Was only able to work the last 15 hours of the contest. The best 160m contest yet! Tried 100w into a 1/4w blimp-supported vertical, ~450ft unterminated "beverage" due east for RX. Worked almost everything I could hear. Highlights were VI, JA and JT mul... Read More

Saw my daughter in her school play Saturday evening, so my participation in the contest was mostly limited to Friday night. Even so, running 5 watts into a top-loaded vertical here in SCV was adequate to get me a handful of Midwest contacts in OH, IL,... Read More

This was my first 160Mtr Contest. Started the contest using 100 watts to a 1/4 wave sloper for 75Mtrs. Needless to say each of my first 25 QSO's was hard-fought.

This is one of my favourite contests because during day light hours I can be doing other things. I found that band conditions from the West Coast only fair, as I never had a good opening to the east coast. However, I was pleasantly surprised to not o... Read More

Thanks again to my brother Bill W4RM for making his station available to me for SS Phone. I was hoping to improve on my 4th place Unlimited Class finish from last year but came up a bit short.
Bill and I reconfigured his normal Multi Two station into ... Read More -

I operated as QRP with a temporary end fed half-wave wire in the tops of the trees around the house. I missed a lot of operating time, but still managed to garner about 120 QSO's and work most of the east half of the US from here in SC. The ops were c... Read More
