Some comments of mine added:
Light sides:
- this contest we had two quite good rigs simultenously at first time,
- propagation was better than I expected.
Dark sides:
- due to some reasons we didn't any serious efforts this contest,
- we had too little time for doing new 20m antenna (3 over 3 stacked
beam), we hope to finish it up to end of this summer,
- too many American guys worked each other during Asia to North America
early propagation opening (both mornings at ~23.30 I heard many
American stations working each other and not doing a glance to our
directions! Calling of them did not any practical results).
I hope you will look at us more seriously during All Asian contest, hi...

Subject: tower building
Message-ID: <34950606191043/0007359114PJ4EM@MCIMAIL.COM>
Last year my local Rohn tower dealer, RF Enterprises,
closed down. They were about 500 miles away, and in fact
the closest amateur dealer to my QTH. Shipping big stuff
was always a bit costly, but understandable, since I live
100 miles from a stop light.
Last week I ordered 120 feet of 20G (it makes great
vertical elements) from Texas Towers. On the phone I
specifically asked about how much the shipping would be,
and was told $150-$200. Sounded OK. The tower came today,
freight collect, and shipping was $409 !!! The cost of the
tower was only $540 !!! I called Texas Towers and they said
there wasn't much that could be done.
Lesson for all (at my expense) :
1) Get a firm price quote on the shipping. If it can't be
given to you, hang up the phone. There must be 150
businesses in the back of QST and CQ that sell tower.
The prices may vary a couple bucks, but you could get
burned big time. Look at me, I just paid $80 bucks a
section for Rohn 20G.
2) Shop local. Yep, Texas Towers was a bit cheaper than the
current closest dealer, but I sure look silly now.

that will be voted on soon:
Do you think the ARRL DX Contest would benefit from allowing
Contest Expeditions to DX locations to count for USA/ VE
club scores in the medium and large club size?
How would you suggest scores from DX multiops be divided
among several clubs?
What about the 160 and 10 meter contests? Would you suggest
that Contest Expeditions to DX locations count for club
scores?

I have a 3x3x5 ft hole for my Rohn 25G tower.
Locally a pea-gravel mix is available. Just add water. Is this
the "right stuff"? I sorta recall using a sand mixture last time -
about 15 yrs ago.
Pse email me directly to avoid upsetting those who don't care
about this topic.
Oh, BTW, I will answer contest calls once the tower is up.

I know this is a little late to be asking this but here it goes anyway.
The rules for this weekend's RTTY ANARTS contest were not real clear in
CQ. The times and all were fine but they state there is a complicated
scoring chart which they did not have enough room to print. If anyone has
that chart I would appreciate a copy of it. Any help in this matter would
be appreciated.

Message-ID: <199506062318.QAA06770@cascade.cmicro.com>
Bill, WB0O's story about his experience with Texas Towers reminds me of
a very frustrating experience I had with the same vendor. I called them
and asked for a 2 and a half inch pipe top section of Rohn 45. They
sent me the more common 2 inch size. When I called them about it, they
placed the blame on me since I didn't order by part number.
They made me pay for shipping both ways (until a year later when they
finally split it with me). In the end, I ordered it with my local
Rohn rep and got it from them.
It wasn't a fun experience, and I hope it won't happen to any other of
my contesting buddies.

In their defense, I've bought an KLM 6 ele Yagi, lots of mast, tower
accesories, and Create rotors from them, and never had a problem.
They were always upfront about the shipping charges - especially on the 15'
mast (!$$$!), and even offered to chop two feet off of a 10' mast (and send
THAT to me too) so I could pay the MUCH less UPS shipping charges, rather
than the Truck rates. On the Create rotors, I found a cheaper supplier
after I ordered (but before I received them) and bitched about it, and they
adjusted the price without a complaint.
On the OTHER hand, this must be a TERRIBLY boring thread for our non-U.S.
brothers and sisters, so I'll end now.
Back to soldering cables...

I went in there one Saturday morning in 1988 or so to pick up an HDR-300
for an N5AU project we were working on that day. I paid cash for virtually
everything back then, and only kept a Visa card (with a $2500 limit and a
balance of $0) for doing stuff like mail order, buying airline tickets,
renting cars and hotel rooms, and buying HDR-300s.
So when the clerk rang up the sale, he ran the Visa card through the little
striping machine, $850, waiting, waiting, waiting. No response. Hmm. Let's
try again, stripe, $850, waiting, waiting, waiting. No response. Hmm. Tap,
tap, tap. Hmm. This thing doesn't seem to be working. Fetch other clerk.
"Hey, other clerk, this thing doesn't seem to be working." So other clerk
stripes, $850, waiting, waiting, waiting. More waiting. Refused. I was
flabbergasted. "This isn't possible." So the clerk phoned in and Visa said
"Sorry. Over limit." After a moment's thought it was clear. $850 + $850 +
$850 = $2550. Of course it was over the limit!
I was furious. If it happened today, I would stay there and made a scene
until they sold me the rotator. Instead, I elected to leave and never buy
anything from them ever again. The sad thing is it was some random moronic
clerk that screwed up and soured me on the place; it had nothing to do with
Texas Towers per se. The same thing could have happened at Sears. :-)

Currently, the identical club competition rules apply across all of the
ARRL contests (160 meters to UHF). I believe this should continue.
Therefore, you are really asking if we should eliminate the 175
mile circle (i.e., by allowing contest expeditions).
I am in favor of this. A member of a club, who meets the current
requirement of two meetings per year, is still a member of that club
regardless of where they may operate from. Whether it is going from W1
to VP2 for the DX Contest, or from W1 to W6 for a VHF contest, the score
should be allowed to apply for the operator's club.
I would not like to see the club competition rules modified for each
contest. This makes it more confusing and will require even more rules
(rules to fix the rules for each contest). In addition, you would then
be required to further modify those rules about the owner of the station
also being a club member, the above mentioned 175 mile circle rule, etc.
When this subject came up at the YCCC meeting this past weekend, the
feeling was very much against allowing DXpeditions to count for club
scores. However, I believe this opinion was strictly a selfish one as
the YCCC is not known for large numbers of expeditions. Plus, the
discussion was specifically focused on the DX contest and did not
consider the impact on other contests.
Tim, thanks for making everyone aware of subjects the CAC has under
consideration.

Bob Enberg, of Anchorage, Alaska, recently asked those on the reflector
for some advice re tower cement, then added:
>Oh, BTW, I will answer contest calls once the tower is up.
"Please, Dear Lord, be with Bob as he installs his tower and antennas
-- and, also, please remind him of his promise just prior to the CW
Sweepstakes in November. Thank You."

KL7's in the 1994 SS -- but who both came up short on an actual AK
contact.)

Well, if you guys think it is expensive to have a tower sent
to you, try it over here! Anyone care to calculate the air
cargo rates?
In fairness, the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand was the
lucky recipient of a tower from VOA a few years ago. It was
due for replacement so they gave it to RAST. It is my
understanding that all RAST had to do was pay the frieght
from Udon Thani to Bangkok. Very inexpensive compared to
US rates!
