    My first time on 432, it certainly surpised me - I'll have to get the antennas up where they can do some good before January. I was also very surprised at all the activity on both 6 and 2 here in the Portland area. Still need better, higher antennae!!! Read More

    WD4OAR the Ocoee Amateur Radio Society had a blast during the contest considering the 60MPH winds at night. We decided to operate a little closer to home this year in Tennessee. No enhancement to speak of on any bands, but some nice long groundwave c... Read More

  • WA4PGI 1296 Beacon(FM07bw) as RCVD in FM15vx Before Contest. (This convinced us that there was hope for propagation!  It was about 14dB SNR in a 5 Hz FFT BW)

    09/17/2004 | W3IY/R

    The September VHF QSO party was great fun on the eastern shores of NC, VA, & MD this year. After at least 5 contests with below average propagation, this one was pretty good, although still just a little better than average. We enjoyed great activity... Read More
