    This was my first CW contest. It was real fun to be able to work everyone. I have never heard so many CW stations on 160 meters before.

    I was suprised to be able to work a stations as far as Colorado.

    My setup here is a dipole antenna that is laid ... Read More

    Since I didn't earn enough points to place first in any category, I may as well be the FIRST to make a comment!

    In more than 31 years of being a licensed ham, this was my very first 160 Meter contest and I had fun. It was on a whim that I even got on ... Read More

    Not as much reaching into the deep west DX this year as last, but fun all the same. However, next time I'll go looking for buzzing street lights a couple weeks in advance. Local QRN cut me down to just two log pages! Read More

    We sure had a crappy time working stations around these parts this year. This is my second SS ever -- the first being last year. I spent most of last year on 10M. Squeezed out two SFL stations on 10M this year only. Never worked a single VE station... Read More

    My good friend, Jim, K1IR, had spent a good part of this past off-season rebuilding his station, moving from 25G to 45G, adding stacks for Europe, and building a new shack. I operate with Jim in a M/S for the CQ and ARRL contests. Jim offered his st... Read More

  • F2TU's 7.8 meter dish for 432/1296/2300/5760/10000 MHz

    11/27/2003 | F2TU

    Excellent contest, but alas not made to encourage the bands above the 1296 MHz.

    It was created 26 years ago, I took part in it already. At that time,
    there was approximately 10 stations qrv 1296, and nobody above (?).
    times changed much, but not the ... Read More

    November Sweepstakes was a huge success for upcoming amateurs. This year the Kendallville Contesters took their Field Day Equipment (Yeasu Ft-920, 30ft Portable Tower, Cushcraft A3S Tribander and their 80-Meter Off-Center-Fed Dipole) and traveled to H... Read More
