    Operated as a rover for just a few minutes on Sunday on the way to and from an errand. Maybe my lightest effort ever! Thanks to W2UAD, WO2P, and N2KXS for the nice QSOs. Used the http://www.b4h.net/cabforms/ method of entering my log. Very nice for... Read More

    I was very active in ham radio and the January VHF Sweepstakes contest about 15-20 years ago, and currently don't really have much of a useful setup. But I've been keeping track of the local club's mailing list, and on Thursday before the contest a mes... Read More

  • Friday morning driving 500 miles to Homer, alpenglow on Denali from the Parks Highway. Great way to start.

    01/27/2010 | NL7HJ/R

    I wont have a high score (by a long shot), but I definitely drove the most beautiful 1300 mile rover route in this contest. Homer, Alaska to Pedro Dome NE of Fairbanks, the wx was cool and clear the entire weekend (-10F to 10F). Spur, Iliamna, Redoubt... Read More

  • My car with CB "mag. mount whip" that I used in the 10M contest.

    01/27/2010 | N0JK

    Operated the 10M test from home Saturday evening. The band was slow. Some weak
    Es to WA, OR, MT around 2230 UTC, then a moderate Es opening to W1, W2, W3, VE3
    and W8 from 0240 - 0600 utc. The Geminds meteors seemed scarcer than 2008, only
    W0UA CO and W... Read More

  • FN20bd has plenty of horse-and-buggies passing by in Amish country. Quite a contrast to my rover.

    01/26/2010 | K1DS/R

    Best Rover run I have ever had, crossing 5 grids with 12 bands, and decent January weather here in the PA/NJ area. Packrats were out in force and everyone seemed to have more microwave gear working. The "Great White" rover van and gear worked without a... Read More

  • Key and Plug Assembly No.8 used during World War 2 by the British and Canadian armed forces.

    01/26/2010 | N8GU

    Too many footballs games competing with SKN this year. Poor band conditions were a problem
    as well. This year I QSOd with:
    NZ6Q
    NO5W
    K1YRW
    K3Y/4
    K4REB
    WB4KLI
    WB2KKI

    This year I used my World War Two Key and Plug Assemby No. 8. It was used by the Bri... Read More

  • Portable contest set-up in EM18, taken when it was a little warmer and the grass still green.

    01/26/2010 | N0JK

    A slow contest - I noted no tropo at all on 2M and up. No Es on 6M.

    I operated early Sunday morning from EM18 in the contest. Very cold and windy (gusts to 40 mph) at the "Cattle Pens" in the heart of the Flint Hills. My fingers almost froze getting th... Read More

  • Fog and drizzle in FM08

    01/26/2010 | K4GUN/R

    What a difference a year makes! Last year, my job and other obligations kept me very close to home for the January contest. This year, I was able to do a little travel, although not as much as I would have liked.

    We started near Philadelphia in FM2... Read More
