This was my best 10 GHz contest ever. The second Saturday was the highlight with QSOs between FN03DF and FN44IG (Mount Washington) with N1JEZ and K1LPS at 687 Km. I nearly completed with VE3FN on Mount Tremblant but signals faded. The next DX was be... Read More

I didn't have a lot of time to participate during the first weekend but I managed a few hours on Saturday morning from a hilltop in EN50rl. I worked my best DX in the contest from there - with W0ZQ in EN42cq.
I drove up to Two Rivers, Wisconsin on the... Read More
