    This was my second year in amateur radio and my second time operating Phone Sweepstakes from my little cabin near Joshua Tree.  I operated last year using a borrowed Tri-Ex T-436 crank-up tower with a 75 meter inverted vee up 23 feet at the apex, a two... Read More

     Dwayne and I got married on the Saturday of November Phone Sweeps 2008 and after celebrating with family, we promptly ran down to W1AW to play and celebrate with our great friends Mary, K1MMH; Sean KX9X and Ward, N0AX. We thus created WY7SS - Wyoming ... Read More

    This was my first serious SS attempt.  If you worked KD3FG Q MDC, I must say Thanks!  As a QRP station, I know that it is your good station and ears that pulled out my signal and your patience getting my info.  TU TU TU!

    I did work on getting my 400ft ... Read More

    Thank you to all who provided a contact.  I was mainly on 15 and 40 when I could with my FT-757 and vertical. The 757 is having an IF shift problem intermittently on LSB  which caused a few problems. Looking forward to next year.   73, Dave Read More

      This was basically the second work out for our "new Mendon” station. We have been working on this for some time and it seems to come together. We had a great time with NU5Y and N8BO great friends and operators! Pamela, K6NDV did a fabulous job in sup... Read More

  • 11/22/2010 | ve4mg

    I intended to participate for a short while to see if Manitoba might be needed as a multiplier.  I have  only an inverted vee and low power on 40 and 80, so it is limited what I can do.  My TA33 and 100 watts worked when  I could find a clear frequency... Read More

  • 11/22/2010 | K5BZH

      Running 100 watts to a ground mounted vertical makes Phone SS a little different than those of you with better antennas or even more power. It is still a fun game or I wouldn’t do it. Most of my operation is S&P, but I did get a short run before dayl... Read More
