  • 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

    This contest was an exercise in thrills and frustration. The first night was rougher than I had expected; had trouble getting going on 40, and probably didn't put as much time into 80 as I should have. Saturday wasn't spectacular, but things rolled a... Read More

  • Steve, GW4BLE.

    GW7X is the call sign of Contest Cambria (a group of like-minded contest enthusuiasts located in Wales).

    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

    I didn't know there was a contest and didn't know the rules - happened to turn on the rig and there you all were. I got hooked, had a lot of fun. I'm already looking forward to next year. Read More

    This was my first EME contest. Other obligations kept my on-the-air time down to a few hours, and I had only my 4 x 9 el tropo antenna (without elevation control) available for 2m. Nevertheless I had fun during one-hour windows at my time of moon ris... Read More

    I have been looking forward to the contest for a whole year! Propagation? I pray that the sun reactivates soon. The last few minutes I was looking for 2 contacts to get me to 400. This was nerve racking especially since I couldn't find anyone I hadn't ... Read More
