  • THe VHF/UHF/SHF array.  For perspective, the 6M antennas have 50'-6" booms.

    September is a time for changes, however one really unwelcome change was the sudden cold front that turned off tropo propagation on Saturday and most of Sunday here in the Midwest. The contest started with lots of stations to work hoping for the good ... Read More

  • Late in the game, but fortunately my XYL came to the rescue with a camera - this shot is at the Fiesta Island location.

    I have always wanted to share the experience of Field Day and Ham Radio to a group of excited Cub Scouts ... well, since BOTH of my Sons are in Cub Scouts, and Dad has the Ham Radio Gear .. and it's the graduation / promotion weekend for the local Cub ... Read More

  • KFØQ rover in EN33 Southeastern Minnesota

    09/17/2006 | KF

    I see the scores in the more eastern parts of the US and have to think - gee those guys beat us by 10X or so ... do they really work that much harder than us here in the upper Midwest? Well probably not .. We work hard too with less population density... Read More

  • The new 4-stack of 432 halos... installed at 30 ft!

    09/16/2006 | W1TR

    I didn't get the tropo lift like I did in Sept 2005... Very scarce signals from the SW towards NYC ! I did have fun with the new 4-stack of halos on 432 though, but can't tell if it works better than the single halo I used last year! Oh well, there's ... Read More

  • New Antennas!

    09/16/2006 | K7SMA

    No openings to speak of but the new antennas sure did make a difference in my score this time. Found a bad Coax switch half way through the contest though, wish I had found it earlier! Seemed to be more local activity than usual.

    Well, we only operated Saturday this year due to scheduling conflicts with the operators. Although, this was our first time operating rover making the best out of battery power and "compromise" (you'll see what I mean in the photo comparison) antennas.... Read More

  • The 2 meter beams on Whitetop Mountain

    09/15/2006 | WK4P

    For the Sept VHF contest the team of Adam, WK4P and Kent, W4JJF, along with our XYLs Karen, KD4UKT and Lynn ascended the highest road and 2nd highest peak in Virginia, Whitetop Mountain. As we headed up the mountain on Friday afternoon the weather was... Read More

  • The auxilliary Microwave setup was a 903, 1.2, 2.3, and 3.4 GHz looper all mounted on a short tower with no preamps and a short run of big coax into the shack. We hoped to use this to work a few locals while the big array was "busy"

    09/15/2006 | K1WHS

    We started our multi multi effort from FN43MJ with N2CEI, W1SD, K1DY, WA1T, K9PW, WZ1V, N1DPM, KU2A, K0DI and visitors KA2LIM and WW1M all in attendance. N1LBI showed up and was the cook again and did a great job with his new propane fired griddle for ... Read More
