    Only was able to operate on 10 meters and not for long as I had some commitments. Found I have RFI on CW on 20/15. I would say that the High Speed CW ops pretty much ignored my slower speed. Thus they missed out on a contact. I even called them 3 o... Read More

  • Here I am about an hour before the end of the contest.  Notice a couple of coffee mugs on the desk?  Coffee helps alot!!

    What a great time! 40M was my workhorse band this year. I did not do as good as good as previous years, but had a ton of fun. This year was the first year calling CQ and it was probably the most fun (and the scariest) for me yet in a contest. Thank... Read More

    11/04/2002 | K7IR

    WA0RJY (retired from contesting) and I decided to do a "fun" multi-op from the wilds of EWA at the fine station of K7IR in Moses Lake. This turned out to be a good decision - both fun-wise and score-wise. Jack and I have operated together from W7RM a... Read More

    A big TU to all who patiently struggled to copy my QRP/inverted V signal from EPA. K2 #2304 has a wonderful receiver, but it doesn't make 5 watts any louder.

    My second try at QRP, and did a little better than last year. It's become more a test of opera... Read More

    KB1FVL, KB1FSU, KB1GHC, and myself made the venture to the Kx1x operating QTH for the ARRL International DX Contest 2002. He operates a well organized station from there, and scores relatively high despite the fact that he has no amps. I had tugged a... Read More

  • 10/27/2002 | KB7DQH/ROVER

    Despite only partially recovering from a nasty cold, I headed out anyway... This is only the second time contesting as a rover, and the first time with all bands operating... Like the rest of the country, bad weather limited propagation... got 6 grids ... Read More

    I was only able to work a few hours of this contest, conditions seemed to be quite good with 144mhz showing good enhancement to the North West . There was quite a few stations on in the EN grids ,with my best DX in the 700 mile range on 2 meters.

    I wi... Read More

    10/22/2002 | WA6NIA

    What an introduction to microwave contesting! This was my first
    10 GHz and up contest and I spent both weekends on 10 GHz NB and
    managed to make several QSOs on 24 GHz SSB as well. What a thrill!
    My first two contacts on 10 GHz were at a distance of 7... Read More
