With the help of my lovely bride Shirley we put up the temporary 40/20 meter antennas at our place in Rhode Island. The feedpoint is at about 26 feet.

This year I did things a little differently. My first SS was 1968, when I made 81 QSOs.
This year I had the loan of a Kenwood TS-940SAT (quite a change from my 1968 DX-20/VF-1, thank you, W3RV), so I built a keying interface, pulled a Win98 PC off the... Read More -
