    This was my second Field Day operation, and the first with a special event call. We had a great time here with both the radios going. It was nice to see how quickly we were on the air, and living a small down how quickly we could do this in an emergenc... Read More

  • WA6JBD at Bully Choop, set up and ready to go. We found a wide spot in the road just below the lookout tower. The gate
prevented us from going any further, but it's just as well. A group of hams going to the top to fix a 2 meter repeater said it
was WINDY up there!

    Conditions sure stunk, but it was a nice drive all the way to Bully Choop (near Redding, CA). Best DX was 726 km, about half of what I was shooting for. Oh well... there's always next month. Read More

    Conditions, signal levels, and activity were the best I've seen. For the 2 hours and 10 minutes operated on 432, I worked 24 stations in 8 grids using 20 watts and an 8 element quagi up 14 feet. I worked almost everyone I heard. Some signals were up... Read More

    08/24/2005 | W8LT

    Amateurs from Ohio State University Amateur Radio Club had one of their best field days in many years. Contacts were made on 5 HF bands and VHF. Matt, KD8ANP, volunteered his home and 5 acres for the event. Matt's two car garage housed our radios an... Read More

  • A wee bit of a difference between N6CA's station and KH6WZ's station. Still, 1,000km QSOs were achieved by both stations roving in the flatlands of Central California. We preferred to operate near freshly cut alfalfa and beets rather than the tall corn! This is DM05ew, I think, with dishes pointing to points South towards XE and back home. . . .

    08/22/2005 | KH6WZ & N6CA

    Those working N6CA and KH6WZ roving around the Central California Valley may (or may not???) have noticed a difference in signal strengths. Here's "for why."

    What a blast! This contest had a bunch of "Firsts" for me:
    First time no rig failures
    First ti... Read More
