I only managed a few couple of hours of operating in this contest as I arrived back home after a visit to family after the contest had actually started. I was using 25W from a Spectrum Transverter into a 3 element LFA on the back of the house. 8 QSOs were made in 2 DXCC […]

So, this part of the world doesn’t have enough folks to put together any club entries for VHF field day, but it just so happened that on the morning of Saturday 7th July I finally managed to get my 6m Moxon rectangle up in the air. I decided I could then afford some time to […]

In the past I haven’t paid this contest a great lot of attention, though a new light was cast when I was lucky enough to operate from GR2HQ in 2011. This was very much a small part time effort resulting in only 60 QSOs, all CW in under 2 hours of operating time. Better a […]

Not on top form for this contest so wasn’t a real effort, but another few points to go towards the CARA club score. Only 25 QSOs in all in a very crowded band.  

Well, another successful UKAC contest on 2m from IO81UT. 22 QSOs, with my best DX being G4FZN/P in IO94 and GD8EXI in IO74.   View Larger Map

In January 2012 I hadn’t an antenna for 80m, but as I’ve now got a trap dipole for 80/40m I am able to enter these events. This time I managed 86 QSOs, of which 85 are valid. There was a slight problem with the serial number for one QSO. This was great fun for an […]

BERU is a special contest for many, and 2012 saw the 75th anniversary of this, the longest running HF contest in amateur radio. For the past couple of years I have not been able to make an entry for various reasons but this time I had the new antennas up at QTH M0PCB and nothing […]

This is the 3rd UKAC event I have entered on 144MHz in 2012, I am ignoring the fact I managed to submit the February log after the deadline. Not a bad spread of QSOs and a new DXCC on 2m to boot! View Larger Map

Sadly I didn’t get my log in to the system before the deadline for this contest, but the RSGB Log Robot was kind enough to generate the Google Map for me. Having finally got the 144MHz station up and running from the new QTH it was nice to see that it works. View Larger Map

This was the first of the UKAC events that I managed to enter. This entry was made with 50w to a Halo antenna at my previous QTH in IO81WV. I was very pleased with the result, especially given I wasn’t directional. View Larger Map
