In northern New England the 10 Meter Contest should have been renamed the "28 MHz Ice Sculpture Contest". A humongous ice storm walloped the area Thursday and Friday. I had about 1 1/4" of radial ice that decimated many antennas in the area. I had no A... Read More

I had just a few hours to operate so I was really surprised at the great condx to FL from my VA location. I first thought I had the date wrong and I was working the FL QSO party. Rig here was the trusty FT-817 providing 5 watts to a vertical multiwave... Read More

I used a 40 meter dipole at 20 feet with my IC-765 running 100 W. My signal was hard to fish out of the noise on Saturday. Kudos to these far-flung stations who pulled my signal out of a nearly dead band: W9XT, K4ZGB, W0ZA, K0FX, K1TO. A lump of coal t... Read More
