The Sussex County (NJ) ARC first club effort in Sweeps was a big success for our group. A semi Field Day set up in November can be a challange. All eqiuipment including Generator worked Flawlessly. We guess we surprised Murphy this time. Read More

I decided to unpack the 75A-4 and Viking II for this year's SKN. The garage shack is unheated and the warm glow of vacuum tubes provided a little extra warmth on a cold evening. I had three nice QSO's on 80 meters with K7FD (OR), AC7ZL (AZ), and W6KN... Read More

I made it a bit challenging this year: Use only the Heatkit HW-16 with no VFO and (on top of that) use only a single crystal for all contacts. So I dug out my box of five remaining Novice xtals--circa 1972--and picked 7.040 as the winner. I used it ... Read More

I was very limited with antennas and propagation this year operating from Alaska but still had some fun. I operated with a 20M dipole trading off between a Drake B-Line and a 2-B / 2-NT combination with my trusty J-38 key. The QSB was up and down like ... Read More

This was another fun SKN - the busiest I've worked yet. It was very nice to have the 15M band open to the USA for several hours. I spent the majority of my New Year's Day working 15, with no shortage of QSOs at anytime that I was able to get on the air... Read More
