Had fun operating K5VG mobile (yes mobile) in SNJ and then as AI4DX mobile in DE. I was parked, of course. Unfortunately, I forgot my laptop and had to use paper logs, which reminded me of Sweepstakes of yesteryear. Read More

QTH: Clermont Harbor, MS, USA
This is my second attempt operating the 160 Meter contest. My first effort in 2003 resulted in 2 QSO's. Much antenna/operating theory was gained by reading ON4UN's book "Low Band DXing" and K1ZM's "DXing on the Edge" since... Read More -

Just wanted to say thanks to the few contacts I made for the opportunity to try my first contest. I only had an hour, and am still becoming familiar with my rig (ICOM IC751, MFJ 941D, Windom @ 40'). I made 6 contacts and am definitely hooked. The we... Read More

Was only able to work the last 15 hours of the contest. The best 160m contest yet! Tried 100w into a 1/4w blimp-supported vertical, ~450ft unterminated "beverage" due east for RX. Worked almost everything I could hear. Highlights were VI, JA and JT mul... Read More

From: Rock Hill, SC
This was my first 160Mtr Contest. Started the contest using 100 watts to a 1/4 wave sloper for 75Mtrs. Needless to say each of my first 25 QSO's was hard-fought.
Decided to try something else so I took the coax from my horizon... Read More -

Conditions were not good from my remote location in Meigs county. I have a full size dipole at 55' and figured that I could at least work most of the states. But seemed to be a big wall west of the Rockies. ... Read More -

It's nice to see conditions improving on 160M as the sunspots decline. This is especially helpful to us minimal QRP operators with the simple wire antennas such as my random wire in the attic. I managed 147 QSO's in 34 sections in about 5.5 hours opera... Read More
