    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

    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

    I had another event this weekend so I could only put in a few hours here and there, so I operated a little mobile and a little from home with stealth antennas. 20m was wide open to Japan driving home from work friday. Worked over 100 QSOs total on 4 ba... Read More

    I thought conditions average considering where we are in the solar cycle. Made almost 200 QSO's running 4 watts with an HW-9. Antennas were a Butternut HF5B and a Carolina Windom 80 Short.
    80 was a big disappointment. Didn't hear much on 10. I did wor... Read More

    Winter was tough on my antennas, the wife was sick, and conditions really weren't that great. If it wasn't for the fact that I love this contest, I wouldn't have even been around!
