Historically, I’ve operating contests and DX’ed quite a bit. Most of my contesting took place at W5EHM/N5XU, the station of the University of Texas Amateur Radio Club, but I’ve also operated from W5KFT, K5TR/WB5VZL, N3BB, N5AU and 6D2X, often as part of multi-operator efforts. Here are some of those results:
