  • N1AW's Atlas 210x

    12/30/2007 | N1AW

    I'm usually a casual contester and this is the first time I ever submitted a log for the 10 meter contest. I operated a total of about 2.5 hours in 5 segments. My station is modest, I used an old Atlas 210x at 20 to 30 watts output to a mini-G5RV at ab... Read More

    Again, the ARRL 160 contest is a blast. More contacts and more sections and a new country RW0 with 100 watts from my home-brew transceiver, the HBR2000. My antenna is a very odd shaped full wavelength loop, 85 ft straight up, 110 ft. horizontal then ... Read More

  • Dan W9EQ and Marc N2UO taking a break during the second leg of the EME contest

    12/28/2007 | N2UO

    This was my first EME contest from my new QTH in Summerfield, North Carolina. This time I was joined by Dan, W9EQ, and we operated both weekends on 1296 MHz, CW only, with no assistance. We had a great time, and the equipment and the antenna worked fla... Read More

  • My review of the 2007 10 meter contest conditions...

    12/28/2007 | WB9FOL

    In over twenty years of participation this year had the worst band conditions ever! At times there were NO signals at all! Maybe next year will be better... Read More

  • John King, KB3WK, from the Columbia Amateur Radio Association with Alex (facing camera) and Jonathan (both of Troop 944).

    12/27/2007 | W3J

    I am a Committee Member and a Patrol Coach for my son's Troop (Troop 944) in Ellicott City, MD. New to ham radio (July 2007), I was eager to introduce the hobby to Scouts during the 50th JOTA.

    The Troop had a service project at the Chartering Organizat... Read More

  • Norbert mounting the 6m Moxon onto the mast.  We never made any Field Day contacts on 6m-- probably because the band didn't open up much where we were at.

    12/25/2007 | KB5URQ

    Field Day '07 for our family was at the QTH of KC5DCY in Livingston, Texas. The team consisted of Gene KA5FUJ, Norbert KC5DCY, and Jason KB5URQ (all Dugas').

    Jason did almost all of the operating, but had significant help with antennas from both Gene ... Read More

  • Mike JH1KRC had to offset the 6/3cm WG feed horn from the focal point, in order that he can operate 23cm for the contest. Even though the micorwave feed looks to be offset enough, the 1296 MHz signals were disturbed so much.

    12/25/2007 | JH1KRC

    After our 8N1EME BIG-DISH events, which was really a tough job, I wanted to participate in the ARRL EME Competition this year.
    Since I was permitted to setup a high power EME system on 5760 and 10450 MHz bands, I prepared a wave-guide feed horn i... Read More

  • 1X 5WL Manual AZ/EL

    12/24/2007 | K0KP

    This was a great contest! I entered as a single band station - 2 M, using CW and JT65B. The rig is an Icom 746, GS-35B amplifier, and a single 5WL yagi antenna with manual AZ/EL. This QRP setup netted 184,800 points with 56 QSOs and 33 Mults. Five ... Read More
