    It's truely amazing how well the G5RV does NOT hear the Far East. However, it can pick up QRP stations in the U.S. and Europe, and QRO stations in all of U.S., Africa, Europe, VP6DX,VP8, VK9, VU, VK, ZL , and Antarctic stations. I didn't have time this... Read More

    02/17/2008 | YO9FRJ

    That was my 6th ARRL EME Contest participation and the 4th in this team formula. YO9FRJ team was composed by YO9FRJ (ex. YO4FRJ) Adrian and YO9AFE Joe.
    We operated only the 144 MHz band after YO9FRJs EME antenna system changes since August 2007. I d... Read More

  • Raising antennas in DM83. I had hoped to operate from the mesa in the background, but could not find open access to the top. Note the wind generators on the top of the mesa.

    For the January contest I decided to head south. Winter in northern NM is unpredictable; it can be cold as Canada or warm as Florida. The south is mild and more predictable.

    After a rocky start, we settled down and had a good contest. At least for J... Read More

    This year was something different for me as I never rover during a contest event, yet I was doing it. I started at home CN85 on the N. Oregon Coast and drove straight through to DM79 in the denver area. I worked primarily 144 Mcs, as it is my band of c... Read More

  • In EN-43tq on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Knocked off early to go watch the Packer game. <a href="http://www.w9fz.com/janvhf08/index.html">W9FZ/R Travelogue</a>

    02/04/2008 | W9FZ/R

    It was one of the most challenging contests I've ever been in on account of the cold. Minus 18 was the coldest and three degrees above was the warmest. Radio dials did not want to turn in the morning and the LCD displays would not display.

    I have a c... Read More

    Last year, I operated with a two-tube crystal-controlled 40m transmitter that I had built over Christmas vacation. This year, I decided to build a companion receiver. What I didn't count on was that building a receiver is about five times more complica... Read More
