Observations from a 1st time VHF contester
What I learned for my 1st exposure to the VHF weekend conte
st.
- VHF/UHF/Microwavers are serious hams.
– They communicate and take these operations very seriously
– They operate strange expensive radios and antennas from their cars
– They pre-arrange operating times and coordinate with others
– They operate big signals and hunt out the little guys
- The W5RRR satellite antennas are not fun equipment for this type of contest
Winter Field Day

John’s CW Decoder Kit – Taking Orders Soon!
As reported in recent 2m Tuesday net traffic, John AB5SS is nearly complete with a nano arduino based CW Decoder project board kit. Many thanks to John for his countless hours in development along with assistance from Stu W4STU, and Mike, N8MTV. John brought the finished kit and demonstrated it at the last club meeting. This is an excellent project for hams who are just learning how to send and copy morse code, or for those who hate CW but want to decode the messages thru this device. Standby for how the club prefers to handle order requests.
