KE9VEE reminds us that this coming weekend is the Hawaii QSO Party.
Should be lots of HI stations on that are eager to work you.
ALOHA!

Field Day 2008, although a little wet, was a blast as usual. I say a little wet, but we really got a lot of rain this year. In fact, I thought we were going to be late in getting things all set up because it started pouring about 9:30 am, just as we were in [...]

If not, this video should get you pumped up:

Well, I got back from three days at the Dayton Hamvention last night, and as usual, it was a real blast.
As I did two years ago, I started this year’s event with QRP-Amateur Radio Club International’s Four Days in May seminars. This series of seminars lasts from 8:30 until about 4:00 pm and are [...]

Here’s another great idea for GOTA stations that’s gaining traction on the ARRL PR mailing list—instead of calling “CQ Field Day,” call “CQ GOTA.” Maybe, just maybe, hams answering that call will take the time to speak slowly and use plain language, giving the GOTA station operator every opportunity to have a great experience.

Last Saturday, the 2007 version of the Michigan QSO Party took place. My club, ARROW, once again made this a club event, with Tom Snoblen hosting this year. We had a pretty good turnout with about ten guys showing up at one point or another.
We had three stations going from just after noon to [...]

Also arriving in yesterday’s mail was an attractive certificate from the Washington State Salmon Run, a contest sponsored by the Western Washington DX Club. It seems as though I finished second in Michigan in the low-power, CW category. I don’t recall making all that many contacts, so I was probably second out of two. :) [...]

I wasn’t all that active this weekend, and in the next week or so, I’ll be even less active, on the air anyway. Let me explain…
Contests and More Contests
Last weekend was the CW portion of the North American QSO Party. I had several things to do on Saturday, including helping to get our latest Tech [...]

…and signed up for Logbook of the World. According to the ARRL website, Logbook of the World (LOTW) is
is a repository of log records submitted by users from around the world. When both participants in a QSO submit matching QSO records to LoTW, the result is a QSL that can be used for ARRL [...]
