    This effort was a mixed bag for me. Saturday started out painfully slow and I just couldn't get "in the groove". I was so frustrated that when I QRT'd for the night....I made plans to attend a hamfest Sunday mornning rather than get up and contest. ... Read More

  • My wife thinks my hamshack desk is a mess???!!!

    This was my first contest after a 7 year absence from ham radio. I decided to run SSB at QRP. What a surprise it was to me that I worked 50 ARRL sections and logged over 150 stations. I really want to thank everyone for their patience with QRP stations... Read More

    Multiop in KS 1529 Qs * sweep = 244,640

    The old Flatland Amateur Radio Transmitting Society convened once again at the W0NO QTH. Conditions were a little more stable than for the cw session (see our CW 03 soapbox under K0WA). NL was the last secti... Read More

    HI.

    This was my first sweepstakes and it was a lot of fun. The bands could have cooperated more.

    10 meters was dead until Sunday. I heard a lot of the east coast there running 40 over 9, but they were stations I had already worked.

    15 and 20 were very ... Read More

    First time in SS. Great fun! Took a bit of time to assimilate techniques for logging and sending exchange. No wave files this time around! Twenty and forty meter bands worked really well. Thanks to all those considerate operators. Read More

    As a new "HAM," I've been enjoying this "hobby" a great deal!! Thanks to all the experienced old hands who welcomed a new '03' to the ranks.

    I run a small station using home brewed loops but still was able to snag the rare 1500 miler and have a l... Read More

  • Joe Domaleski (KI4ASK) and his daughter Alex participate in the 2003 Phone Sweeps

    11/17/2003 | KI4ASK

    I'm a new amateur radio operator and this was my first contest. Wow! It was a lot of fun, but hard work at the same time.

    I got a late start because I was flying in from a business trip on Saturday. I began working the contest around 0530 on 16 Nov ... Read More

    Well, where to start.

    That seemed to be the question this year. 10 seemed to be all but dead, though some signals (strong ones too) were there, I think most assumed it would be closed and started at 15. I did too. After the first couple of hours, I ... Read More
