    This year was my second attempt at the ARRL November Sweepstakes CW.

  • AC0GI at the operator's position.

    It was a busy weekend, so I was only able to operate for 104 minutes running 5 watts QRP into a 100 foot random wire on 40 & 80 meters strung in my backyard mostly Saturday evening. Contacts were rough as the big guns dominated the contacts being made,... Read More

    I was worried that I might miss CW SS this year. In late August, I broke my ankle--first time I ever broke a bone. And in my case, not only did the repair take surgery, it also required a lengthy
