The Martinez ARC used the first hour of the contest as an exercise for relatively new hams in using FM simplex frequencies. It was a good experience for the newer hams, since there were a number of experienced contesters on the air all around the San F... Read More

This year seemed to be the same as last year. The rotor was out by 15 degrees or better, darn wind. Once I figured it out, I was able to compensate. We would have liked to have had a longer 6 meter opening, like last year. And with the temperature up i... Read More

Well, not the most exciting VHF contest I've worked but any day playing with radios is a good day. I operated portable from our cabin near Trout Creek Pass, DM78av, focusing on 6 Meters and 2 Meters. Activity was light but there were a number of rovers... Read More
