  • My temporary antenna farm - 3 elements on 6, 15 elements on 70cm, 6 elements on 2

    10/14/2005 | WA4UF

    Well, I thought I was going to have a repeat of the June party, where I did all that work on my antenna farm and netted what, 3 QSOs? It was Saturday night before I finally (with some stellar "hold this while I tighten up the guylines!" support from th... Read More

  • The 10 GHz dish is mounted on the top of a sidearm, with 5 GHz below it, and 24 GHz on the bottom. The box behind the 10 GHz dish houses the transverter and 20 watt power amplifier. IF feedline is a run of 3/8" heliax. The rig downstairs is an Elecraft K2 which makes a nice compact and great CW Rig.

    I try to get a few hours in on the 10 GHz contests. I operate from a home station, which seems somewhat rare on 10 GHz. A few people do it, but a mountain top or a large expanse of sea water sure helps with the contacts. This year, I managed 5 hours o... Read More

  • Station used in contest.

    10/12/2005 | W4AMP

    Activity down from last year. Six was nill in EM74. Made most qso's on 220 FM with 5 watts! Wish there was a QRP category. See everyone next year! Ran a Yaesu FT897 and an Alinco DJ280. Read More

  • KB8VAO on Devil Peak (DM07dm)

    10/12/2005 | KB8VAO

    The first weekend of the contest, AD6IW / Goran and I operated from Mt. Lassen (CN90fl), Mt. Shasta (CN81vi), and Mt. Diablo (CM97av).

    I worked a few stations from Mt. Lassen, but kept getting reports of a very weak signal. I checked all the connectors... Read More

  • On Mt. Equinox

    10/11/2005 | WA2IID/R

    A really great contest. The weather was perfect for roving. Not even any bugs around like there usually are. The opening on Sunday evening was a real bonus and a great way to finish up! Our score was our best yet for the September contest. The only... Read More

  • The NLRS Rover Pack parked on rural road in SW Minnesota. To the left in the photo is W9FZ looking for contacts to the East.  To the right (his back to the camera) is WB0LJC.  Closest to the camera is the open rear compartment of the W0JT rovermobile.

    Last year, the Northern Lights Radio Society had great success with one team roving the North Shore of Lake Superior, another team at four fixed locations across the lake on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and a couple of small teams around Lake Super... Read More

  • A view across the microwave shack. N2CEI is on 222 in the background. K1DY is working 432 in the middle, while WA1T is trying out 903 and up in the foreground.

    Every contest is different. The September effort from Maine was very different! The weather was very nice, but exceedingly dry, and the lack of any water vapor anywhere near us made for January type conditions on all bands.(The power line noise even so... Read More

  • N2UO operating from Camelback Mountain, PA. 20 W into a 40 inch dish. The antenna was very sharp, but all contacts were easy after I set my azimuth with the Packrat's W3CCX beacon.

    10/06/2005 | N2UO

    This was my very first 10 GHz contest and 10 GHz experience. I finished building my transverter just hours before the contest. The first weekend was not very successful with only 3 contacts, and very thick fog up on Camelback, PA. I could not see more ... Read More
