    Hi!

    I had to be in the office this weekend, so I brought some gear with me - an Elk Antennas handheld 2m/70cm log periodic, and two HTs (TH-D72A, ID-51A). I hoped to be able to try working SO-50, the ISS, and the new NO-84 satellite from balconies at m... Read More

    Another FD in the can here at ARS K8CPA Saturday was rainy and wet. Made for a bit of a time chasing the SWR around on the antenna tuner. But, all in all, everything worked out fine. Sunday was decent as well, couldn't be better, today is my 43 birthda... Read More

     After participating in the VHF contest in 2014 and creating a log, I could never find the time or figure out how to correctly submit it. When January 2015 came around, I decided to make an effort to learn how to do the January VHF contest. The day of... Read More

    Didn't have a lot of time -- very active late spring on the soccer pitch.  But, it didn't really matter since all the antennas are on the ground, except the 80 meter dipole and 40 meter vee, but they do tune on 6 meters.   Worked three new countries on... Read More

    It was a pretty much run-of-the-mill VHF contest.  I was operating 6 meters only.  The contest was in its final hours and I was hoping to get one more grid to make it and even 20.  Then around 00:30 UTC, Sunday evening, the band broke wide open and we ... Read More

    This is a rather long rambling so if you don’t want to read about all the broken stuff and my struggles to keep competitive skip down to the contest information.   The winter was cold and so was the spring, but it was dry and windy. Then came the rain.... Read More

    Over the past 7 years of being involved in this contest, this has to be by far the worst yet.  Travelled into 4 grids but could only activate 2 grids.  Only local contacts, few 6m DX, only 10 grids (51 6m contacts, mostly local), only local 2m SSB (not... Read More
