  • 100 A N5SMQ 91 VA ????? Not LA ???? Yes VA it don't snow like this in LA .

    01/17/2003 | N5SMQ

    Didn't do too well this year. We moved to Va. mountains from La. swamps in June and didn't have time to set up good antennas so operated from the truck on the mountain top, and it SNEAUXED (snowed) Most I have ever been in, still had a ton of fun. Hopw... Read More

  • K1YPP shack and some of the gear.

    01/16/2003 | K1YPP

    My goal this year was to make the QSO with each station last as long as possible. I wanted to learn as much as possible about the operator on the other end. I'm not a contester, I really enjoy the QSO itself, quality, not quantity.

    This operating event... Read More

    This was the first time I did SKN for quite a few years. I was hoping to get a little more practice before going on the air, but jumped in any way. I made only one contact, Joe K0IVK, and it was as enjoyable as I remember my previous SKNs. I used an... Read More

    I have just returned from a month in the Philippines with a side trip to Bangkok. I carried my Kenwood TS-50, AT-50, and PS-40 in the little carrying case that Kenwood designed for that purpose which I placed in a larger Pelican case with some clothin... Read More

  • The XYL, the kids, the antennas: all of them would like more attention...

    01/14/2003 | VE2OWL

    Once upon a time, many many years ago, ... well maybe not that many years ago since it was in January of 1989, I had this idea of participating in the ARRL RTTY ROUNDUP contest. I had been licensed for about a year and this mode would be all new stuf... Read More

  • K9LA at the key.

    01/13/2003 | K9LA

    I had a great time in SKN 2003.

    I used an old Ranger II and Drake 2B (my General station back in the early '60s) with a J-38 key.

    I enjoyed working KC2DMH with his DX-40 and HQ-110.

    The accompanying photo shows me at the rig.

    Had to go single radio in this one as the Icom-745 is about to give up the ghost.
    Aside from that and my logging problem with state and VE mults, all went well.
    10M was kinda disapointing from this location but the other bands seemed in good
    shape.

  • LU5FEL, LU1FKR, LU1FGE, LU5DX and LU1FAM

    01/12/2003 | LT1F

    Low line tension resulted in reduced power output. The antennas
    made by LU1FJ, did a great job and compensated the lack of output
    power. We enjoyed some of the off time listening to contesting "monster" stations: ZD8Z, ZW5B, ZX5J,D44TD,and many others... Read More
