    Have Moxon, will rotate.

    It was "just a few months ago" I participated in the September VHF contest for the first time.
    I ended up with exactly 4 points for two contacts on two grids. It was a start!
    This June I managed to put the antenna up a little h... Read More

  • In CN98 on a 30 mile long 6,000ft. ridge above Lake Chelan looking south.  The view to the east over the Columbia Basin was excellent and unobstructed.  10GHz attempts to from CN98 here to DN17 were unsuccessful however.

    I targeted 9 eastern Washington grids on a clockwise tour around the state border to see some new territory and activate some sparsely populated grids. I happen to be at a mountain top for each Es opening Saturday, and when the Aurora started on Sunda... Read More

    I had a pretty good time during the contest, operating from the Rampart Mountain Range in DM79, west of Monument, CO at about 9300 feet. I tent camped in the Pike National Forest. Again this year, operated Single Op Portable, with 10 watts output (50 M... Read More

  • 6m vert. 2m 440 yagis.  Dont be fooled by jacktets, it was an SPF-50 day.

    6M

    Wow!

    We had consistent openings into the midwest and worked OK, TX, ND, SD even GA, and others almost all day long. We made more contacts on 6m than on 2m this time on twin yaesu 847's, and the new honda eu2000 ran flawlessly (and saved our eardrum... Read More

    Well this one was a mixed bag with the negatives outweighing the positives. Between power line noise, thunderstorms, flat band conditions (except as noted), and the equipment not hitting on all cylinders it was actually a rather disappointing June cont... Read More

    With W4PA operating from here for the past few years, I had forgotten how much fun ARRL DX CW can be. I have been travelling a lot for work so told Scott that I didn't want the pressure of having to get the station ready. Decided I would just play ar... Read More

    This was the best score for W3SO (FN00sn - WPA) since its first contest in 1996. The Sunday AU on 6m, 2m, and 222MHz was great. Our claimed score is posted at . Thanks to the New England Weak Signal Group for providing this service. If you haven't pos... Read More

    Finally the Hat Trick in the Sacramento Valley Section: three low power firsts: 1989, 1996 & 2005. The first was courtesy of a rebuilt SB-101 and paper logging. The next two came using my more modern TS-820, which is still in primary service. 1989... Read More
