WW2PT Amateur Radio: K1N: Navassa 2015
http://ww2pt.blogspot.com/2015/02/navassa-2015.html
Friday, February 6, 2015. Went QRV and the expected bedlam ensued. Big Brother KB2YAN called me to gloat about working them on 40m CW; I told him I was going to wait a few days for things to calm down. My QSX was up 6.4 on 7029.4. So the pressure of working an ATNO is over. Now for 30-10m. 04-Feb: 20m, 17m, and First Upload to ClubLog. QSOs through 03-Feb, 1631 UTC have been uploaded to ClubLog; no LOTW yet. 05-Feb: Second K1N Upload to ClubLog is in! 06-Feb: VOACAP Predictions for K1N. I decided to give...

WW2PT Amateur Radio: January 2015
http://ww2pt.blogspot.com/2015/01/january-2015.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. Only two all-time new ones this month. Got 1A0C for DXCC #205; now if only they'd update ClubLog, the last QSO uploaded was from July 2012. JY9FC was strong (S7 ) on 12m Saturday morning 31-Jan, in the log as DXCC #206. Damn, new countries are get harder and harder to come across after 150. Operation by the Brits, got them on 40, 30, 20, 15, 12, and 10 meters. Super-fast daily LOTW and ClubLog uploads. Just a great operation all around. The end of the month tally:. The Main Se...

WW2PT Amateur Radio: 2015 ARRL International DX Contest (CW)
http://ww2pt.blogspot.com/2015/02/2015-arrl-international-dx-contest-cw.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. 2015 ARRL International DX Contest (CW). New Band Slots: 30. A fairly productive DX weekend despite being out of the shack through most of it. Put in about 15 hours working 40/20/15/10m only. The great band conditions on all bands plus the low noise level here on Cedar Key made contest conditions the most enjoyable I've ever experienced. I beat last years score (156,600) by a wee bit despite having fewer QSOs - 42 extra multipliers did that. Most of the business was conducted w...

WW2PT Amateur Radio: 5T0JL Mauritania and the Art of CW
http://ww2pt.blogspot.com/2015/02/5t0jl-mauritania-and-art-of-cw.html
Friday, February 20, 2015. 5T0JL Mauritania and the Art of CW. I happened upon Jean 5T0JL. On 12m last Friday (13-Feb) and hung in through the QSB to get him in the log for #210 worked. A pleasant email exchange followed in which Jean told me to look for a couple of special 5T activations: 5T0ITU will be QRV on 25-Feb and 26-Feb, and 5T3MM during the third week of April. Jean's QRZ page states his belief that CW QSOs should be more than "5NN" exchanges:. I would do the same when operating phone or digital.

WW2PT Amateur Radio: West Mountain Radio TARGETuner
http://ww2pt.blogspot.com/2015/02/west-mountain-radio-targetuner.html
Saturday, February 28, 2015. West Mountain Radio TARGETuner. West Mountain Radio TARGETuner and RigRunner 4004U. Took my first visit to the Orlando HamCation on Saturday 14-Feb and got to check out a few things on my wish list. I also scratched a couple of things off. The list: a memory controller for the Tarheel screwdriver, and a PowerPole distribution box for better management of my DC power cabling. I first heard about the West Mountain Radio TARGETuner. Hooking everything up is a fairly simple proce...

WW2PT Amateur Radio: DXCC #209: TJ3SN Cameroon
http://ww2pt.blogspot.com/2015/02/dxcc-209-tj3sn-cameroon.html
Thursday, February 12, 2015. DXCC #209: TJ3SN Cameroon. Back in my SWL days, my favorite time of the year was fall. At that time of the year, as the days got shorter and sunsets came earlier the 60m tropical broadcast band would be hopping with West African stations from Gabon, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon, and many others. Many thanks, Nicolas! DXCC Mixed #209 / CW #197 / 10m #71. Posted by Paul Lannuier. View Complete WW2PT Log. Station info, history, ham and SWL links, and other lies.

WW2PT Amateur Radio: Elecraft KX2
http://ww2pt.blogspot.com/2016/05/elecraft-kx2.html
Sunday, May 22, 2016. Announced (or at least leaked to the public) just before its grand debut at Dayton last week. I held out for four (4) days before blowing the rent money. Brother K2JK asked me, "Why do you need a KX2? As if that's a relevant question. Posted by Paul Lannuier. View Complete WW2PT Log. Station info, history, ham and SWL links, and other lies.

WW2PT Amateur Radio: February 2015
http://ww2pt.blogspot.com/2015/03/february-2015.html
Sunday, March 1, 2015. Some great operations graced the bands in February and I had a fair amount of luck working most of them, including nine all-time new ones. ATNO #207. Possibly the biggest operation that we'll see in 2015. Worked on 80/40/30/20/17/15m CW and 20/15m SSB. My Navassa exploits are documented here. The K1N guys made 140,000 Qs with 30,000 unique stations. All QSOs matched on ClubLog. More on K1N: NavassaDX.com. S79AC and S79CO Seychelles Is.:. Good sigs with some QSB. More on 5T0JL here.
