Contest Vs. Ragchew

<< < (2/3) > >>

WS2L:
I do both actually as I do enjoy rag chewing when I have some time ti kill and am bored. I also enjoy contesting, CW or Phone it doesn\'t matter to me in the least. Right now I have no antennas up because I moved to a new QTH which is much higher in elevation than my previous QTH. My last place was Carteret, NJ (Exit 12 NJ Turnpike) and my antennas were only about 40\' ASL. The new QTH is in Montclair, NJ (FN20vt) and once the antennas installed my VHF/UHF yagi\'s will be roughly going to be at 350\' ASL so that should do a lot for my signal. I am also building a nice wire HF antenna which I can\'t wait to install and a friend of a very good friend  has offered to sell me a descent Yaesu HF amp that put out roughly 700-800 watts. Since it is an older amp I will treat it carefully and not overdrive it.

I\'m looking forward to operating in some contests, especially the CW ones but once I have the antennas up I will make a sked with anyone, phone or cw.

KU0DM:
That was a bold remark Dave. :4:  


I like it all. Not so much ragchewing lately, hunting countries now, but do like the call CQ or prowl around the contests.

Lately I\'ve been more of a predator, more listening than talking. :cool:
