    I only put a minimal effort into this contest. I went roving to two grids in the Twin Cities, MN metro area on Sunday with ten bands: 6m thru 10ghz.

    01/21/2009 | N0JK

    A "tough" contest with NO tropo or aurora noted. Very windy Saturday, which made aiming the antennas difficult. Even "routine" contacts like N0LL and KB0HH were not easy from the Cattle Pens. Highlight of the contest was working W9RM EN52 on 6 Meter SS... Read More

  • Snow flurries on Skyline Drive in FM08

    01/21/2009 | K4GUN/R

    beginning of the contest but a new band was now installed which provided the
    highlight of the contest.
    With the expert assistance of W2PED we constructed a 24GHz box th... Read More
