For a QRP single band guy, it was rough. My last SS was 2006, when I barely got 100 QSO's. This year I only made 80. Conditions were quite different on 20 meters this year. New England didn't start coming in until Sunday afternoon. New York and Pe... Read More

QRP Phone sure was hard for SS. One guy would complement me on a 20 over S9 Signal. The next guy would never answer my call no matter how many times I answered his CQ. Thats the way it goes for us who surf on the edge of the MUF. Many thanks to the gu... Read More

TenTec OMMI VI+ 100w, Triband and dipoles. It was a weird SS. I normally miss Quebec, NWT and AK. This year I got QC fairly early and it seemed to take forever to get OK. I got MB and NL and then was down to OK, NWT and AK. I decided to quit lookin... Read More
