    The contest was a mixed bag here in EM00. Six meters was wonderful on Saturday but dead most of Sunday until the final hour. A highspot was working 8 countries: US, VE, HI8, V3, HK, V2, XE and TG9.

    Condition on 2 and up were below normal for the enti... Read More

  • The stacked 11el 6M2.5WL antennas really play well.  Nothing like 100' of boom on 6M!

    06/25/2003 | K2DRH

    Had a killer June VHF 'test this year. 6M Es all day Saturday well into the night. It was variously open to FL, the SW and the NE, and occasionally the Q rate exceeded 200/hour for short 10 - 20 minute bursts. I was glad that I had two independent 6M a... Read More

  • QRP portable means you use a mini-van instead of a full size van, right?

    06/22/2003 | N3EG

    Another single-op-portable (aka QRP portable, aka Fixed Rover) operation from CN86, Northwest Oregon. Had all bands 6 through 1296 ready, but found that Nicolai Mountain is too flat on top for the higher bands (903 / 1296) and made no contacts there. ... Read More

FT100D IF for DEMI and DB6NT xvtrs for 9EFGHIJ with 2-100W bricks

    06/22/2003 | K1DS/R & N1XKT/R

    June roving is a more casual pace for us, starting in FM28, FM18 and FM19 on Saturday. Didn't expect to do much on 6m, remaining focused instead on the higher bands. That was a troublesome strategy, as most of the rest of you were pounding the heck out... Read More
