    Location, location, location (or antenna, antenna, antenna).

    Operated portable from my place in the Adirondack Mountains in Cold Brook, NY.

    With only 2 neighbors, no man made noise and at 1400 ft, this is the first time I really got to "participate".

  • W1TR 160 meter ground plane

    12/05/2005 | W1TR

    On Friday night, 160 was all lit up like 20 meters during the day. Stations were calling from Europe to Carribean to Seattle / Vancouver to Los Angeles and the Midwest... too bad QRN got us on Saturday night with an approaching snow storm. The band w... Read More

    The Case Amateur Radio Club station, W8EDU, at Case Western Reserve University was active on SSB as well as CW this year, hosting a M/S effort in ARRL SS SSB.

    The emphasis in this contest was to provide some exposure to contesting to operators that do... Read More

  • K6EI by his soon-to-be-upgraded 55-foot sky hook

    12/04/2005 | K6EI

    K9DX in Illinois was S9 here in SCV, but my lowly 5 watts could never get a response. I guess its time to replace my antenna.

    Suggestion for next year: Everyone sends 599 as part of the exchange -- why not update the rules and substitute power level... Read More

  • Don't try this at home and keep the power down.

    I love this contest. I love 160. But what do you do when you live on the third floor of a no antennas allowed building -- especially for 160? Friday night I cobbled together a short vertical with a base tuner and put it on my stealth balcony railing ... Read More

  • Early in the contest.

    In the November Sweepstakes last year, I could be heard as one of the K squared team using the call KS0P. This year it was just me because the other half of the K Squared team is in Europe. My name is Kristin, KC0INX, I'm 17 years old, and this was m... Read More

    My first 160 meter contest. Spent about 8 hours operating between Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday and Sunday mornings. Band condx were better than I expected. The K9AY loops worked really well - I even worked K9AY on them. I finished with... Read More

  • Not a bad location for a VHF contest either!

    12/04/2005 | KB7Q

    I turned this year's 160 meter contest into a mini-Dxpedition! I have access to a cabin high in the mountains just north of Yellowstone Park now. The four miles of dirt road climbs to 7,000' and requires chains on all tires and four wheel drive. The pa... Read More
