    Planned on running this contest for months -- since the January contest. Unfortunately, like January, my opeating was somewhat diminished because of having to referee soccer games on Saturday. Additionally, the majority of Sunday was accounted for by... Read More

    Again, it was an absolute blast. I completely changed up my rover station and it really paid off. I ran essentially the same route I did in January and doubled the number of QSOs. The openings on 6 meters helped a lot, but the new beam antennas and ... Read More

    My second entry into this contest (2007 effort was a last minute QRP setup with 6 meter dipole and a "el cheap-o" beam for 2m/432).
    Saturday conditions where not stelar, but not without a surprise or two.

    What started out as a test of station upgrades soon escalated into a wild and memorable contest event. I was finally ready to turn on the transceiver at 2300Z only to discover that it was near the end of an aurora opening. I picked up 5 AU stations via... Read More
