    My good friend, Jim, K1IR, had spent a good part of this past off-season rebuilding his station, moving from 25G to 45G, adding stacks for Europe, and building a new shack. I operate with Jim in a M/S for the CQ and ARRL contests. Jim offered his st... Read More

  • F2TU's 7.8 meter dish for 432/1296/2300/5760/10000 MHz

    11/27/2003 | F2TU

    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 (?).

    November Sweepstakes was a huge success for upcoming amateurs. This year the Kendallville Contesters took their Field Day Equipment (Yeasu Ft-920, 30ft Portable Tower, Cushcraft A3S Tribander and their 80-Meter Off-Center-Fed Dipole) and traveled to H... Read More

    Well, I used to work all the big contests but have been inactive on the bands for about 3 years or so, concentrating on SWLing and beacons.

    BUT, I bought a new Icom IC-718 and MFJ 949E and they arrived the Wednesday before the Phone SS. Of course I wo... Read More

    11/24/2003 | KI9R

    Operated from my car on Sunday in order to add a few more points towards the Society of Midwest Contesters drive for their fourth consecutive Unlimited Title. The competition was very fierce, my congrats to NCCC & PVRC for their all out efforts also. I... Read More

  • AI9U Station

    11/24/2003 | AI9U

    This was my fourth time in SS and my first time I missed the Sweep, I am pretty bummed about this, but if SMC can manage to get the Unlimited Title for the fourth time in a row it will all be ok with me. :-)

    Was disappointed a bit in some of the comme... Read More
