    15 meters did disappoint me, but it seems I wa... Read More

    I'm very glad that six meters opened up Saturday and parts os Sunday. With 100w on 6/2 and 30w on 220/70cm I managed to reach the 5g point level by contest end. Hope to hear more people on 2m in September.

    I only got a few hours to participate in between trips to the mall

    I'm a casual contester - a TS50 into a beat-up R7. The bands were
    quite poor for most of the day on Saturday, though... Read More

    On Thursday evening before the contest, an out-of-control wildfire started on our mountain that garnered my attention all evening longand it proved to be a factor for several days. An evacuation of our neighborhood was ordered by 0330 local on Friday ... Read More

    I had actually forgotten about the contest until late Friday evening. I had spent the day Friday scavenging parts from my old R5 vertical to repair a bad trap on a second-hand R7 and the subsequent tuning. While checking the SWR, I heard another stat... Read More
