    I've just returned to Case Western Reserve University as a physics graduate student, and it just so happened that this was my first year doing W8EDU's phone effort by myself. And wow, what a blast! I managed about 20 hours on the air between Saturday... Read More

    11/23/2009 | W6TAI

    It was interesting to work '09 SS--with a check of '09! Although it was intimidating to jump into such a big contest as a beginner, I found it enjoyable and addicting! Thanks to everyone who took the time to welcome me to amateur radio with words of ... Read More
