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 -

This was the coldest January VHF test I can remember, with temperatures well into the minus digits at night and mostly single digits during the days. Propagation indicators were dismal and the cold brought out noise sources Ive never even heard before... Read More

As I have done for the past ten years, I operated as QRP portable from a hill in Long Island in Grid FN30 for the January VHF contest.
