Going in, I had visions of 1000 Q's and a mult sweep; I only have one sweep in SS CW in 15 years. But no such luck....missed AK, NT and MAR.
About 5 hours into the contest I had 70 mults and was feeling like I might do it. But it was a little strange ... Read More -

Bittersweet and aggrevating at the same time. I'll be issued a new 1x2 call before the next contest, so this was probably my last test using KA8OKH (only call held since 1980). Set up station to try SO2R Saturday morning - nothing like preparing the... Read More

Through pure stupidity on my part, I fell about 5 feet onto my heels, putting myself in a wheelchair until at least 11/18. (Not radio related!)

This comment is for those ops in the CW SS who set their speed at 35 wpm and never deviated.
When you are driving on an icy road, do you still drive right at the speed limit? Sending at 35 wpm during two major solar flares makes as much sense as drivin... Read More -

With 8 hours to operate and my beams on the ground for the new
tower, the vertical and I had a great time on Low power. That
is until nature turned the lights out. After the flare, literally
the only signal I could hear from 3.5 Mhz to 30 Mhz was N2N... Read More
