This was the first contest I've been in for years because I had taken a 7 yr. absence from ham radio. I decided to try QRP this year for the challenge of it, and greatly surpassed my expectations. I was mostly on 40 and 80 meters and in just over 10 ho... Read More

The Sunday solar flare was a first for me in a contest. I yammered with some locals for a while, it was a nice break but the conditions never really recovered up here in 'suffering sevens' land (near Seattle in WWA).

This was my first entry ever into CW Sweeps. I was semi terrified and not certain that this is what I wanted to do, but I did it anyway.
First things first, I'm no where near a serious contestor. Point in case I was operating on 80 meters and my wi... Read More -

It was a bit rough going this year with the solar flare on Sunday, elusive sections that I never contacted, and some real CW speed demons with the "pedal to the metal", but fun nonetheless.
Is it my perception (or my advancing age and sore ears) that... Read More -

As always, my goal going in to the contest was to work a clean sweep. I got serious about the contest 6 years ago and have only been able to manage a clean sweep every other year. Since I worked a double sweep in the CW and SSB contest last year, the... Read More
