My favorite aspect of amateur radio is contesting.  For those not very familiar with contesting, it involves competitions among groups of radio amateurs.  These competitions can be small, like the CQWE contest, or they can be huge, worldwide events with thousands of participants.  The CQ WorldWide DX contests and the ARRL International DX contests are the big contests.  There are many more in between.

My participation ranges widely.  Many of my contests are casual efforts to hand out a few contacts to the serious participants.  This helps the serious entries and it also keeps me in practice for my own serious efforts.  There are a few contests I approach in a true attempt to excel.  Among this group are the Pennsylvania QSO Party, the CQWW DX Contests, the ARRL DX contests, and some of the North American QSO Parties.

As a member of the Frankford Radio Club, the greatest world power in radio contesting, I am committed to score as high as possible in the CQWW and ARRL DX contests.  I cut my teeth with the K3II superstation team for several big contests and I now do the most contests as a single operator at my own place.  The addition of an Acom 2000A amplifier in mid 1999 has really improved my competetive edge!

Some of these contest entries have links to more detailed information about my effort.  I plan to expand these links to include more of my contest reports.

I look forward to working you or locking horns with you in a pileup.  Thanks for stopping by.
