    Thanks to all of the DX stations who had patience with me this weekend. I had a bad cold and couldn't even say my callsign right because of my "stuffy nose" and fever. I felt terrible but kept plugging along. I had a wonderful time! Read More

    This was my second ARRL DX contest and I did 3x better than last year. I was confined to 15 and 10 meters because I run loops for those bands.
    Thanks for all the Japanese stations for responding to my cq's late Saturday night. Loads of fun!!! Read More

    I like to thanks all who worked YV5OHW on 80 meters, this was my first CW contest and I was very thrill to be able to work 57 states and provinces. My Claimed score of 166K exceeds my expectations and encouraged me to come back next year.
