Now, I’ve never been much of a contester, and I’ll never have enough of a station to be a ‘Big Gun’, but I do enjoy it when I do contest, and with the big station upgrade, I can actually play a bit more. This weekend was Field Day, which was the first contest I ever […]

Had some fun on the radio this weekend. There are advantages to having aluminum up in the air I worked East Kiribati and India for all time new ones. I also got South Cook Islands on 20m and FJ/O1ST on 15m for band fills (That brings my band totals to 3 on FJ/O1ST – 10, […]

This year, Field day has not been so much fun. I’ve got some health issues, so I’m running class 1D with my lousy antennas. On top of that, I went to bed early. I figure my health is a heck of a lot more important than Field Day. I probably should be on the air […]
