  • What a way to wake up... and, yes... those are big, fat raindrops hitting the water.

    This was our second 160 contest, and it was more fun than the first! Our contest QTH was at Bodega Bay, California, made famous by the Hitchcock move "The Birds".

    We had everything up and running the night before the contest, only to awaken Friday mor... Read More

    To who ever thought up Straight Key Night, I say thank you and if I could I would buy you a beer. I only made 5 QSO's but all were great. My total time for these 5 QSO's was 96 minutes. Not going to win any contests but really had a great chat with one... Read More

    I thoroughly enjoyed this year's SKN after replacing a 54 year old 6ac7 that blew out minutes before 0000Z. W5TNX was using a crystal controlled 80 meter ARC-5, identical to my novice rig in 1964. His ironic comment that we were having a 2-way vacuum... Read More

    Kind of fun to work Dan, ... Read More

    This was my second SKN in over 30 years of hamming; the first being last year. The most memorable QSO this time out had nothing to do with content, but everything to do with circumstances...I was busy working WA0CFQ when at the stroke of midnight the ... Read More

    W3LPL let me become an F-1 junkie for the weekend. Thanks, Frank! It
    took three hours to drive up to his QTH after work Friday, & I simply
    decided to do CW because the station was still configured for code from CQWW (I normally do mixed mode from N4... Read More
