This was a first, both for me and for my kids. I had upgraded to General Class early last year, but just recently got an antenna put up and borrowed a rig from a friend. My prior HF experience was a few contacts made at Field Day last year, so these ... Read More

My station for this contest was a TS-480SAT running 50 watts into a square loop at 30 feet on six meters. I enter all my VHF logs into the ARRL Log-of-the-World system and encourage everyone else to do this in order to make awards like VUCC easier to ... Read More

(reference to K2DRH's comments)" This one had almost nothing: No Au, I missed the minor 6m Es opening, & tropo propagation was below standard. I conducted a very small Rover operation in grids DM04 & DM03 during the January 2012 ARRL VHF Sweepstakes Co... Read More

First attempt at a RTTY test. It was a blast. Ended up with about 75 Q's and a few DX entitiies. South Africa on 15 was the highlight of the test for me. I used my trusty (cheap incase my homebrew interface blows something) FT-897 and a dipole tune... Read More
