    On Saturday I hooked up the TS-120S to a mag-mounted Hustler with a 10M resonator and a tuner, then sat in my van with an extension cord running to an exterior AC outlet at the Fire Station. It was cold and windy in the AM, cold and wet in the PM. For... Read More

    What a great learning session!!! This weekend really taught me the value of "patience, Grasshopper." Friday was a heartbreaker as I was expecting the band to open up but only ran 14 contacts, mostly in CA. Saturday I didn't play at all until late bu... Read More

    We chose 13cm and 10 GHz for the contest this year. 23cm was not ready so far for transmitting. Weather was fair in both parts with no high winds that could have forced us to stop operation. We made a number of contacts on both bands but activity has b... Read More
