    Every year I enter this contest as a Single Op (QRP) Portable. Sometimes I wonder why. Maybe its for the adventure of it. I never know what conditions will be like, weather-wise or otherwise. Ive set up and taken down antennas in ice storms and blizzar... Read More

    Right before the contest I listened for the W3CCX/b on 1296 and could not hear it.. I looked outside and noticed the antenna was far from the needed direction. Put my climbing belt on and checked things out.. A U champ on the HyGain rotor had snapped i... Read More

    Operating from home station with no enhancements was a pleasant surprise
    this time around. I ran the lower 4 bands and quadrupled my last year
    SS score. This I think shows that contest activity was reasonably high
    for our area considering the weather ... Read More

    Two great events take place on New Year's Day every year: SKN and the National Hockey League's Winter Classic, which is the only NHL game played outdoors each season. This past year the Philadelphia Flyers played the Boston Bruins in historic Fenway P... Read More

    VHF SS 2010 went really well for the Southern California Contest Club rovers, despite a week of heavy rain and several feet of snow at higher elevations. Miraculously, the eleven 10-band stations all survived the weather. AF6O's toolbox rover was cov... Read More

    My first try at "roving" was the SS. I participated as part of the Southern California Contest Club rover "team," which consisted of 11 vehicles roving all over southern CA.

    SS weekend began the day after the longest and most fierce set of storms expe... Read More

    January 2010 was a mixture of HIGHS and LOWS for the newly renamed K5GJ/r Rovermobile: Unfortunately, all the HIGHS occurred before the contest started. We left Austin (EM10) on time headed for a start in EL28. The band was wide open and we were hea... Read More

    Well, it was a quiet rover trip for us this year. With KD5TDP and KE5AII off to college, that left myself and the youngest for an afternoon trip. Family rovers can be fun in rare grids. The job had me busy until just before the contest so it was barel... Read More
