  • It's a long, cold, dreary climb in winter

    01/25/2005 | K2DRH

    Saturday dawned cold and snowy after a restless night spent waking frequently to the sound of sustained 40 MPH winds with higher gusts howling through the guy wires. Having already lost the bottom 50 foot boom 6M antenna in early December to an even s... Read More

    KQ6EE (OLD MAN CHU) still can hike. I did not do any contact on Saturday because of family duties. So, on Sunday, wake up early in the morning, pack everything in my back-pack; from 6m to 1.2 ghz; Ft-817 for all vhf/uhf band, Alinco 220 HT, Icom 4 ba... Read More

  • K7MDL/R 10GHz setup with towel to keep the light rain and cold wind off. Pointed south at N7EPD and KB7DQH/R on Poch's Peak in CN96 (about 130km). This is Sunday afternoon on Green Mountain in CN98 at 2950ft. The snow topped mountain to the left is Mt. Pilchuck with the often visited "bench" area visible just to the immediate left of the dish. Everett is about 90deg to the right from this angle. The black box on the back is velcro'd in place and is a 15.36MHz TCXO connected into the directional coupler to act as a reasonably accurate marker generator at 10368.088MHz. I added a crystal oven to the brick PLO last week, and after a short warm up I found the stations quickly within 3 KHz of where I expected. W7NBH in eastern Washington CN96 came in strong over the Cascade mountain range on this angle on 6M through 1296, working the bounce off Mt. Rainer in CN96. It was mostly dry except when we wanted to work 10GHz!

    Traveled 4 grids, CN87, CN97, CN88, and CN98. The plan was to limit the road miles, stay closer to home, but extract every last QSO from each of the 4 grids. Also wanted to field test the new 10GHz setup. More details and pictures are at my website ... Read More

    Had fun, worked over 500 qsos from 100's of people in 60 plus grids/bands. I travelled about 800 and 11 grids miles during the contest and another 300 to get there and back. There was a great turn out in the Portland area with perhaps more operators th... Read More

  • Bob K0NR standing near the summit of Mt Herman with all the VHF radio gear in a backpack.

    01/24/2005 | K0NR

    For the January contest this year, I did a backpack portable operation on Sunday afternoon, operating about 5 hours. Just like in previous years, I climbed to the summit of one of my favorite close-in mountains, Mt Herman (DM79mb, ~9000 feet in elevati... Read More

  • 01/24/2005 | WR7X

    This was an extremely slow contest this year, with one of the worst scores I've managed to pull off since the first contest I operated in January 1995. I operated from the top of Emigrant Hill (DN05) about 8 miles southeast of the home QTH so I could ... Read More
