  • Stuck in the fog and ice on Saturday.

    01/20/2003 | WR7X

    I decided to operate from the top of Emigrant Hill southeast of the home QTH
    in Pendleton, Oregon (DN05). The almost 3000' of elevation gain certainly
    helped out! It was foggy and icy all day Saturday, but upon my return
    Sunday morning after a fog... Read More

  • N7CZ shack

    01/20/2003 | N7CZ


    Best DX was Bob N7AU in DN07 on 2M & 135cm. (TNX BOB!) We couldn't hear each other on 6M & 70cm as we have in past contests. Normally Bob and I can sweep 6M-70cm.

    On Saturday I spent slightly over 6 hours calling CQ on FSK441/JT44 toward known popula... Read More

  • It doesn't pay to get too worked up when things go wrong!

    01/20/2003 | N5QYC

    Boy! Was this a tough one. Saturday was dismal with very few contacts being made. I made a few 2 meter contacts to the local area and when I went to 432 I found out, that portion of my radio had stopped transmitting. I could hear the number of operato... Read More

  • The Shack

    01/20/2003 | AA1YN

    Saturday was dismal, very little activity, cold temperatures (-10F), equipment breakage, and very high electrical interference kept my score down. By midnight, I only had 4000 points. Just before the contest, I blew the receive IF attenuator in my 903... Read More

    This was my first VHF contest, and I really enjoyed it. Except for a late Sunday afternoon 6M opening, everything was pretty much local. Despite the lack of openings from my QTH (just outside of Boston), I really learned a lot. For example, I discov... Read More

  • 100 A N5SMQ 91 VA ????? Not LA ???? Yes VA it don't snow like this in LA .

    01/17/2003 | N5SMQ

    Didn't do too well this year. We moved to Va. mountains from La. swamps in June and didn't have time to set up good antennas so operated from the truck on the mountain top, and it SNEAUXED (snowed) Most I have ever been in, still had a ton of fun. Hopw... Read More

  • K1YPP shack and some of the gear.

    01/16/2003 | K1YPP

    My goal this year was to make the QSO with each station last as long as possible. I wanted to learn as much as possible about the operator on the other end. I'm not a contester, I really enjoy the QSO itself, quality, not quantity.

    This operating event... Read More

  • 01/16/2003 | K4JK

    This was the first time I did SKN for quite a few years. I was hoping to get a little more practice before going on the air, but jumped in any way. I made only one contact, Joe K0IVK, and it was as enjoyable as I remember my previous SKNs. I used an... Read More
