    After years of US multi-ops together (K4OV and N1BA), this was our first experience on the DX side of contesting.  What an experience!  We brought poles and wires to a beach in the bahamas, and spent two days setting up Field Day style- a SpiderBeam fo... Read More

      No antenna for 160 at the moment, so a competitive all-band  entry was out of the question; decided therefore to just play for a few hours (N1MM+ shows on-air activity as 15 hours). Audio from the contest Qs is already on-line at: http://www.gw4ble.d... Read More

     Had a blast! Only got to operate for a bit less than 8 hours on Saturday and 1 1/2 hours on Sunday but 15 meters was lively. Felt I did OK considering 100 watts and a single dipole. The vertical didn't help at all. Maybe next year I'll have a gain ant... Read More

    2015 ARRL International DX Phone Contest   Winter is the perfect time to contest! No lawn to mow, not weeds to pull in the garden, and best of all, quiet band conditions. I operate a modest station, a Yaesu FT-840 unfiltered with a 260 foot sloping di... Read More

     It took 4 of us an hour and a half to string up the 94 foot dipole (same antenna we use every year). This antenna comes out of a third story math classroom ... across the school's driveway ... and is anchored in a tree. Man, it was cold. The first day... Read More

    We couldn't use our regular site on Blue Mtn. because the road is closed seasonally for snow.  California is in a drought and there is no snow on the mountain but that didn't seem to matter!  Instead we operated from a mountain 3000 feet lower but a do... Read More

    Great test, although conditions not quite as good as last year.  We had another personal best of 367 contacts - all S&P.  152 mults gives us a score on the order of 167K.  Not bad for just fooling around with an HF9V ground mounted in my back yard! Bes... Read More
