    Started off a couple weeks before the contest with the rotor going out on the tower, which by chance (antenna in the photos) rotated the antenna I was planning to use for the contest. Then a few days after that the main contest rig went out, followed b... Read More

  • John, NZ9Z, and Val adjust the 80-10 Butternut

    03/14/2005 | V31TR

    It was quite an experience working from the DX-side, after being on the USA end for 45 years. Our team consisted of NZ9Z, W9MDP, WB9OBX, N9AQW, and W8JWN. WB9OBX came from KH6land just to be with his old Wisconsin buddies. His son, Steve, N9AQW came d... Read More

    I had lots of fun operating the contest. My QSO count was way up from the 2004 ARRL 160 Meter contest. My Inverted-L has sprouted a few more radials since December. The addition of more wire in the ground really makes a difference. I managed to hold a ... Read More

  • The main upper-HF antenna at W1JQ--can you find it?

    03/13/2005 | W1JQ

    During the CW section the call was aired by Clive, GW3NJW, from his QTH near Cardiff on 15 meters; two weeks later I thought it would be a good ide... Read More

    Wow, a lot tougher than I had planed in this one. I made about 140 QSOs less than last year. I missed the first 5 1/2 hours due to another planned activity with the XYL. When I got started only 40, 80 and 160 were going strong. I heard OO4UN on 80/7... Read More
