    The contest from the Bunkhouse was a fun one!  We had many visitors(rovers), no enhanced propagation, good food, and a dedicated crew to keep up the tradition of good times at the Bunkhouse.  The 6M radio now has a 100 Watt red light bulb attached to a... Read More

    STuck rotor at the last minute and I'm aimed at the statistically worst heading for contacts.  I actually found out there are stations in SW IA and in the end had a good score  I think for only having one beam heading. These VHF tests are always fun so... Read More

    Every year I try and decide how much time I should put into preparing for this contest. Since I am now semi retired, I thought it would be an ideal contest to operate. Weeks before the contest took place, I started making postings, looking for skeds. W... Read More

    The goal of this rove was to shake down my latest rover configuration for a "limited" rover-in-a-rack (see blog) and check out the grids to the west of Kerrville, TX (DM90 and DL99). I found a few new, good operating locations and used a few of the ave... Read More

    After reading some of the other Soapbox posts, I'm almost ashamed to say this, but we had terrific weather for operating portable or roving in Southern California during VHF SS.  Activity was low and there was no propagation enhancement except for some... Read More

    I only worked about a dozen contacts for SKN but they were all nice leisurely contacts with my old J-37 key.  SKN is one of my favorite activites of the year, right behind Field Day.  Getting back to basics reminds me of when I was a teen ham in the 70... Read More
