  • 2008 ARRL November Phone Sweepstakes Results Steve London, N2IC
    2008 ARRL November Phone Sweepstakes Results Steve London, N2IC "75th Anniversary Edition Brings Out the Crowds" The 75th anniversary edition of the ARRL Phone Sweepstakes was a record breaker in so many ways – increased activity, numerous records broken in all categories, challenging multipliers, and some of the closest races in recent memory. While the sunspot cycle remained stuck at the bottom, showing few signs of new solar Cycle 24, conditions were indeed improved over the 2007 running. In 2007, many participants bemoaned the long skip conditions on 75 meters, resulting in 0-point contacts with Europeans, while at the same time making contacts within 500 miles was a difficult undertaking. Figure 1-Here is the ebb and flow of Sweepstakes, showing the number of QSOs made on each band during each hour. This year, 75 meters was much better behaved, with nearby contacts being easy to complete, and strong signals from coast-to-coast. Even 15 meters was improved this year, especially if you were fortunate enough to be on the East or West Coasts, Hawaii, or in the Caribbean ARRL sections. 20 meters took the brunt of activity during the daytime hours, resulting, expectedly, in very crowded conditions. Figure 1 shows where the contesters were throughout the contest. To the surprise of many, the 2008 Phone Sweepstakes smashed the old record for the number of entries submitted – 1872 entries. Every year, more and more hams discover how much fun contesting is! This year, there were 38 new Section records, and 13 new Division records as seen in the table.

  • An Anthology of Maritime Reading Experiences
    An Anthology of Maritime Reading Experiences A book that has been read at sea has a near claim on our friendship, and is a thing one is loath to part with, or change, even for a better book. But the well-tried friend of many voyages is, oh, so hard to part with at sea. A resting-place in the solemn sea of sameness—in the trackless ocean, marked only by imaginary lines and circles—is a cheerless spot to look to; yet, how many have treasures there! (Voyage of the Liberdade, by Joshua Slocum. Boston, Robinson & Stephenson, 1890. p. 30) Allen, Everett S. Children of the Light: The Rise and Fall of New Bedford Whaling and the Death of the Arctic Fleet. Boston: Little, Brown, 1973. A somewhat elegiac tale of the decline of whaling and New Bedford, contrasted with descriptions of the life of the Inuit, before and after the coming of the whalers to the Beaufort Sea area. Main focus at end is on the disastrous season at Pt. Barrow of the whaling fleet which abandoned over 25 ships, but managed to rescue over 1200 whalemen. p. 89: When a library was donated to New Bedford by the Friends Society in 1813, a committee of members went over the list of books and discarded many, such as several foremost English poets and Shakespeare's works, as unfit for young people to read. This opposition to certain aspects of culture and the arts, implemented by the influential Quaker leadership, was dominant in the New Bedford area for many years.
