The rules regarding 60 Meters do not allow the transmission of a carrier. The tuner I use for HF, an LDG AT-897 uses a CW carrier to tune so I haven't been able to tune my antenna for 60 meters (I and haven't been able to put up a 60m only antenna). Purely by accident today, I discovered that if the G5RV I'm using and the AT-897 are tuned for the top end of the 80 Meter band, it will also work on 60 Meters with an SWR of 1.1:1 to 1.5:1.
Thanks to Guy, K4GTM for a successful test on 60 Meters Channel 1 to prove the discovery.
Hopefully I'll now be able to be a regular on the 60 Meter band.

March MilCom Recap
March has so far been a very busy month for me and I've had very little monitoring time. As a result, I'll only post one MilCom recap for March - it will come shortly after the end of the month.

ARRL DX Contest
The ARRL DX Contest is over. Over the weekend, I gathered 135 individual QSOs from 92 different stations. Considering that I don't have much of a station: just a barefoot FT-897D and a G5RV, I don't think that's a bad tally. This morning, I heard two Australian stations, but I just didn't have enough to get back to them (although I did hear Jere, KT4ZB get one of them). One of the stations I worked this weekend, PJ2T, I worked on 5 bands; luckily 10 Meters came open late in the evening a couple of hours before the contest ended. My favorite contact from the contest was KH7X in Hawaii (my birthplace!) on 80 Meters; that's the longest distance contact I have on 80 Meters.

ARRL DX Contest
Allow me to preface this by saying that I am not a contester. I view contests such as this weekend's ARRL DX Contest simply as an opportunity to put stations and countries in my logbook. I've worked 71 QSOs, although the total number of stations is lower due to the fact that I've worked a good many stations on multiple bands.
This contest, I enjoyed working 40 Meters and 80 Meters early in the morning (0400-0630 local) after coming home from work. It was a pleasant experience; the airwaves didn't seem to be quite as busy as during the day and it was easier to work the stations and easier on the ears without all of the daytime QRM.
After sleeping during the day, I woke up in the afternoon and worked a bit of 20 Meters and 15 Meters even though the prime time for Europe was long gone. I did work some Caribbean and South America with a spattering of Europe.
Tonight, I've worked some more 80 Meters, but mostly 40 Meters to Europe. Being more experienced (though nearly not enough) at contesting than I was during the CQ WW Contest last year, I played around with the split operations on the bottom end of 40 Meters. This helped me pick up 15 stations that I otherwise wouldn't have worked. I'm not a fan of split operation, but it was good experience and now I'm familiar with how to easily work split on my radio.

USAF Guide
The current issue of Combat Aircraft magazine (February-March 2009) has a guide to the US Air Force, including Units, Bases, and Aircraft. This issue is a very good resource for the MilCom enthusiast. Here in the Savannah area, B00ks-A-Million carries Combat Aircraft and as of last night they had plenty in stock.

Fort Stewart Forestry Article
http://savannahnow.com/node/684079
The Savannah Morning News had a good article this morning on Fort Stewart Forestry and the prescribed burns that they do during the Spring and Summer. There is radio traffic to monitor for the prescribed burns if you have digital and federal VHF capabilities with your radio. Much of the traffic from the forestry units on the ground is on TG 2480 of the Fort Stewart/Hunter AAF TRS. Traffic between the ground units and the helicopter that the article mentions is on 163.5625.
