    CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 160M HIGH CW DJ3TF

    Took part only on topband during both sunrises. Used QTH and equipment of DL0AO. CONDX were pretty good on 160 here in central-Europe. But Mr. Murphy made a visit at sunday morning and did not tell me to switch my... Read More

    As always, what a kick. Some highlights on this end EA8BH on 80m, LZ0A on 40m, TU2CI on 20m, and ZK1CG on 10m. I was expecting more difficult conditions. Ten never really "started", and I still did well with 40m - 15m.

    The only "down side" to the c... Read More

    We (Jean, N1MJC, and Rick, N1RL) had a lot of fun operating this contest, which provided the occasion for our first 10 GHz QSO. Fortunately, the makeshift 6 and 2-meter antenna system held up for the weekend. Getting the shaky pole and beams up in the ... Read More

    Excellent contest, but alas not made to encourage the bands above the 1296 MHz.

    It was created 26 years ago, I took part in it already. At that time, there was approximately 10 stations qrv 1296, and nobody above (?). times changed much, but not the A... Read More

    Many stations are QRV on more than one band. It would be very helpful for all of them to split the total contest time into time-slots per band. This would also help to concentrate the activity per band which would result in more contacts per band. This... Read More

    The new JT44 mode has attracted a whole new set of EME enthusiasts.
    These hams have typically low power stations with relatively small antennas. For example, ZS6WB was running only 80 watts to a modest sized antenna. DG5KW was only running 50 watts to ... Read More

  • You see my 70 feet steel tower and the 6 Element YAGI
looking direction USA during this ARRL International
DX Contest 2004. We got snow and ice tonight and I
think this is a good RF earth for the antenna as well.

    Hello contest freaks around the world,

    This is Mirko from Kreiensen in north west Germany.
    I had a lot of fun during this very interesting ARRL contest.
    My idea was to reach again a good place under the top 10 in
    Germany. One week before the contest st... Read More

  • There otta be a new category!

    03/10/2004 | W4WR

    After 5 years of being "radio-less" in a Florida condo, I finally snuck a Sigma-5 up on the roof. So far, no complaints from the neighbors. So yes, I was antenna handicapped. We had company for the weekend. The dog ate my homework.

    But I still managed ... Read More
