  • 144MHZ Yagi Facing Atlanta & Florida

    01/25/2003 | W4EUH

    This January contest found me in the process of moving all my gear & antennae from my old "shack" over to my new home. I was able to get both towers up, but the extremely cold weather prevented me from getting the 222 & 432MHZ Yagis up. So, I was limit... Read More

  • Paul, W2TAU, digging for hardware or tools to raise the antennas.

    The conditions seemed very flat throughout the contest as my rover parter Paul, W2TAU and I roved through EN92, FN01/02/03/12/13. We put together a minimalist affair with a "stop and shoot" instead of "run and gun" approach.

    The highlights were watc... Read More

    This was my first SKN ever in 22 years of being licensed. I made a total of 5 contacts on 80 and 40 meters (and one on 15). This was a real enjoyable event and it was good to hear so many hams participating and all the vintage equipment. I used by back... Read More

  • N3AWS Rover antenna tower--NOT!

    01/25/2003 | N3AWS

    First time Rover operation.

    Due to miscommunication, we ended up inviting my daughter's school friend along for the weekend. Two adults, three kids, and a dog meant no room for setting up my Icom 706 MkIIG.

    I was limited to 2 meter FM with my Real... Read More

  • N2JPR - Straight Key Night 2003

    01/23/2003 | N2JPR

    I went downstairs a little after 7pm and warmed up the Knight twins. No, this year we had not made plans to go out for New Years Eve because of the flu. Well, I was healthy enough to crawl to the basement and pound out a few for SK night.

    I made my fir... Read More

    Well, another VHF SS in the books! I was quite thrilled to even be on the air this time around. First, thanks to all the Rovers who braved the worst the Northeast could dish out!

    I lost the first 4 hours of the contest (which usually equals death to a... Read More

    What follows is a statement of gratitude, not an occasion to brag. I thoroughly enjoyed this contest. Everything operated perfectly from 50 mhz through 3456 Mhz. I've never had things go so smoothly. The weather was a different story. A double dose of ... Read More
