  • W4RM, Bill on the 432 Stack Tower

    10/04/2004 | W4IY LIMITED MULTIOP

    While on the mountain (Flag Pole Knob, VA at 4300') we were thinking back on how long we had been using that same site for both the June and September contests. We came to the conclusion that this was about the 15th year we had been occupying the site ... Read More

  • I used this rover setup during my first-ever solo effort
in a VHF contest.

    10/03/2004 | KG6TOA

    I am a new radio amateur, first licensed in January, 2004. I teamed up with N6NB for the January and June VHF contests. September was my first contest operating solo, running a 10-band rover station and using my own call. It was fun and at times cha... Read More

    09/30/2004 | N0JK

    A strong thunderstorm near Emporia kept me from going to my operating site in
    EM18 Saturday afternoon. The radar plot shows it right over my site! Sunday morning had to go to a family reunion with the
    XYL. Was able to drive out to the "Cattle Pens" Su... Read More

    RoverMania who thought of that? Well I guess it was the Northern Lights Radio Society (actually believe it was Jon, WQ who coined the term...pse read on)

    Sounded like fun a few years ago when it was suggested that we (the Northern Lights Radio Socie... Read More

  • Antenna farm for K4LVV's 3-hour operation in Ky (EM87).

    Operated for 3 hours in a church parking lot overing
    US23 near Jenkins, KY. Purpose was to hand out this
    semi-rare grid square to those in need. W4WRL in FM04

  • This is what you want for a VHF QTH!

    09/28/2004 | K8MR/R

    This was my second VHF rover attempt, and for W1NN it was his first real VHF contest.

    We hoped to do 3 stops on Saturday, but that was too optimistic. We arrived at our first stop, at the aptly named "town" of High Hill, OH in EM99, 30 seconds befor... Read More

  • AA6HA / John @ U.C. Davis

    09/28/2004 | KB8VAO

    The first weekend of the contest I operated from U.C. Davis / CM98dm, and Mt. Diablo / CM97av.

    Saturday I met W6BY / Brian and AA6HA / John at U.C. Davis where we worked K6GZA / Ron on 10 and 24 GHz with bone crushing signals.

    Unfortunately I was on... Read More

  • 2004 J-38 trophy and that famous elixir of CW magic, MWA Brasso, to keep the old J-38 spit-shined and polished.

    09/27/2004 | W0AA

    SKN is an excellent opportunity to flex those CW muscles. For many, the 'code' is a relic of history. A large number of hams understand the value in using CW and enjoy the mode exclusively.

    During the 2004 running of 'SKN,' the Minnesota Wireless Ass... Read More
