  • New array on 180 foot SSV tower.

    09/08/2008 | K3TUF

    I was not able to get on for much of the contest, and the new tower is not complete. Spent time working on the tower.
    Hopefully when all of the work is done we'll finally be above the trees with 903-24g.
    September will have 903-3456 on the new tower, ... Read More

  • Working KM0T (EN13vc) from EN44ad at 362 km. The dish on the far right is 6 watts on 10GHz, the middle dish is 2 watts on 5.7 GHz.  These two systems share the same 2m IF rig that is mounted on the 10 GHz tripod along with a A/B coax switch to switch between the two.  Note the BIG corn.

    Last years UHF contest was wet and cold, I lost my keyer to water shorting it out, and I ran with the car heater turned on for most of the time. And oh ya, propagation, well, it was a challenge. What a difference a year makes ! This year, although ... Read More

  • 09/01/2008 | KU2A

    The August UHF contest was just a baseline from this new QTH. A long extension cord, antennas on the 2nd floor and a leaky roof made it tough to put in a substantial effort. Most of the cabling needed for 903/2/3/5/10GHz never surfaced from the rubbl... Read More

  • K7RJ MICRO POINTING ADJUSTER FOR POINTING MODULATED LASER POINTER FOR LONG DISTANCE OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS

    08/22/2008 | K7RJ

    UTAH has a small, but enthusiastic microwave presence.
    I operated the morning of August 17, 2008 from a mountain ridge in the Utah Wasatch mountains at about 9000 ft. elevation, which is about 5000 feet above the average terrain.
    One contact was to an... Read More

  • My 10 GHz SSB station set up at DM49du.  (Yes, the transverter is, in fact, a bunch of modules screwed down to a piece of plywood:  I really do need to put it in a box someday...)

    08/22/2008 | KA7OEI

    Microwave activity can be sparse in Utah, but contests like this one give people an excuse to drag their gear out into the wilds.

    While there wasn't exactly a pileup, there was about as much activity on 10 GHz this time as there ever has been: Bryan, ... Read More

  • Joe K3TYE operating KB7NIE in DM42pk making contact with Chuck W7CS in DM42oo

    08/21/2008 | KB7NIE

    For the first contest weekend Jeff KI5WL, Joe K3TYE, and I traveled up Mt. Lemmon outside Tucson AZ and made contacts with Chuck W7CS in Oracle AZ, and Steve KJ7OG on Sentinel Peak, west of Tucson. Read More

  • Cozy EOC Operating

    08/20/2008 | W6PWT

    The Corona Norco ARC, W6PWT, spent Field Day operating in the Norco Fire Department EOC, where the radio room is quite small. I have been involved with the last 30 Field Days, but this one had one big difference. Operating elbow to elbow with another... Read More
