    Had a lot of fun this year with my IC-718 @ 100w thru my MFJ-949e to th G5RV Jr. about 40' up.

    This is the 2nd time I tried the SS. Last year I was a new General and worked only 26 stations. This year I set a personal goal of 100 QSOs and made it exa... Read More

    This was my first CW Sweepstakes ever and WHAT FUN!. Not a great score, but I had a really great time. Thanks to my XLY for taking care of the kids during the evenings. Working 40 meters in the evenings sure gave the front end of my TS-520S a workout. ... Read More

    The November Sweepstakes. The contest to test your mettle. The contest that proves how much of a lid you are, with no one able to really run away from the pack, with the long and complex exchange, with the combination of high rate and efficiency in t... Read More

    However, it was nice to see a ... Read More

    Had a good time, nice scenery in West Texas...over 1,000 miles traveled, and no major glitches with the minivan or equipment!

    This was my first SS using SO2R. I have a FT-920 and Elecraft K2 with an A4S at 50 ft, 40M dipole at 50 ft and a G5RV for the K2.

    I had a great start on 20 and then things just slowly died throughout the night. I had a lot of power line noise on 15M S... Read More

    My first ARRL contest and boy was it a fun time. I helped operate a kids club station and they really gave me an education. Some very intelligent and well spoken kids able to work a pile up. Very impressive to watch and an honor to be a guest op. T... Read More
