    I was recovering from a cold and attempting to retrive my "get-up-and go" so I did not really participate but did a lot of tuning around and listening. Many very good signals. I even heard at least 2 Alaska stations on 80 meters Saturday morning. Thi... Read More

    I didn't even know that there was a contest until I turned on the radio Saturday afternoon. I decided to take a "few minutes" and work a couple of "new ones" for my little QRP rig. I ended up operating several hours and adding significantly to my QRP... Read More

  • K1EBY running on 80 Meters. How many manufacturers have 
helped KB1H get on the air? Hint: Look carefully, there
are more than 10!

    With CW the preferred mode by most of the operators here at KB1H,
    the ARRL DX CW contest is the favorite. One of the gratifying aspects of contesting is
    receiving email from a DX station commenting on our ability to
    "dig his weak signal" out of the QR... Read More

    I have a G5RV sitting only 35 ft above ground in a city lot and 100 W, so I'm not in the KW club, but I managed to make 422 QSOs and 179 countries with about 24 h of operating time shared with my young family. (That means I eat and sleep when THEY eat ... Read More

  • 20 acres, and only a tribander, 80M dipole and 160 inv L.....

    Real nice condx, but 20 was fritzy. It was interesting how good 10/15 AND 160 were. With an inv. L for tx and rx, I sometimes struggle hard to log JA on 160, and they were armchair this time. For SS and general operating, my 80M dipole tuned for 40 see... Read More

    It was again real fun joining the ARRL international DX contest (CW). I was amazed about the number stations I could work on 15m from Europe with my indoor antenne and 100 watts. And believe me that is not so easy blown away by European stations sendin... Read More

    I want to thank all the stations for the nice contest.
    On 80m my signal was weak because i had a problem with the tuner
    i could not run full power because if i used more than 40W the automatic tuner started to tune,i had to repeat things often
    so thank... Read More

    I think my code speed went up with this one! :) This was my first
    real attempt at a CW contest. Thanks to short, formulaic exchanges,
    I was able to handle the 20+WPM speeds of the folks calling CQ. I
    didn't dare call CQ myself, however, as there wo... Read More
