    Radio, too new. Antennas too broken. Plaques and certificates this year, too bad. Spent October getting ready for my trip to Nicaragua and CQWW instead of fixing antennas. Next year for me just like the Cubs. Read More

    I started this year's contest with a cold. I quickly found out that I had no voice to do a good effort for the contest, but I did work mostly west coast stations. I didn't hear any stations from the east coast or the southern states. I did hear one sta... Read More

    Thanks to Jim W0FF and Deloris K0RRO Glasscock for hosting me from their new QTH 30 miles west of St Louis near Union, MO. The last contest I'd operated from the Midwest was at Jim's previous QTH in south St Louis during the '82 CQ WW CW. I forgot ho... Read More

    99% of my HF contacts are CW with about 1% digital modes. The rest is SSB.. HI! So I rarely make a showing with the SSB Sweeps (I love the CW Sweeps). I had some time this past weekend to participate so I thought why not?

    I had a ball! It was fun t... Read More

  • The 192' tower to the left is the J-poles for 40 and 80 meters.  The 15 and 20 Meter tribanders are in the ruckus somewhere!

    Running 'Q' is always a love of the game... You know it won't be easy but you try it anyway.

    The bands were a bit off with the early night on the east coast, I was doing better on 40 and 80m the first eve. Next day 20m was packed to the hilt. I was ha... Read More

  • The new base insulated 80' tower complete with 60 buried radials so we can load it effectively on 160/80 meters also.

    11/17/2008 | WA7U

    Todd, WA7U, spent the summer putting up an 80 foot tower and a 'shorty-forty' Yagi to compliment his TH-7 tri-bander already on a second tower. We decided to test the new antenna farm out with a multi-one effort in Sweepstakes. Fred, KE7X, lead the way... Read More
