    I decided to try Single Op QRP CW only not knowing if I could make any Q's at all. What a pleasant surprise! It first sounded like the Florida QSO Party, but the band finally stretched out to the Midwest. The only Northeast station I heard (and work... Read More

  • The St. Louis Ham-Key that I used for the qso

    03/26/2009 | KC0EEP

    In my tenth year as a Ham, I finally got the hang of CW - the SKN night was my first event. I had no "novice station" to drag out of the closet, but instead, was hunting for an op that I had copied 2 months prior to the event - I hoped that now that I... Read More

  • 3 elements on one side of the 6 square for 80m

    03/20/2009 | GM3PPG

    I operated 80m single band SSB again from the island of
    North Uist, Outer Hebrides. Set up a 6 el. vertical
    phased array next to the Atlantic again, but operated from
    an old croft house this year rather than /P. No faults
    with either rig or antenna - ... Read More

  • Finding a suitable spot at Liberty Station.

    03/20/2009 | KA6U

    We had about 13 scouts from Troop 500 in Point Loma participate in the radio merit badge and JOTA at Liberty Station. According to our log sheet, we communicated with 9 other JOTA amateur radio stations in different parts of the United States. We used ... Read More

  • Station with an ocean view

    03/18/2009 | FP/KV1J

    Operating from the French island of Miquelon, off the southeast coast of Newfoundland. Tough time of the year to go there! Had delays in both air and sea travel due to storms and sprained my ankle when I slipped on the ice while traveling.

    Antennas... Read More

    To start off, I think I have convinced most people that I am stark, staring mad. At least my non-ham friends now believe this! I think a lot of ham friends now do, too.

    The night before the contest I set up the 9-band station (144 thru 10368 MHz) in my... Read More

  • All smiles AFTER the PSU repair

    03/14/2009 | GW7X

    The planned single-band 40M operation here *almost* didn't happen!

    Just hours before the start of the contest the PSU failed in the main station computer - fortunaetly this was around 14:00 (2pm local time) and I was able to get a repair, if it had be... Read More

  • Contest station of PJ7B in condo room

    03/13/2009 | PJ7B

    Have been doing this contest from St. Maarten for over 10 years. Very little activity on 15 and 10 meters this year. For one of the first times there was another PJ7 on the air in the contest so that really cut down the qso's on 20 meters. Did have ... Read More
