    Had a good time for the short amount of time operated. Just to cold and windy this time around to run QRP-Portable. Sundown Saturday about-5 hours was about it. Worked on 6,2,1.2m and 70,23 and 6cm.
    Equipment: Stacked 6m PAR's, Stacked 2m BigWheels,... Read More

    Great weekend and contest.

    What could be better. Excellent Santa Barbara WX, fantastic VHF/UHF location and a contest.

    I just moved to Atlanta, GA after two years of living / contesting mobile from the West coast. Again, no space to put decent antennas in my new apartment, but one day...
    It was very cold in the South East this weekend so I didn't risk a full operation... Read More

  • Need more aluminum!

    Saturday was really terrible here, conditions were dismal and QSOs were at least 100 fewer than last year. Sunday morning the bands seemed to pick up quite a bit and the high bands started working a lot better. Had a nice visit by Tim K0PG/R and Pat K9... Read More

    Operated on the rocks above the Windy Vista Overlook on the Mt. Lemmon Highway overlooking Tucson, AZ at about 7000 feet elevation after a short 10 min. hike above the road. Operated alongside, but entirely separate from, Pete KD7OIW. We had hoped to... Read More

    01/25/2003 | W4EUH

    This January contest found me in the process of moving all my gear & antennae from my old "shack" over to my new home. I was able to get both towers up, but the extremely cold weather prevented me from getting the 222 & 432MHZ Yagis up. So, I was limit... Read More

  • Paul, W2TAU, digging for hardware or tools to raise the antennas.

    The conditions seemed very flat throughout the contest as my rover parter Paul, W2TAU and I roved through EN92, FN01/02/03/12/13. We put together a minimalist affair with a "stop and shoot" instead of "run and gun" approach.

    The highlights were watc... Read More

  • A picture of the shack before I removed the mikes! Operate CW, PSK31 and RTTY.

    This was my first SKN ever in 22 years of being licensed. I made a total of 5 contacts on 80 and 40 meters (and one on 15). This was a real enjoyable event and it was good to hear so many hams participating and all the vintage equipment. I used by back... Read More
