This is the first ARRL 160m Contest I've done since at least 2000. Back then, a move to a different apartment made it almost impossible for me to erect an antenna that would put out any kind of a signal on 160. Throw in hard times that kept me QRT fr... Read More

This was my first try at a 160 meter contest. I wasn't expecting much from my postage stamp sized city lot, but found that the 80 meter inverted L would load on 160. So despite the antenna being far from ideal and being surrounded by hills on all sides... Read More

If you don't have a great 160 meter antenna, try this contest anyway! My antenna is coaxial feedline with the center and outer conductors shorted, which is attached to my 80 meter dipole at 30 feet. I used an IC-765 running 100 watts through a tuner. T... Read More

20 and 15 were crowded --- very good participation. A wind storm took down my 40/80 meter loop about 4:30 Saturday afternoon. Despite that little set-back, I still made my best showing ever --- over 600 q's. Thanks everybody for a great contest. Read More

I was finally approaching completion of the re-modeling of the N2NHN shack (90%, anyhow), and used Phone Sweeps as an opportunity to "christen" the space. A new chair, a new L-shaped counter top, and working equipment made for a great weekend! I starte... Read More

My first SS in many years turned out to be by accident, after recently putting up the first skyhook at the new (10 years ago) QTH. The antenna is a 75m dipole but the rig didn't seem to mind it on 40, 20 and 15m as well. I was surprised at how well it ... Read More
