  • The KM5PO shack. Position A in the background / 144 & 432. Position B in the right foreground / 50 & 222.

    06/16/2005 | KM5PO

    This was our first effort and did we ever have fun! Our infrastructure engineer (Phil, KC5SCH) was kept busy fixing stuff including a climb up the tower about 1 hour into the contest. Lee, N5TIF was super busy at the second op position with E's on 6 mo... Read More

  • "PegLeg," the 3456 rig, got a new SSPA and T/R relay for the June contest.

    06/16/2005 | W6SBA

    A poor choice breakfast item at Carl's Jr caused KH6WZ to make more frequent trips to the loo rather than the rig all weekend. In any case, here is our set up this year, with all bands except 5760.

    New bands included 3456, with a new SSPA, putting out ... Read More

    Contest started out ( as usual ) about as busy as a Magtag repairman! I knew that there were stations on due to the pings off an occasional meteor. I suffered through the Memorial Day opening with my 2-4CX250s amp on the repair bench. Fortunately, got ... Read More

    It started out like every other contest; equipment in need of repair and lots of tower work to be done. Somehow it all got finished in time and Saturday dawned full of promise. Es had been pretty scarce the previous week engendering hopes of a big op... Read More

    I started planning for this Junes contest last September. It was simple and
    ambitious, a dream, but one that would not come with out some pain. I would
    hike 6.7 miles through ... Read More

  • As the sun sinks slowly in the West ... W6SBA atop Magic Mountain

    06/15/2005 | W6SBA

    W6SBA, the South Bay Amateur Radio Club, operated as a multi-unlimited station from DM04uj - the REAL Magic Mountain, roughly 16 miles east of the Southern California amusement park of the same name and nearly 4000 feet higher in elevation. The site o... Read More

  • Quickie installation at W9ZB

    06/15/2005 | W9ZB

    I put up the whole antenna installation just before the contest, including an "Arrow" UHF (using a mount made from part of an old aluminum snow shovel). Everything worked flawlessly until the rotator stopped working after a few hours. It took a coupl... Read More

    K7MWD Limited Multiop from DM34

    After working the contest from the same location over the last few years we decided to go out on a limb and try a new spot. Our old location had become infested with FM broadcast transmitters and other high power commer... Read More
