This was my first entry ever into CW Sweeps. I was semi terrified and not certain that this is what I wanted to do, but I did it anyway.
First things first, I'm no where near a serious contestor. Point in case I was operating on 80 meters and my wi... Read More -

It was a bit rough going this year with the solar flare on Sunday, elusive sections that I never contacted, and some real CW speed demons with the "pedal to the metal", but fun nonetheless.
Is it my perception (or my advancing age and sore ears) that... Read More -

As always, my goal going in to the contest was to work a clean sweep. I got serious about the contest 6 years ago and have only been able to manage a clean sweep every other year. Since I worked a double sweep in the CW and SSB contest last year, the... Read More

Going in, I had visions of 1000 Q's and a mult sweep; I only have one sweep in SS CW in 15 years. But no such luck....missed AK, NT and MAR.

After my mobilehome park re-wrote the standard lease, leaving out the part about "No Transmitting Allowed",
I put up my antique Webster Bandspanner on a triple mag... Read More -

Through pure stupidity on my part, I fell about 5 feet onto my heels, putting myself in a wheelchair until at least 11/18. (Not radio related!)
Soooo, not to be deterred, I used the W4MQ IRB for a total of 15 20m QSO's. With my laptop on the kitchen ... Read More -

Thanks for the qrs to my 25 wpm for my first entry into a CW contest. Was lots of fun. Made 184 Q's and 62 sections. It took me 2-3 minutes of listening and writing before calling a cq-er. How do you guys get all that in one answer to your cq? My ... Read More
