  • Here is Karl Hess WF5A making QRP SSB contacts.

    07/02/2003 | K5DI

    Karl and Karl have planned this Field Day for over 3 months. We are both old Back Packers so it was planned we will camp out like it was a backpack. We both brought chairs (WalMart easy sitting) and 2 card tables. Three weeks prior to the event we mad... Read More

  • W0DYD at the Key

    07/02/2003 | W0DYD

    Field Day 2003. This was a most enjoyable event that helped me hone my CW skills. Weather conditions were favorable except for one short lightning storm that required me to pull the plug for a couple of hours.
    I have posted pictures of my portable loca... Read More

  • Simple but effective!

    07/02/2003 | W2AGN

    Operated Class 1B-Battery this year, so as not to confuse Mr. Henderson. Used the trusty K2 with the added K2DSP. Terrific combination. Very Casual operation from back porch, with the good old DK9SQ mast and 100' zepp. Made 215 CW QSOs and 2 SSB QSOs. ... Read More

    Like last year, I setup the IC-735 for CW, using an ... Read More

  • Here I am in 1959 at the same site near Reno, Minnesota (EN43, although we did not know it at the time!).  The G-50 was singing!

    07/02/2003 | K9AKS

    Another fun contest. This year I went back to an old favorite site on a bluff above the Mississippi River near Reno, Minnesota. Our "old" multiop groups had used the site in the 1970s (W0OHU) and 1980s (W9UD); but our first time there was in 1959 (W9... Read More

  • 07/02/2003 | KQ6EE

    KQ6EE in Califoria: I did the ROVER this time because my wife liked to get away from the house. So I packed all my gears: dual band beam antenna, ft-100, ICOM 4 bander handheld and one car battery. I put the band beam, 220, 6m, 2m vertical on the top ... Read More

    First time in a VHF Contest. Grabbed FT-817 and an Arrow yagi with a
    tripod and hiked to the peak of Mount Davidson (the highest point in
    the City and County of San Francisco at about 900 feet) on a
    beautiful day with one of my sons, Max KC6MAX. Had ... Read More
