  • The tri-bander and tower on a pontoon boat that was "loaned" to us for the weekend

    06/27/2004 | WB8TCT

    We got some strange looks from those who saw us on the water or at the dock. "Murphy" paid a visit when a lens popped out of my glasses. It is difficult to try and use a pocket-knife blade to tighten tiny screw at midnight, by flashlight, while the bo... Read More

    My first Rove attempt. Wow, that was work! I quit early Saturday evening, about 8 PM. Bands were still open, but just tired from being in the sun all day. I found a nice place to operate from in EN91, unfortunately couldn't put up the antennas, so h... Read More

    Had a great time! Weather was HOT! KB9IQR and I BOTH got sunburned, even in the shade! This was our starting point in EN50 at the Frasca Field airport in Urbana, IL. Roving our way back home, we activated a total of 7 grids. The Yaesu 857 performed... Read More

    06/21/2004 | W5ZN

    Thanks to everyone that worked W5ZN !!!

    Really enjoyed the weekend, although the 6 meter Es was practically non-existent here. Had a nice brief opening to the west coast early Saturday evening. That was about it on 6.

    Just wanted to add my two cents to the soapbox and to say what fun I had. I am a fairly new technician and this was actually my second contest (participated in the Jan 04 contest). My goal for this contest was of course to improve my score, ie. more ... Read More
