    I roved to 8 grids with 10 bands (6m - 10ghz) during this contest.
    I was not suprised when there was a 6m Es opening, and almost
    everyone abandoned the "high bands". Luckily, a few people left
    their 2m rig tuned to my "home" frequency and left 6m t... Read More

    Had a great time this year even though, like many, lost some operating time due to other circumstances. 6 meters was amazing, 2 meters was good, and 70cm did good as well. I operated using our club's callsign. I was on the air with 6m, 2m, 1.25m, and 7... Read More

  • Assembled homebrew dipole for 6-meters

    06/24/2008 | NJ1Q/1

    Given that I had a few family obligations that weekend, I wasn't sure if participation was even going to be possible. (Besides, I didn't have a good 6-meter antenna to start.) After some "prodding by a good friend to operate," I opted to quickly whip... Read More

    "Novice Rover"

    Enclosed is an image of my "RAV4ROVIN" platform used for the June 20008 VHF Contest. As this was my first Rover operation, I wanted to check the feasibility of working from near a grid corner that's close to my home QTH. The antenna co... Read More

    It was a blast this year!

    Even if Murphy's Law struck twice! Last year I was moving from Mississippi to Texas during the Contest, this year I drove back to Mississippi to take my youngest daughter to Bug Camp (www.bugcamp.org) in NE MS!

    I had been pla... Read More

    Wow, what a great contest!! We had 6 meter propagation for most of the contest, 2 meters was active with tropo and E's, the UHF bands were enhanced for a good deal of time, and the microwave bands were active!! Many thanks for the good ops out there ... Read More
