Operated from Alaska's Arctic Circle June 2005 - from my wife's hometown of Kotzebue, AK. We connected with family friend, Bob Douglass- KL3BD and he took us a few miles north by boat to grid : AP86sw

*County: Northwest Arctic Burough *rig: FT857d *boat battery *Ant: homebrew mini-dipole with "band-clips", and a modified "PAC-12" vertical.*small SST tuner. Heard JA's,W6,W7's, LA's,KH6 Made a 2way contact with the "LA6Q" dxpedition, and a few W7's on 20 and 40m.

== I called cq on 60mtrs from the tundra here also- with no luck. I wonder if this was the first use of the 60m amateur band from Alaska's Arctic Circle area? Any feedback would be helpful (June 2005) The picture on the right was taken at approx 11 pm Alaskan Time>>>>>>>

==Dec.2006: Attempting EME (moon bounce)on 2 mtrs ==update: Success!! 2way EME Q with Texas in Aug.2007 running 90 watts into a10ele Cushcraft (no elev control!) on 144.13 mhz using "WSJT" mode JT65B.

Interests include HF/CW/SSTV/Digital /Hi-Speed MeteorScatter/SATS/ Medium Wave- DX. (see: "DXWorld.com for MW dx spots), HF-WxFax, general HF-Utility stuff "Utes", and NOAA 137mhz Wx-Sat decoding.

Now active on: ATV, Olivia, and Hellscreiber(FeldHell)- a fascinating 1929 facsimile mode. Please see the Hellscreiber page at: feldhellclub.org (FH member# 204). I enjoy using the "IZ8BLY" software for this mode.

Member # 2656 of the "30 mtr Digital Group" [30MDG.net] ---Experimenting with Narrow TV mode "MP73-N" on 10.132 mhz.[pic viewed as data, <500hz wide, ok in Region 2].

== If you are interested in SATS, Digital, or 10 mtrs - I have an UPDATED Reference Pdf (freqs/tips) for each of these topics available. Just shoot me an EMAIL!

== Began working stns via meteor scatter using WSJT- K1JT's Weak Signal Program during theLeonids 2001 meteor shower. My multi-mode digital ref pdf includes quick tips on JT65A, and the QRPp "WSPR" reporting mode. (wsprnet.org) + I'm still looking for the experimental stations on 504 Kcs +- (600mtrs) using ARGO.
