2014 CQ WPX RTTY Contest Results

Good morning, gents:

Please post your results for this contest by adding a reply/comment to this posting. I have been down with a “cold” since last Tuesday (first one in 3-4 years) and am still feeling the effects so I stayed here at home rather than travel to W1AN to help out. Conditions seem to be pretty good and I am sure that stacked yagis on 15 meters at W1AN have been getting a good workout.

KB1LN – NO Change Of Address Yet

I told someone in this group, but I cannot remember who that was,  that I was making a move from my current QTH in Warwick to a new one in Cranston. That move will not take place at this time.

My mailing address remains at 40 Quail Ridge Lane Warwick RI 02886-4262, and home phone remains at 401-825-7122, for the records.

Sorry for any confusion!

2014 WPX RTTY This Weekend 2/8-2/9

This is a reminder that the CQ WPX RTTY Contest is this coming weekend. I hope all that are able will get on the air wherever you are and make some contacts to add to the clubs aggregate score. I will have the W1AN/W1DX station here open as a Multi-2. I’m not sure we can muster all the operators we need but I will guarantee that anyone who shows will have a great experience in one of the chairs.

If you plan on making it let me know either here or direct.

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!
