    This was our first experience at VHF contesting, and roving. We had a good learning experience, and fun as well.

    Being new to this, we stuck with 6 and 2 mtr setup: rotatable dipole for 6 and a 13B2 for 2. To be honest, we were hoping for more act... Read More

    Im an old geezer that didn't start HF contesting till my hair changed colors and was not that good of a ditty bopper in the first place. My log had 209 raw QSOs, a chore for me, but realizing a few new countries were added, at least 4 for CW, makes it... Read More

    This contest was a lot of fun. Was qrv on 80m only with the K2/100 and twin deltaloop antenne. NA operators are good operators, good ears and fb signals. Thanks to all for fb qso, hope to meet u again.

    I stuck to my usual routine of casual "S & P"-type QRO operations on 160-meters (by far my favourite winter band)...

    Conditions didn't exactly set the world afire this year, but then neither did my operating techniques / performance, either...! The obj... Read More

    telephone business and enjoyed working with electronics. I knew in
    1965 that Ham radio was something I wanted to enjoy m... Read More

  • Operating from the summit of Mt Herman, with the FT-817 and a whip antenna. Note the tilting of the whip antenna to optimize the antenna polarization. I was able to work both vertically and horizontally polarized stations by just tilting the radio for maximum signal.

    After taking a few years off from operating backpack portable during the January VHF Sweepstakes, I returned to the summit of Mt Herman (DM79mb) near Monument, Colorado. The trail did not have much snow on it but it was very icy in spots. I reached the... Read More

    A fun time I worked only a dozen contacts off and on for about six hours. Nice rag chews and a chance to chat.

    Bad was noisy but workable.

    Waiting for next year. Read More

  • K9PY on Wasson Peak

    02/05/2010 | K9PY

    For the first time I hiked up to the top of Wasson peak (4,687 feet)
    near Tucson carrying 25 pounds of equipment on my back. Didn't make
    many contacts because it was really cold up on the peak. So I made
    some contacts, packed up the equipment and s... Read More
