W8SH, Michigan State University.

    11/23/2009 | W8SH

    We had a great time from M.S.U. this year. The bands were in good shape and was nice to work many of the other school stations out there. Of course handing out "check 19" is always fun. Only 3 operators es only about 14 hrs of operation. Bagged 240 QSO... Read More
