Contest:
AUG 9: J Clem Nice turn out 10. Operated 15-20-40. Poor propagation cndx plus high power line noise issues from the urban setting, which verticals are more susceptible to, reduced our normal QSO total, but W8TNX still made 97 qsos. For the first time, two stations were set up this year. Jack brought his hf rig and W3HKK brought his TS50. Kevin brought in Ralphs 4BTV. Mike – KD8DZ brought his vert for 10-15-20. Jack also brought his melodious voice and made most of the qsos.
Aug 23 OhQP. No club entry this year. How many operated from home at least a little? This really is a “Cant Miss” event for all Ohio operators with even the lowest dipoles and inverted vee antennas. It’s easy and it’s fun.
Sep 2014: No OSPOTA club entry this year. How many made at least one qso this year?
Oct 2014
-PA QSO Party Oct 4-5: This is the 2nd best QSO Party of the year for Ohio folks. Fun. perfect skip distance ( 100-400 miles ) for low antennas on 40/80. I highly recommend it to all. And this year, we enjoyed truly excellent cndx
My goal was limited to a Clean Sweep of all PA counties (67), and by 1:00 pm Sunday I did it. You can too.
CQWW DX Contest: Oct 25-26: No club entry this year, so I operated from home focusing mostly on 160-80-40m. This is one of the two top DX contests of the year and a great way to add to your DXCC totals.
The WW8OH-W8TNX-W8FD QSL SHOEBOX IS BEING PASSED AROUND. We continue to receive numerous paper QSLs from contacts made during our SES’s and contests. We also receive numerous eQSLs via eQSL, QRZ and LOTW.
AWARDS: Contest awards received recently include the 2013 PA QSO Party certificate for top score in Ohio, (WW8OH) and the 2nd highest score in the World outside of PA.
CQWW DX CONTEST – CW ONLY - on Nov 29-30. I plan to concentrate on 160m with my new SAL-30 phased loop rx antenna.
ARRL 160M CONTEST - CW ONLY - on Dec 5-6-7. I plan to concentrate on 160m with my new SAL-30 phased loop rx antenna.
ARRL 10M CONTEST ( ssb, cw, psk) on Dec. 13-14. A great fun contest for all, and perhaps the best and last shot at excellent 10M conditions for the next 10 years. Any antenna and any power level are fine. Give it a go on your favorite mode. !
