  • 6, 2, and 432 loops

    06/17/2008 | KB3KSP/R

    This was my 1st atempt at vhf contesting let alone roving. The RV broke down so I was grid locked in FM-18. Consequently I only made 24 or so contacts on 6, 2, and 432. Read More

    Ah the thrill of Roving! I was ready this year with my 6, 144, and 432 Mhz yagis high atop 30 foot push up poles, the SUV fully unpacked, setup and ready to activate FM28 from the highest point on the local horizon of the ultra flat Delaware beaches! I... Read More

  • W4AMP Station

    06/17/2008 | W4AMP

    Did a six meter only entry this year and had a great time. Major openings both days, rare grids galore. Finally got to use my Yaesu FT2000 on six and it did a great job. Six sounded like 20 at times, the filtering came in handy. See y'all next year. Read More

    Was not expecting much in the way of propagation this time around. Certainly no Es but the weather patterns have been odd lately so hoped for some tropo. Thought if we made 30 contacts over the weekend we'd be lucky. Sept. 2007 was a total failure and ... Read More

    Nice conditions from EN45. I just casually operated throughout the contest...had many other projects to divide my time between. Coolest contact was with K5TR on 2M in EM00 for almost 1100 miles with my 50 Watts! Most fun contact was about a 15 mile ... Read More

    I was expecting good contacts during this 2008 VHF QSO Party.
    I was able to work only local stations until Sunday whe... Read More

  • 06/16/2008 | N3AWS

    My software malfunctioned and counted some QSOs twice, although it summed the multipliers correctly. One hundred QSOs, one point each, and 56 mults for a score of 5,600. Operated 10 hours.

    I operated QRP (5 watts) entering the single-op portable cate... Read More
