Hi!

I am in the process of building a SO2R contest station at my 7 acre hill-top QTH in southern NH. It's a great feeling being able to build a competetive station at my own QTH after many years (and great times!) SO guest op'ing and participating in M/M's.

Tower #1 has been completed and currently supports a Cushcraft 2 element 40 meter yagi (XM240) at 95', home brew 4 element 20 meter yagi (33' boom) at 90', M2 4 element 15 meter yagi (27' boom) at 60' and an M2 4 element 10 meter yagi (24' boom) at 40'. When tower #2 is completed this tower will be used for 40 meters and a stacked yagi array on 10 meters.

Tower #2 will be errected during the summer of 2012. This tower will be used to support stacks on 15 and 20 meters. Also going up this year will be an 80 meter 4-square and a phased array for 160 meters.

Icom and Alpha equipment in the shack.

See you in the next contest!

Elmers:

Ed Adler, W1EP (SK 1993): My Grandfather introduced me to this wonderful hobby during a family camping trip in 1988. He used to use the blank side of a QSL card to keep track of his medications and one day during the trip I asked him what a QSL card was and the rest is history. He was a serious DXer and operated almost daily from the 1930's through the 1980's (I have all of his log books!). He also ran the W1EP DX QSL Service in the 70's and 80's.

Dean Straw, N6BV (Most influencial contesting mentor): Dean taught me the ins and outs of serious single op contesting. To this day I continue to build upon that invaluable knowledge Dean shared with me almost 20 years ago.
