No home phone will be installed and I only use my cell phone for emergencies.

2014 CQ 160 Meter CW Contest Results

OK, all you Top Banders…

Please post your contest results here by adding a comment/reply to this posting.

The best my ATU does is make my NVIS 80 Meter Dipole match to about 3.00 : 1 but even with that I was able to work all the way across the bay and down the coast to W1XX this morning. So far, one(1) QSO here. 🙂

Hope to Work You in the ARRL VHF Contest this Weekend

I will be operating this weekend in the ARRL VHF contest. It’s been a long while since having 222 and 432MHZ on the air. And this year for the first time I will have a big 10W on 1296! Getting the VHF shack back in operation has been in the back of my mind for the last few years and now I am ready to give things a try. I hope to work several CTRI members on at least the 6M band during the contest. And feel free to stop by if you want to put a few hours in.

Free 35-Inch Color TV

I meant to mention this while at the meeting today…

I have a 35-inch Panasonic TV (not a flat-screen) that can be anyone’s property who needs it.

I no longer have a use for it and I may be moving soon, so I won’t have room to take it with me.

It works perfectly, has a great picture (In fact, I think it does Picture-in-Picture) and comes with the remote control.

All you have to do is claim it and come pick it up! Such a great price!

2014 ARRL RTTY Round Up Results

Good morning, CTRIers:

Please post your results for this contest here by commenting/replying to this posting. I have had other obligations this weekend and have not been able to spend much time in the contest, but did make a few Qs on 10 meters yesterday and will probably be able to make a few more today.

ARRL RTTY RU

I hope to work many CTRI members this weekend. Look for me at the high end of the bands 80-10 meters…away from the riff-raff !

I haven’t decided to do it LP or HP yet.

GL and Happy New Year to all.
