    Just relaxing holiday activity to give few points to
    stations from NA.

    Only K2/100 and simple HM mono-band vertical antena
    made of fibreglass fishing rod and wire.

    During daytime horrible QRN 599+10 produced by some
    sparking engine. During night time... Read More

    First time as DX in the ARRL DX CW contest. Operated from Octavio's QTH (YN2N) near Granada, Nicaragua http://www.YN2N.com The pileups were huge and I had a ton of fun. I'll be back again as the warm weather was most enjoyable (mid 80s F) for this Chic... Read More

    One contest with 3 different call signs

    The ARRL DX Competition is one of my favourites. If only the atmospheric and ionospheric conditions in this part of the world could be beneficent, this contest would be real fun.
    This year I was curious to check ... Read More

  • W3EF the morning after the contest -- back in the chair!

    02/23/2008 | W3EF

    Wow, what a contest. As W3LPL said on 3830 a moment after it ended,
    "Welcome to contesting at the bottom of the sunspot cycle". For a while there
    it seemed like even 15m was never going to make it to Europe -- and this with 8
    elements on my only full... Read More

    We (UA3DJG, UA3ATS, RA3WND) operated under UA3DJG call-sign during the second moon window in the 3d tour of 2007 ARRL EME contest. It was a short-term expedition to snow-covered fields near Moscow. The mother-nature endows us with a pretty nice weather... Read More

    I know I haven't got a proverbial snowball's chance in Aruba of ever winning this thing, but boy-o-boy, what an absolutely great excuse to get on 160-meters & work nothing but DX stations...!

    I've always liked the low-band / mono-band thing with my inf... Read More

    02/22/2008 | EA8ZS

    The contest was very funny, but without conditions. 10m band was complete close, we can only hear some south america station calling. TNX to all for the QSOs and many thanks to EA8ZS for give us his station. Read More

  • ARRL Contest Branch Manager Sean Kutzko, KX9X, at his Connecticut apartment QTH. The feedpoint for his indoor loop is at the top of the photo. Using QRP power and the indoor wire loop, he was still able to work 31 DXCC countries in the contest.

    As the ARRL Contest Branch Manager, I obviously enjoy operating contests. I live in an apartment five minutes from HQ, so I have access to the ARRL Employees club station W1HQ for serious operating.

    However, there's just nothing to substitute for bein... Read More
