    Murphy is relentless. Apparently he caught wind of my Lance Armstrong aspirations to capture the SOLP VHF Sweepstakes top spot for a 7th year in a row. With surgical precision he threw down problem after problem until he was sure my station was not o... Read More

  • W0JX, chief op at W8GD. The old Valiant might chirp a bit but it gets out on 160 through 20.

    01/29/2007 | W8GD

    My third SKN. Two Qso's in 2005, 38 in 2006, and 41 in 2007. It's hard to get the count up because everyone wants to rag chew! My vote for most intersting Qso was K1Y. Worked KY1/4 and KY1/6 during the contest. My vote for best fist was N6NAX. I also w... Read More
