  • L-R WY7SS Ops: Dwayne WY7FD, Katie WY7KRA, Leo WY7LL, Elaine KE7TWF, Jim KB7TGR

    11/25/2009 | WY7SS

    We put together a local team for our phone efforts. Dwayne and I were hoping to hit 1500 QSOs and we exceeded our goal once again and apparently in the process broke the existing WY record - needless to say we were pretty psyched!

    One thing that reall... Read More

  • Jack Coffey sits in on a 40 meter session at W4LT ARRL SS SSB 2009.  Look for us next kids day?

    11/25/2009 | W4LT

    Back when I was a novice, SS was the first contest I competed in (FD is not a contest, right? hi hi!). Come a long way from a HW16/HG10 and a dipole. In all this time, the sweep has eluded me, but this year, finally, A SWEEP!

    My rate was running l... Read More

    Having been bitten by the QRP bug I have worked the last 2 ARRL 10M Contests running QRP. I decided to try my hand at QRP in this year's SS. My goal was to try to make 100 QSOs in 40 sections. I didn't really know how realistic this would be given the ... Read More

  • Yvette, <b>KB3HTS</b> appears to have logged one of the last sections she needed for her Clean Sweep from <b>W8EDU</b> <i>-- W8WTS photo</i>

    11/25/2009 | W8EDU

    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

    My goal for 2009 was to exceed 200 QSOs and if possible make it to 250. This year proved to be my best Phone Sweepstakes yet, had 314 QSOs, worked 73 sections, and a claimed score of 45,844 points. Sections missed were: NLI, WPA, SC, VI, AR, NL, NT.

    Bought a place on Caroga Lake this past summer. My wife and I are planning to live there when our youngest graduates from high school in 2011. I've been building a station there as it's a place where I can run a legal limit amplifier without annoying... Read More

    Last year I set my goal at 150 QSOs for the 2009 contest. That was under the assumption that I would be working 20 meter QRP from KY again. As it turns out I was in LAX with a somewhat balky TS-520 and an antenna wrapped around my apartment walls. I... Read More

  • Rich, KR7W at the controls, running 'em!

    11/24/2009 | W7DK

    W7DK Has not been too active on the contest scene lately, so some of us have decided to put the "Mighty 'DK!" back on the air for contests, usually ARRL sponsored ones, because we go way back with the ARRL.

    Our club has been continuously operating ever... Read More
