    In spite of it all (or lack of "all") I had a blast! This is the first time that I ever submitted a log to a contest. I think that Lousiana had about 8 log entries. Of those eight, the winner was a QRP station that kicked our butts! It appears that ... Read More

    Another great contest. The six meter opening right at the beginning of the contest sure was nice. Unfortunately I missed some normally easy grids on all the bands. I was very pleased with my 903 and 1296 results. As always had a lot of fun and appreci... Read More

    So this was it. This was my first serious attempt at contesting and I had a blast. After months of planning, plotting, modifying, scouting, upgrading and annoying everybody I came into contact with, the event went off largely as planned. I made a gi... Read More

    Did not get to operate much but had a great time. I hooked up my just finished Small Wonder Lab SWL-20 with my chrome plated Chinese straight key and had a ball. My first contact with the 2 watt QRP rig and my ground mounted Butternut vertical was NP3C... Read More

    W3SO is a LM station in WPA Section, FN00 grid.

    The rates were slow during the first football game but during half time we had QSOs and they resulted in passes. Where were the end-of-contest QSOS? We only had two QSOs in the last hour.

    Thanks to W4XP f... Read More

    Modest station, casual op from 144-1296 mHz. During poor condx like this I wish stations would be willing to try terrestrial tropo digi modes like MFSK, PSK31, and JT65!

    Hope the few that found me way up here in EN74hd got good use outa the multiplier.... Read More

    Started the contest late and heard I missed an opening to Florida on 6 meters. Conditions were pretty flat with what I was hearing. Wasn't hearing to much to the northeast except FN20, FN10 and FM29 but was able to pick up FN31 late in the contest th... Read More

    Activity was down somewhat in Georgia but the contest was still a lot of fun. Just got the station set up at my new house days before the contest. After five years in a row operating out of 1/4 acre lot at only 600'ASL the new place at 1000'ASL was fan... Read More
