    Enjoyed the 10 meter contest, in spite of limited operating time. Running 5 watts into my G5RV, I felt I was getting out better than I had expected. The G5RV is up at 100' and horizontal (thanks to the

    Primary 160 antenna wiped out by falling tree limb Friday morning. Threw up my camping antenna Friday afternoon and managed to pump out an amazing 50 watts of RF. Thanks to everyone who worked me in the contest. See you next year. 73 de Gil Read More

    Thanks to all those who patiently pulled out my QRP signal. I owe half my points to good ears on the other end of the QSO! Read More

    This was about the 10th year I've been entering the 160M contest - always as low power. This year's conditions seemed poorer than last - fewer DX stations heard here in STX. Friday nite was pretty decent and quiet but Saturday nite, an approaching fron... Read More
