I will have 6, 2, and 432 via an FT-817 and 222 via a Ukrainian transverter. I will be barefoot on all bands except 222 where I will have about 20 watts via a RFC amp on loan from Duffey. I will start

I finished the 222 transverter kit this past week and did some initial setup. Per the article on the NMVHF website by W7QQ and KK6MC I checked the gate bias and found it at 2.5 volts. I adjusted it up

I plan on rovering in the ARRL SEPT VHF contest. For me the September contest has always been the triumph of hope over experience. :-) All operations will be close in to 38° N and 104° W. I am a (very

For many of us, one of our first exposures to ham radio was listening to WWV. Many of us still use it as a propagation indicator, a simple frequency standard, an introduction to others of the usefulne

Thanks to KK6MC/r for another great rove. I worked him from DM86, DM74, DM75 & DM64 on 2M and from DM86 on 6M, where he was quite strong. Both the DM86 QSOs are new all-time grids for me. Also, thanks

Here is my itinerary for the June CQ WW VHF contest. W7QQ noted that the eastern Grids are often neglected in our roves, so I am focusing on the NE corner of the state on Saturday and then heading W t

Well, I finished building up the rover -- and Murphy has yet to make an appearance. "Things" seem to check out ok, and there even was 50mcs propagation to the EM50 area and its surrounds at 1800z. (Th

Good 6-meter opening again today with some double hop. Also, a bit of 2 meter E-skip today. Ed, N5JEH and I both worked EM48 (K0TPP) near St Louis. Ed worked 2 meter "DX" in EM25 (K5SW) too. SSB 73, B
