This was my third ARRL January VHF Sweepstakes and I spent some time to see in the past where I needed to improve.

Another January Sweeps is in the bag and the K2QO rover team (K2QO + W2TAU) has done it again. Our score was down from the last few years. The auditors are off today due to the holiday so our 88884 points is only a guess for now.
We spent a lot of ti... Read More -

We were an official rover this year! Last June we moved from Mississippi and Texas with three hams in the car during the contest, but did not turn in a log since my daughters and I were a family station and there were not category for us to submit und... Read More

Temps ranged 2 deg C - 6 deg C. A bit of snow noted atop Mt. Erie.
I operated from my 500 ft hilltop in Clinton (CN... Read More
