    Made the January Rover trip once again with Glenn KE6HPZ as my second op. Glenn runs the back seat handling 222 and above while I hang out on 2 and 6 in the front seat. Wx was great except for some really thick fog coming through DM05. We activated 11 ... Read More

    The snow kept me from working as much as I would have liked this January. I still managed to have a good time though 6 meters was absent and 1296 failed right out of the gate. As usual Jeff, K1TEO, was there for me and we even made a great snow scatter... Read More

  • IF radio antlers sprouted up all around the trailer/station somewhere in the desert near US 395  Grid square DM15bs.

    It was good to get out of the city and into the desert. We activiated the CQ magazine club station special event call sign WW2CQ/66.

    Conditions were flakey at best, but it was good to field test the newly-rebuilt 10GHz rig.
