Earlier this month I went on an overnight hike to LA/RL-23 Kvitalandsfjellet, where I also participated in the EUHFC https://youtu.be/bP07636Fy8I #hamradio #contesting #summitsontheair #hiking #norwegiannature

Hope to hear you all on the bands 222 and up today!

Anyone operating in the #naqp today? #contesting

Delightfully unsettled #ionosphere today on #17m.

I think if I was under some sort of pressure for points, or a high rate, it might be frustrating. A long time ago, when it looked like I would keep doing #contesting, I remember the constant pressure to monitor rate and move "early". The idea was to not have any decline in rate. It was better to move early than stay on a band too late.

Logging and telemetry are so much better now I have to imagine ops are even more efficient/effective.

Summary King of Spain Contest - CW.
Conditions poor at the start & only slightly improved. 10m had some good opening to Spain by times. It was fun and a good practice in "running" for the WPX this weekend.
230 Q's, 100W, vertical, FTDX101D.

Lots of state QSO parties today-
7th CallArea QSO Party, Indiana and Delaware QSO parties as well as the New England QSO Party.

This is a good way to work new states and counties, practice your contesting skills as well as test that new antenna or radio.

#Contesting is fun! DARC VHF UHF SHF Contest 2023. 100W, home made 5-el yagi turned by hand, not the best location (kinda deep down in a valley). And still quite nice contacts.

You got all that tech at your fingertips and th0e only thing you care about is making the most superficial radio contacts where everyone is a bloody "59"? Fuck that. #cuntesting #boring
