Thanks to Arne, N7KA, and Ed, N5JEH, for QSOs while I was in DM75, after having to throw out my original roving plan. DM74 was a complete bust because I arrived just in time for a long thunderstorm. A

Likely it was no better here today. A change of plans, a very late start, and having to wait out a thunderstorm in DM74 did not help. I am hoping for a QSO from my driveway Sunday, which I might actua

Here's my plan: Saturday 1800-2000 Z: DM54xa 2030-0200Z or so: DM53ww Sunday: Probably get a late start, at best, and try to pick up a few either from DM65 or DM74. I'll have 6 (100 W), 2 (100 W), 432

Bill - I'm not sure I understand what your friend needs, but if he's just trying to design a lumped-element pi network he could try "PI-EL." As the name implies, it's a program for designing pi and pi

I'm planning to go out for Sept. VHF - maybe just heading down to DM53/DM54 on Saturday and operating closer to/at home Sunday. John, AA5PR/R

I'm planning on operating from DM86, DM76, and DM85 on Saturday. DM74 and DM75 on Sunday. I haven't been very good about sticking to a schedule in the past, so I'm not even going to publish one now, o

Unfortunately, I was not paying attention back in January when family plans were being made for the summer, so while I might be driving through some interesting grids this weekend I won't be operating

Thanks for making the rules clear, and I appreciate the guidance on contest logging and the role judgement plays in error rate. I hope to develop and apply better judgement over time. It would also be

Thanks to all who were able to provide me a few points in the contest last weekend. It was a tough one, but I enjoyed checking out some new spots around the state, making contacts on 3 bands (need to

I'll be out this weekend for the contest. My plan, with many possibilities for deviations, is this: Saturday 1900Z-1930Z DM55xs 2100Z-2300Z DM56wd 0115Z-0245Z DM66kb Sunday 1615Z to at least 1900Z DM5

My plan is to operate Saturday only, starting in DM53xx and moving just a bit at some point to DM54, depending on activity. I think I'll have internet there, so look for me on the NMVHF slack chat cha

I'll be participating, but probably Saturday only as well, and a very limited rove. I'll post again when I have it figured out. John, AA5PR

I'll be roving for the contest this weekend. Here's a rough schedule, subject to changes related to 6 m band conditions. I'll have both 6 m and 2 m with 100 W and yagis. Saturday I'll be looking for l

Saturday was a pretty good day. I was able to work quite a few in all directions on 6 m FT8 from the DM56/66 line south of Bloomfield, then moved to just DM66 for more. I had a few SSB QSOs to 6 land

I'll be out this weekend roving during the ARRL June VHF contest. Saturday at 1800 Z I plan to start on the DM56xo/DM66ao line. From this location I'll be giving out DM56 for the contest, but both DM5

I will be roving somewhere, but avoiding hotels and tents this time will limit my operating time and range. John, AA5PR

Hi Jim, Did you connect with Jon, W0AMT/R, in DM76? John

I'll have to say, this one was hard. I heard absolutely no hint of any opening on 6 m. Despite my cell carrier claiming service in the area, they had none, so I had no way of coordinating contacts. Th
