2009 ARRL November Sweepstakes (CW)

11/09/2009 | K7WA This year I operated from the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park (WY Section) where I have a 2-month volunteer job this winter - a great place to be!

Used my proven (Salmon Run and 7QP) portable setup of 20 meter Hamstick on the roof of the car and four elevated radials, the 20 meter radials worked OK with the 40 meter Hamstick too until a bunch of the local Bison decided to browse through my site and knocked the radials down! Did it with manual keyer and paper logs just like the good old days.

This was my 50th Anniversary CW Sweepstakes - started in 1959 as KN7JRE - heard lots of other CK 59 stations in there, Congratulations!

IC-706MkIIG 100W,
Hamsticks for 20 and 40,
Battery and 3 amp Solar Panel -- K7WA
