I would like to thank Jay for his valuable assistance last night without it I might still be pulling out my hair. On Thursday, I called Jay and ordered a Stackmatch. It arrived Monday. Tuesday, got h
This is fine as long at the station notes each power level for each contact!! I also ran into the same issue with a station. He gave me 59 100. Later in the test on the same band he was 59 99. Now if
Penalies should only be for intentional deception. Miscopying a number should not be. I don't agree. A miscopied report is a blown contact period. The object is to exchange information not you send y
I was just looking at the International radio page and they have a mod for the 1000MP. We now have a mod for the FT-1000MP: a small 70MHz I.F. amplifier. It boosts the front-end gain a few dB. The IF
Well an overwhelming majority like the Mod. Only one reply said the difference was hard to discern. I have ordered one and can't wait to get it installed. I am also signed up to the 1000mp list. I ju
I also wish everyone would send their call after every contact, but some of these suggestions are just silly. Penalizing a station for not sending his call? How are you going to enforce that? Many op
If you are not submitting the log what's the big deal? If I get on for a few hours I want to be loud and work as many people as possible. I would guess that most of the casual ops did not even know t
I would support the 100W class and QRP. I think most rigs can be toned down to 100 watts. Whether anyone will or not is another topic. Mike W0MU -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-co
I have run rates of over 300 from V47 on numerous occasions in the early 80's using paper. I did not care about dupes and had plenty. I am convinced that if you cannot type paper will be faster. Mike
It depends on the contest. For pileups and DX contests I prefer the Heil 4 element. For Domestic contests I like the 5 element. I use the headsets instead of a desk mic. Keeps everything out of the w
I was dismayed to find that my score was also missing from the results. I received confirmation that my logs were received. Although I did not finish in the top 10 it is nice to see that my efforts w
So if I take W4AN's comments correctly the league was aware of the problem and failed to notify the participants. I guess it is too much to ask for them to publish a list of received logs? Too much t
I have to agree with Dale. Before computers we sat down and duped the logs again after the contest just to be sure. We almost always found more dupes. This also gave us the chance to fix penmanship i

1. Pretty basic first question, what's the strategy for operating with two stations? Running and picking up mults, or just trying to run on two different bands? check the band they are on from time t
I will be QRV from KP2 during the contest. I will be doing a single 15 unless the band is hammered. I will probably show up on 80 and 160 for a some Q's. Listen good. Only 100 watts! 73 GL in the TES
Reflections from the ARRL DX SSB TEST and the FT-1000MP...... Overall I would have to say this is the best radio I have used to date. I was able to copy very weak signals through some nasty QRM. With
