    Since I had only a short time to operate on Sunday afternoon, I thought it would be interesting to put the HTX-10 in the car and drive over to Washington, D.C. to provide a DC multiplier. With my 25 W and a magnet-mount antenna I made 34 contacts in m... Read More

    12/19/2002 | ON5ZO

    Ever since I closed the log of the 2001 edition I was looking forward to this year's ARRL 10m contest. I planned a bit more serious effort than last year's casual 'bandsweeping'.

    This year I started out well and equalled the best score I've ever
    amassed at the half way point. I pretty much stuck to my game plan
