    I started with my old Heathkit DX-60--B and National NC-88 receiver and made 2 contacs on 80 before midnight. My apologies to Joel, W3ZT for losing him in the QRM with such a broadbanded receiver. The remaining QSOs were made the next day on 40 where t... Read More

    With 109 QSOs, my goal of at least one hundred contacts was met. I've done better but am always quite pleased how my quarter wave whip performs poked the window of my 5th floor apartment. Used FSK which allowed my rig to use the Twin Peak Filter and th... Read More

    Had fun withStraight Key Night.  Hadn't been in the air in months.  Ended up using the Kenwood 440 s instead of the TenTec Century 21; I think I was listenting on the wrong side of zero beat and missed anyone trying to call.  However, the J38 key worke... Read More
