This is one of my favorite contests. Unfortunately, I was limited to only a few hours on Sunday morning. I started at 1400 UTC with my 4 element tribander pointed toward Europe. First a "search and pounce" yielded a quick 25 countries. After about 45 m... Read More

What a fun contest... Were band conditions better or worse than in the 2001 contest ? Hard to tell. Some interesting DX... working rare stations in the single op qrp phone category. Made a contact while transmitting into the wrong antenna... a 350' ... Read More

Another great contest. I operated only CW, and once again, it was proven that lots of fun can be had with low power to a dipole on 10 meters. Because of antenna restrictions, my dipole is in my attic, which likely cost me a few dB as opposed to an o... Read More

Man, what a contest!
I worked QRP with my new FT 817 and a wire dipole on our deck. Logged over 90 contacts and 30 countries including lots of Europeans, Africa, South America and Asia. Even worked Japan in SSB. Amazing!
I can't remember the last time ... Read More -

Very nice contest and 100% cw for a second year.
But for a change, I decided to use my hand keyer instead of using the computer for sending CW. Since I'm not an expert at sending fast, people did slow down to answer me at my speed, thanks.
I'll use t... Read More
