     I made five contacts total on my small staion 2Meter EME system. Five countries were logged. The contacts were all made with the JT65B digital mode, running 300Watts to a K1FO 13 El Beam at 33 ft. The amplifier is an AM6155 one-tube "beast", with buil... Read More

    I have been playing around on 160 meters for a few years, and find it to be very challenging. The antenna is the weak link in any 160 station. Unless you live on salt water, any antenna you put up can be improved! Along those lines, I spent late Novemb... Read More

    I decided to put my new FT-817ND on the air during the November SSB Sweeps.  I really thought that running 5 watts was going to be more difficult than it turned out to be.  61 stations were contacted during my on and off 13 hour adventure using 80 thro... Read More
