  • My operating postion. Yaesu FT-857 for 6m and 70cm and the Icom 746PRO for 2m.

    This contest gave me a chance to try out my new beams, a 4ele for 6m and a 7ele for 2m, and an amp for 2m. 2m proved to be the best band for me yielding 50 Q's. 6m wasn't so good, giving only half as many on 2, 24 Q's. Plus I ended up with S6 noise lev... Read More

  • Left to right from atop Signal Peak, near John Wayne Airport, CA (DM13co): Tom, KI6GOA's stack of KU4B two meter loops; Pete, N6ZE; and Tom, KI6GOA/6. N6ZE/R briefly visited KI6GOA's QRP Portable Station operation on Sunday afternoon. 75 mile visibility prevailed & poor tropo conditions prevailed also! (Les Wiley photo)

    01/20/2009 | N6ZE/ROVER

    Pete, N6ZE, entered the January 2009 ARRL VHF Sweepstakes Contest as a Low Power Rover Class Entry. No, I did not set any scoring records, but I experienced a novel 2 day drive around Southern California. I only operated in 4 grids: DM-03, DM-04, DM-13... Read More

  • <b>K2QO and W2TAU in FN12gw</b>

    01/20/2009 | K2QO/R

    This may be the first January contest where we did not work any DX. The usual surprise Caribbean QSO on 6m never happened. Neither did the usual contacts on 2M into ME. Propagation was very much in the tank, especially on the microwaves. Granted it was... Read More

    I had a great time participating in the contest as a low power station. This year I added 1296 MHz and 903 MHz and I just got 903 MHz up a few days before the contest date. I observed that there were not the band openings in past contests. I worked a b... Read More

  • One of the 6M antennas on the Ground

    01/20/2009 | K2DRH

    I approached this January VHF Contest with dread. The station was working well except for an intermittent on 6M that worked fine on transmit and would give me a normal SWR, but would attenuate the receive signal about 50% of the time until I transmitt... Read More

  • I did have fun !!!

    01/20/2009 | N8QE

    6 & 2 meter band conditions were really poor for the entire contest. On top of that we had sub zero temperatures, and lots of snow on the ground causing frozen rotor complaints by many. Lots of local Northeast Ohio activity was there. I didn't detect o... Read More

  • In this photo that was taken on Sunday, you can see the three-element Two Meter Yagi that is mounted on a tripod on top of the car roof and the three-element Six Meter Yagi that is inserted into an umbrella stand that is located in front of the car. Note the large snow flakes that was coming down at the time!

    01/20/2009 | WB2AMU

    For the week prior to this year's event, we had a significant cold spell and some snow here in Long Island in grid FN30. I was glad to see that the temperatures moderated a bit to 20 degrees by Saturday for my QRP portable effort on a nearby 250 foot ... Read More

  • 01/20/2009 | KC2QZF/R

    KC2QZF/R worked as a limited rover in Western NY Section. We traveled to 6 grids and worked several additional. Thanks to Gary N2WLS my co-pilot, 2M op, and ace logger who managed to keep up thru a couple of (almost) pile-ups. Thanks to Kevin K9KVN for... Read More
