    Conditions were great here this year, & I had my usual annual "fix" of Topband doings!

    It's almost inconceivable that I've been at this thing now, off & on, since (I believe) 1974-75: back then I ran a Johson Ranger-1 transmitter & a Hallicrafters S-7... Read More

    Conditions were very good this year. Operating time was limited by my work schedule, sniffle. I had a good time in the contest. Let us think about a rule change to prohibit USA/CAN stations from running in the "DX window." USA/CAN stations observed run... Read More

    The Montana mountain cabin was unavailable this year due to renovation construction, so no 130' helium balloon vertical, but WA7U invited me to use his shack. Wow, just 2 miles from my own bed, and indoor plumbing besides!

    Thanks to everyone for the contacts in SS Phone! Had a great time!

    Started on 20m and as a Low Power entry I am not sure that was a good decision, 20m was very crowded! My 20m antenna is pretty high for a US contest, and I have been remiss in getting... Read More

    Our quest for the sweeps was to work'm all .. .. (you know .. .. earn the coffee cup) and increase our scores somewhat. We managed to increase the score a bit .. .. and got a sweep!! The last section was the NT and we worked him on 15 meters with a ... Read More

    Someday we are going to figure out how to get a Sweep from Kansas! Thought that a Gap Titan and two dipoles (at right angles to each other) for 40 and 80 would do it. Guess not! Was very pleased that 15 was open but still have trouble working throug... Read More
