This beats raking leaves for fall cleanup, that's for sure! Instead I spent Saturday AM putting final tweaks on my 40 and 80 meter antennas. It seemed to all be worth it. I was pleasantly suprised to hear nice band conditions along with increased activ... Read More

Got my new 3 element SteppIR up on a home made hazer just in time to run it through the paces for 09 Sweepstakes. Very pleased with the results. 20 and 40 seemed to be the place to be this year with 15 opening on Sunday. Had a great time and look forwa... Read More

The XYL and I retired this year and relocated to North Carolina along with a "relocated" callsign (formerly WA2S in N.J.), so I was looking forward to Sweeps from the new QTH. Since I haven't yet put up a decent antenna, the trusty slingshot came out ... Read More
