      After surprisingly winning the Rocky Mountain Division Section in 2012, ( still awaiting the plaque) I knew I should try to better my score this year and get a Clean Sweep. Unfortunately I was not able to arrive early enough to acclimatize to the alt... Read More

    After 5 UHF contest trips to FN53 Maine, Neil, N1DGF, and I said this would be our last trip to FN53. Setting up 6 bands Field Day style was getting to be too much an effort for the very low QSO count. Little did either of us know it would be Neil's la... Read More
