    I don't recall operating in this contest before and it is always on a weekend that is simply too busy to jump in. But on Sunday at about 1130 a.m. local time, and with 2.5 hours remaining in the contest, I had a short window to give it a go as a limite... Read More

    Had a lot of fun this year running an Icom 910H and a Create 5130-2n log periodic. Need to get a 220 transverter, just have FM. I am completely blocked towards W4WA, was able to work him by reflecting off of Atlanta on 432. Weather played havoc here in... Read More
