XU7GNY is on the air. I was able to work him FT8 on 30m and 17m. There was controversy about whether this activation was legal in Cambodia but has now been approved for DXCC by the ARRL. See below "The political/regulatory climate in Cambodia has changed, and despite a pause in early 2023...

The H40WA DXpedition plans are to be on the air from February 22 to March 7. Temotu is a province in the Solomon Islands (point your antenna toward Australia, 280 degrees for me). Temotu is #42 on ClubLog's most wanted list. They will be using two 5 band Hex Beams and several VDA (vertical...

I was able to work them on 30m FT8. They seem to be having issues with their CW/SSB station and very few Qs on these modes. They are operating Fox and Hound on non-standard FT8 frequencies. On 30m they are using 10.131 This is another Radio in a Box Dxpedition from the motor vessel Magnet...

I worked these guys on 10m CW this morning. Working split of course. As high as 10 up. Huge pile up but they are making an effort to work the US when the high bands open. Pile up is big but these are are fantastic CW ops. They are managing the pile ups very well and keep things under...

My buddy Jon and I operated as NJ3I in the Multi-two (multiple operator, two radio), high power, assisted (spotting network allowed) category. Conditions not great but not bad. 10 meters was open briefly on Saturday and Sunday to the entire world. 15 meters was good to all parts of the...

Very cold and snowy winter in North Eastern PA so we feed the deer when we are up at the radio station. They must have been watching us put out the corn. As soon as we went back in the house....out they came.

This is my favorite contest. While my buddy Jon wasn't able to operate with me this year I still enjoyed it. Contesting with others is more fun however. I was single operator, all band, high power. This contest is like playing poker with wild cards. Call sign prefixes are score multipliers...

The CQ World Wide CW contest is this weekend. If you are working on DXCC, or need band fills, this is a great contest to pack your logbook. Here is a list of announced operations during the contest. https://www.ng3k.com/Misc/cqc2021.html SFI is creeping up and the A and K are low...

Concrete poured for base of tower #2 today. It has been raining so much this summer in eastern Pennsylvania it was difficult to schedule the contractor. Also, not much top soil here. Go down about 3 feet and hit the rock ledge. Contractor has to drill into the mountain and cement in the...

This is a fun contest. You only work EU and EU only works non EU stations. The unique feature of this contest is the EU station can request "QTC". A QTC is a copy of the data from a prior QSO in your log. Only stations outside Europe can send QTCs to stations in Europe. A QTC contains the time...

If you are working any of the FT modes take a look at https://www.pskreporter.de/index/index I use this website to monitor propagation and who is hearing me around the world. The interface is simpler than https://pskreporter.info Shows stations that hear me and I can easily filter by band...

My buddy NJ3I and I have been building an HF contest station in northeast PA for the past couple of years. The station is on mountain ridge and the located in very rural Sullivan country (6,000 people in 452 square miles). We have several motion activated cameras to monitor the house and...

I have a few countries to go on 12 meters (need 26) and 160 meters (need 14) to complete 9 band DXCC. I now have a decent antenna on 160. Two inverted Ls. 70ft vertical and 164ft horizontal. Over 6,000 feet of wire radials underneath them. They are also phased for a little directivity (NE...
