    I have to agree with you all: conditions weren't to good, but during the afternoon onwards it improved; 15 and 20 were the bands to be!

    Only problem? No logging program yet but the manual one is almost finished; just the points and multipliers need to ... Read More

  • This is the operating position, before the contest.

    07/14/2002 | K8AJS

    Somewhat different from last year; the thought at the beginning of the contest was "Where's EU?" Conditions here were really poor until almost sundown on Saturday, when 20 meters finally opened up and I was able to work more easily across the pond. My ... Read More

    Having yagi's AND a DX Hawk is highly unfair.

    We, ZS4BS and ZS4MS, had a great time working the IARU HF Championship and giving out SARL. Just wish the guys would turn their antennas down this way every now and again.

    QSL for the 2001 and 2002 contest goes via ZS4BS. Read More

  • "DX Hawk" at work at WA4ATJ.

    07/14/2002 | WA4ATJ
