QRP Phone sure was hard for SS. One guy would complement me on a 20 over S9 Signal. The next guy would never answer my call no matter how many times I answered his CQ. Thats the way it goes for us who surf on the edge of the MUF. Many thanks to the gu... Read More

For the past 6 years my goal was a perfect 80 QSOs 80 sections. I finaly did it thanks to all the Canadian stations and the lone PR on 15M sunday afternoon. How did LAX become a rare section and AK and PAC become an easy one ? I was worried with only N... Read More

TenTec OMMI VI+ 100w, Triband and dipoles. It was a weird SS. I normally miss Quebec, NWT and AK. This year I got QC fairly early and it seemed to take forever to get OK. I got MB and NL and then was down to OK, NWT and AK. I decided to quit lookin... Read More

From Stockholm, Sweden to Big Island, Hawaii. Eleven time-zones, that's
nearly half away around the globe. I believe I was the one who traveled the
longest for this wonderful contest. There are not that many "expeditioneers"
in this one, so not much co... Read More
