    Well, I must admit , SSB is brutal and not for the faint of ears. I operate and love CW most of the time but since I made a CW sweep this year I thought I would try for the SSB sweep. Well, did not make it as I missed ND and WY and I live in Colorado... Read More

    What a difference from last year, solar flux down, geomag activity up!
    It was much harder to hold a run frequency with LP and the longer skip zone on 20M especially late Sunday morning and early evening.

    CW Sweepstakes has been my favorite contest, and it continues to facinate and challenge me. It is a totally unique and ultimately rewarding experience in contesting, and I hope that it never changes.

    This was my first CW Sweepstakes ever and WHAT FUN!. Not a great score, but I had a really great time. Thanks to my XLY for taking care of the kids during the evenings. Working 40 meters in the evenings sure gave the front end of my TS-520S a workout. ... Read More

    The November Sweepstakes. The contest to test your mettle. The contest that proves how much of a lid you are, with no one able to really run away from the pack, with the long and complex exchange, with the combination of high rate and efficiency in t... Read More

    This year's SS Phone was a low point score-wise for me. It seemed band conditions were constantly changing and I had to ask/send a lot more repeats than in past years. Sure shows you what poor band conditions will do.

    However, it was nice to see a ... Read More
