  • Yngvi, TF3YH operating at TF4M

    03/09/2005 | TF4M

    Operating Thor's (TF4M) station was quite an experience despite the poor propagation. I do feel that being a bit further North than usual does impact propagation especially with Aurora in the sky. The Rhombic farm is very impressive. Read More

    This was my first DX contest to participate in other than field day events. It all started out on Saturday morning when I went up the tower and fixed the Coax Connection to the Antenna at the W5QGG Clubhouse. After that was complete, of course I had ... Read More

  • 03/07/2005 | K0TV

    This year's phone contest was another great time here at K0TV. We had a few interesting guest operators and a decreasing amount of equipment difficulties.
