    ARRL September VHF QSO Party


    Not much of a write-up this time. Not really much to write about! I should
    have realized that this contest would be a real struggle when everything was
    working with minimal hassle a week before the contest. A friend fou... Read More

    I had a full day of other commitments on Saturday and wasn't able to participate in the contest then. I was considering either setting something up at home for part of Sunday or getting out for a Single-Op (QRP) Portable operation. I was watching Hurri... Read More

  • Operating in DM75, south of Cline's Corner on Highway 285. I worked lots of DM65 stations here and a Colorado station in DM67.

    We had a good rove; great when you consider we had no enhanced propagation.

    Highlights include:

    1, I have now roved from every grid in NM, all 22 of them. A QSO in DM82 was the last one I needed. I set this goal a year ago when I first started roving.

  • New 903 and 2304 antennas ready for the Jan SS. (WB3IGR photo)

    09/17/2008 | WB3IGR

    As always I had a great time. Helped out my 1296 station by adding a pre-amp. Was hoping to be on 903 but DEM had not sent the transverter, so we are going to try in January. There was NO 6 meter opening but 2 meters was pretty good to 1 land from here... Read More

  • My tan Corolla with Tom (KC2CBA) & Dave (KC2ILK) on the right with their own contest setup.  Note the view in the distance and the nearby pagoda with food, bathrooms and air conditioning, always nice to have.

    What a great time I had this past weekend operating portable at State Line Lookout on the Palisades in NJ. At 564 feet over the Hudson River, the view was nice but propagation was not on my side. Equipment was a park on mount with 30 ft mast and yagi... Read More

  • <b>The Rover with a Vue (and it is a Vue)</b>

    09/16/2008 | K2QO/R

    This was a very challenging contest for many reasons. We found no tropo, e-skip or other enhancement to lend a hand. The day before the contest SpaceWeather.com suggested that we'd have some action due to a good solar wind, but nothing materialized. An... Read More
