Wow - another 160m test. Conditions here in Arizona was not as good as last year. Lots of noise after sunset but quited down by 0300z. Poor openings on Sunday morning. I'd like to thank all, especially in the SE USA (with your poor wx, bet you had some... Read More

So much for the "Sunny South" (SC). Lost my 160 antenna to ice on Thursday before the contest. Spent most of Friday getting an Inverted L up. I could not get the SWR below 3:1 but it seemed to play OK -- must have been the extra 4,000 feet of radial... Read More

First time operating 160M. My goal was to work about 20 contacts and see what the limit to my station is on this band. My setup includes an Alpha Delta DXLB+ inverted V dipole up about 35'. Did not think I could do much. Started out working the ban... Read More

As usual, what a blast. I have to admit I fell short of my goals to work the Sweep and beat last year's score... so much for continuous improvement. Thought I had this one licked... XYL "pre-tuned" to expect little of my smiling face for the weekend,... Read More

I was surprised what could be worked with 200 watts and a decent (for me) antenna with only 2 quarter-wave and 4 eighth-wave radials. Operated during the 5 hours before Midnight each night (10 hours total for the event). 8 DXCC entities (they sound so ... Read More

Enjoyed the contest! Bad WX kept the planned inverted L from going up, so I loaded the 75/40 meter dipole with 100W through the roller inductor tuner for the 8 hour (total) effort, 124 Qs, 35 mults, claimed 8680. Thanks to the ones with patience who ... Read More

Sorry I missed the contest this year. Spent Friday in the east coast snow storm. Was awake 20 hours straight when I got about an hour in the contest on Saturday. I hope there were some other stations in the Orange Section on this year. Next year I ... Read More
