  • Antennas in the snow

    04/03/2005 | N8YSZ

    Great fun - from putting up antennas as the snow was starting down to running outside in the cold to armstrong things around. I'll be back in June! Longer write-up online at: http://brauhaus.org/n8ysz/jan05_vhf/index.html Read More

  • View of the operating position at AK1W (@K5ZD)

    This contest couldn't end fast enough. The last 4 hours was agonizing. Aurora and flutter on every band and no new stations to work. :(

    The first night was great. For the first time, I got a start that let me keep up with the guys down south. Was o... Read More

  • Even though I'm "in the weeds" in this picture, signals were decidedly <b>not</b> weak from here in EN46AU (Kitchigammi Park) to EN57vk (Great Sand Bay), 291 Km.

    The 2004 10 GHz and Up Cumulative Contest was different in many respects for me than the two prior years that I had participated. By this time I was using my own transverter-based system with a parabolic dish antenna and 2 watts, instead of a WBFM loa... Read More

  • C6ASB operating on the Atlantic coast on the island of Eleuthera.

    03/26/2005 | C6ASB

    I was fortunate to be able to operate from the DX side on this one again, returning to C6A once again. This year, due to the Sand Dollar Villa rental QTH on Abaco not being available, Sandy and I chose a new location, on the island of Eleuthera. The QT... Read More

  • JH1GVY's Portable Inverted-V for 160

    03/22/2005 | W4ZV

    I thought this was a really interesting note I got from Mori-San JH1GVY about his single band 160 entry using a station in his car and portable inverted-V antenna! I could not believe my ears when he sent "599050" and the other JA's I worked were usin... Read More

    The 2005 ARRL 'phone TE2M contest effort is the most recent rendition of 5 years of Multi-Two efforts from Costa Rica, most recently as TI8M from Quepos, Costa Rica. Our efforts began as a group of Atlantans who set up a Field Day type temporary effor... Read More

    All contacts were made on both 80 mtr. and 40 mtr. CW Band, using a replica of the old straight key that was used on the RMS Titanic. This key is about twice as large as the conventional J-38 Key type and requires lots of "stamina" to operate it over ... Read More
