  • Wayne (L) at the mike, and John helps with logging

    12/29/2002 | KE0BZ

    We operated from the shack of KE0BZ in Lincoln, NE, this year. The old war-horse NCL2000 from the NU0C shack sure made getting contacts easier, although RF getting into the keyboard made logging interesting at times! I think Wayne wants an amp now.

  • The vintage 'shack in a corner'

    12/29/2002 | NU0C

    A great contest, the band was better than I expected!

    After moving to a new QTH in September, I was still working on the room that would become the permanent shack. At the last minute, I decided to throw together a temporary shack on the computer desk... Read More

    The band was in great shape, it's nice to hear 10m wall to wall with stations. I only wish I had the free time to put in a real effort - I operated only a limited time - but had a blast anyway. Read More

  • K8BZ at the mic during the SSB contest.  First time ever for a sweep in both CW and SSB.  Thanks to the "rare ones".

    This was the best contest ever. Excellent participation from the rare sections. Thanks to those in Maritime. AK, VI, and YT. Will see you all again next year. Read More

    Now that we are starting on the down side of the sunspot cycle, I didn't know what to expect for conditions. Frankly, conditions were better than I expected.

    Things didn't start off all that well with a 3:1 SWR on the yagi. Gee, it worked 2 weeks befor... Read More

    Conditions much better this year than in the previous two years. There was a good smattering of Europe and West Coast stations to work. Worked my first VK ever in 25 years on 160 meters. Hearing anything beyond CA is very tough with a small antenna fr... Read More

    Had a terrible time sustaining rate this year. Just didn't feel
    as loud as usual. Then power went out Saturday afternoon as
    Northern CA was belted by a horrific storm. Winds as high as
    134 MPH were clocked on nearby ridges. It wasn't that fast at
    my p... Read More
