Alan contacts W1AW on 2 seperate HF ham bands using 100watts SSB: 18.140Mhz on 17 Meters, after original contact on 100watts SSB: 14.229 Mhz on 20 Meters. No doubt they are running more power than me, but maybe not … I believe the guy on 20m said he was running 200watts. I’m sure they have really HIGH and really GOOD directional antennas at ARRL HQ !

W1AW, the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station, is a living memorial to the “Father of Organized Amateur Radio”, located at ARRL Headquarters in Newington CT. When visiting ARRL HQ, most amateurs choose W1AW as the place to see where Amateur Radio comes alive. What can you expect to see when you visit? Here’s a look inside. * Also last night for a couple of hours there was an apparently Sporatic-E band opening on 11m (CB Radio) and 10 Meter ham band. I pulled of 6 contacts on 10 meters that you normally cannot do as it is normally dead.
