  • My Rover 6m-3ele, 2m-6ele, 70cm-7ele, 33cm-19ele (truck rotator)

    2006 makes it one year anniversary for VHF Contesting in Alaska. The Alaska VHF-Up Group began in April 2005 and June 2005 was the first time for Alaska VHF Contest participation.

    I began by operating from home and was underwhelmed by activity only ma... Read More

  • The 3 element Cushcraft for 6 meters

    06/14/2006 | W5MPC

    I sure had a great time with the contest and worked quite a few new grids and states. Conditions on Saturday were amazing! Sunday here wasn't nearly as good though. I did manage to get one QSO on 2 SSB and one on 430 SSB (my first contact ever on 70cm)... Read More

    06/14/2006 | WV0H

    06/14/2006 | N0TTW

    This is the first time that I write in a soapbox where I didn't compete in a specific contest meant for it. But the conditions that were presented on the 6m band (and some areas of the country on 2m), deserved a little investigation.

    With all of the p... Read More

  • oops!

    06/14/2006 | KB7DQH/R

    The pictures tell the story rather well. Needless to say, the planned unlimited band multiop from Lion Rock, CN97QG, with Ray, W7GLF, didn't happen. Efforts to free the vehicle without the aid of the tow truck did nothing in the way of putting calls i... Read More

  • Running from thunderheads in EM75 two hours into the contest.

    06/13/2006 | N8UM

    As usual, weather dictated a large part of my rover operations. I had planned to spend all day Saturday and Saturday night trying out a new site in EM76 but thunderstorms drove me off the mountain after 2 hours (see first photo). 6 meters was red hot... Read More
