    This year's SS Phone was a low point score-wise for me. It seemed band conditions were constantly changing and I had to ask/send a lot more repeats than in past years. Sure shows you what poor band conditions will do.

    However, it was nice to see a ... Read More

    This was my third year (1B) at this location with an R5 vertical (20/15) and trap dipole (40/80) on CW. It was also the most frustrating year due to band conditions (410 QSOs) but field day is always wonderful! The site is about 60 miles northwest of F... Read More

    Had a good time, nice scenery in West Texas...over 1,000 miles traveled, and no major glitches with the minivan or equipment!

    This was my first SS using SO2R. I have a FT-920 and Elecraft K2 with an A4S at 50 ft, 40M dipole at 50 ft and a G5RV for the K2.

    I had a great start on 20 and then things just slowly died throughout the night. I had a lot of power line noise on 15M S... Read More

    My first ARRL contest and boy was it a fun time. I helped operate a kids club station and they really gave me an education. Some very intelligent and well spoken kids able to work a pile up. Very impressive to watch and an honor to be a guest op. T... Read More

    This effort was a mixed bag for me. Saturday started out painfully slow and I just couldn't get "in the groove". I was so frustrated that when I QRT'd for the night....I made plans to attend a hamfest Sunday mornning rather than get up and contest. ... Read More

  • My wife thinks my hamshack desk is a mess???!!!

    11/18/2003 | KN3A

    This was my first contest after a 7 year absence from ham radio. I decided to run SSB at QRP. What a surprise it was to me that I worked 50 ARRL sections and logged over 150 stations. I really want to thank everyone for their patience with QRP stations... Read More

  • Minimal RFI worries at Alan's farm Multi-2 QTH, and lots of room for towers, 4 squares and Beverages.
