    Well, this was my fist ARRL VHF Jan contest. What a blast !! I worked as single op, low power on 50, 144, 22, and 432 with a total claimed score of 4104. My QTH is just west of Ottawa, Canada, and I have been a ham for less than a year.

    No snow this January contest in most of Washington area. Ran only 7 grids this time out. Added 222 and 1296 which sure helped out with the points total. Lots of activity on both bands giving me almost 25% of QSO count. Highlight was making a 1296... Read More

    Well this is my first VHF Sweepstakes Contest and certainly one that will stick in my mind for some time to come. I have spent considerable time building my station over the past several months to better compete in VHF/UHF Contests. My last outing in S... Read More

    Waiting for the next contact was slower than charging batteries. Next June, I WILL HAVE SEPARATE RIGS FOR EACH BAND so I won't miss anyone coming through or IDing and leaving. Best contact was three hours before the contest started when I worked Wyom... Read More
