  • The overall scene at the N7IR portable location on the Mogollon Rim in central Arizona.  Lots of tall Ponderosa pines, with large gaps between them fortunately.

    06/18/2006 | N7IR

    We traveled to our usual portable operating spot at 7332' on the Mogollon Rim in
    central Arizona. Other than a bit of wind the weather was perfect and typical for
    mid-June in the Arizona high country.

    The contest opened and closed with a bang out her... Read More

    Good old 6 meters! Saturday was the day for 6. It started in the east and worked to the south then south west.
    I was counting on 2 meters and 432 but not much activity on those two.
    This was the best contest I have ever been in.
    Lots of fun! I need to ... Read More

  • Port Washington Harbor late Saturday night

    06/18/2006 | K9ILT/R

    What a ride! We'll all be talking about this one for a while. We managed to squeeze 10 grids into a 653 mile trip, starting early and working late. We were the K9ILT/R 88 Degree Dash Team for the weekend, running north Saturday and south Sunday along ... Read More

  • My set-up changed as I moved into new grids.  The CM87 site had high winds, so had to use low antenna masts.

    06/17/2006 | K6JRA

    Had a great time roving through four local grids.

    Thanks to the six meter propagation openings I managed to contact more stations and grids than in any prior contest.

    Most memorable contact was across the country from CM97 to FN16 (however, it happ... Read More

  • The portable site in CN94.  I finally have everything set up.  The band opening on 6M caused me to start an hour and a half late.

    06/17/2006 | KI7JA

    This was a great contest with the openings to the East Coast, and great participation, this contest is one to remember. With the exception of some rig problems, this contest was exceptional.

    Running only 10w PEP in the QRP portable category, it is di... Read More

    The 6M band was hopping! Because of the opening(s) the
    previous days, I decided to see if I could tune my HF wire dipole to the "Magic Band". It worked, and I had a blast!
    Between the "Family Duties" I worked mostly FN Grids on Saturday, and (in a slo... Read More

  • Only sunshine of the contest, late Sunday from EN34

    06/16/2006 | W0ZQ

    For the last few years I have been using the ARRL June VHF contest as a shake down run for Rovermania (the ARRL UHF Contest). This year I was free both Saturday and Sunday, so I decided to do a semi-serious rove to activate the eight grids closest to... Read More
