Topband: W1AW/0 Kansas on 160M
Hi Topbanders, Some of you may know that a competitive year-long "Volunteers On The Air" (VOTA) event of W1AW/x operations by state has been organized by ARRL. I will be the contact point for the Kansas operation, which will be from Jan 18 to 24. I am hoping to activate the call for a few hours each day, both morning and evening, on 160 CW from my station. I hope to work lots of you! If anyone is in need of a schedule to work KS or Leavenworth Cty on 160, or just really wants the W1AW/0 contact and you need a particular time slot, let me know and I will try and accommodate you. For Kansas stations, drop me a note if you'd like to activate the call from your station! We have lots of slots open, 160 through VHF (no WARC). 73, Drew K3PA _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
Re: Topband: W1AW/0 on 160
Thanks for the contact, Dave. You were quite strong into GA last night with your setup into my TX antenna for receive. That was the last of my 160 contacts. Yes, I was doing the 160 chores for W1AW/4-GA last week. With a TX 4 square and 1500w, I know I was heard by those that I couldn't pull out of the noise regardless of which RX antenna I chose. I worked several locals that I goaded into trying whatever they had, and many were just plain W E A K on their 40m antennas. tnx Mike / W5JR / 160-W1AW/4-GA > On Dec 30, 2014, at 1:56 PM, David Raymond wrote: > > I have been operating 160 CW as W1AW/0.

Topband: W1AW/0 on 160
I have been operating 160 CW as W1AW/0. I know I was missing some callers last night due to unusual high ambient noise (it's normally very quiet here). It appeared to be atmospheric. Whatever it was, the NB was of no help. Sorry if I missed your call. . . I was certainly doing my best. It's really hard to have time to try the all various antenna options and directions when guys that are pee weak running QRP to the gutter only call once. . .hi. Also, I have not been QRO due to an antenna relay problem in the amp. With last night's conditions impacting my receive capability, it was just as well I was running only 100w. Thanks to all of you that did hang in there. . . I was trying. My best to all for a Happy New Year. . . Dave, W0FLS, W1AW/0 _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Re: Topband: W1AW/0
Any chance for some SSB for us mid-west stations?

There's a ton of static this time of year, so turn on those amps if you want to be heard! :D) 73, Charlie, N0TT _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband _ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
