    Just a quick 2 hr effort with my good friend and ace CW op Tim, WB2KAO. Had an elevated noise floor from time to time, probably due to some cycling street lights that we've been fighting in the neighborhood. Had a good time, worked some old friends, ... Read More

    My first real operation on 160 ever. I designed a loaded inverted Vee and managed to get it hung by 2245Z on 12/06, Friday evening. Talk about last minute preparation! Promised the XYL I'd wait until the kids were in bed to sit down at the radio so I... Read More

    The WX Friday night was freezing fog and I had to go out every 30 minutes and whack my antennas with a rubber mallet to knock off the ice. The ice build up would short out the antennas. Going out in the cold air did help keep me awake most of the nig... Read More

  • A slightly lumpy, single-turn, shielded loop of 1/2" CATV hardline sits atop a lesser tower at N0AX. This is a dual-band loop and can be used on 80-meters, as well. A reed-relay in a switchbox at the base of the loop selects the appropriate tuning trimmer capacitor to resonate the loop. DC for the relay is sent through the feedline.

    My part-time effort was nevertheless a success as I was able to reduce some of the QRN and BC QRM that has been a plague since early this year. The photo shows the receiving loop that went up on Friday in time for some badly-needed low-noise signal ga... Read More

    Five contacts, 40 points isn't exactly an impressive claimed score--is there a certificate for "lowest score, worldwide"?. But what's significant is that those five contacts roughly *doubled* the number of CW contacts I've made in my 33-year ham caree... Read More

  • The inv-L runs about 3' from the tower. That's not Dawg X-ray but Patch. (on the left.........)

    No operation Friday night because I was part of the team at N0A, National Wx Service in Goodland KS 35 miles west operating Skywarn Recognition Day. I came home fatigued at 9PM Saturday but took a couple passes up the band. Then I woke at 4:30 Sunday m... Read More

  • K5AEA Hard at it Saturday evening, with DK1CM helping to pull them out of the noise.
