I'm pretty sure they're from that Danish record from the 80's that featured all ham radio songs. They advertised it with pictures of themselves standing on towers wearing tuxedos. Look in an old ham
Actually it's really good practice to get up to speed for an upcoming contest. You can listen to a cassette whilst driving around and get your code speed up as well as picking calls out of the pileup
Hi, all -- I've got a 940 that I was hoping to get compatible with CT, TR, etc. I've got the Kenwood interface. Is there another unit I need and what is it? I seem to remember there's some sort of le

Actually Rich, N6KT, was the first to do it several years ago in the ARRL DX SSB from the TI2CF station (don't remember his contest call - TI2C?). If Jeff did it, then he would be the second person t
Recently someone was asking about the Ham Fair in Friedrichshafen. Here's a website with links: http://www.messe-fn.de/common/dates.php3 This is approximately 2 weeks before the WRTC2000 in Slovenia.
junk 8.8 Yikes - I actually agree with Yuri. The IRC filters made my 940 a *new and improved* radio. I highly recommend them. Cheers, Steve K7LXC Tower Tech Champion Radio Products -- CQ-Contest on W
I checked it out and the recordings are pretty cool. And pretty danged depressing to us Left Coast guys. Somebody put me out of my misery. Cheers, Steve K7LXC Tower Tech -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://
Good post and tnx for the insights. For those of us that have been contesting for a couple of decades, your insights were refreshing and right on. It's real easy to get bogged down in the minutia - e
Was it on a *very* prominent hilltop with a big building (radar site) nearby? If so, that's Dave Leeson, W6NL (ex-W6QHS's) place. It's on the cover of his yagi design book and is subject to BIG winds
That's not a contact - you didn't exchange the necessary information to qualify as one. You cracked the pileup but it's not a contest contact. Next time say something like, "Can I use your number one

Great question! I'd spend any new funds on antennas. If you've got a trap-tribander, replacing it with something like a C-3/4 will add a bunch of performance to your operation (the numbers are in our
That's why there is a new Q signal: QDC? What's your damn call? Actually I intentionally dupe these jerks. Why should I be the only one whose time is wasted? Cheers, Steve K7LXC -- CQ-Contest on WWW:
One circuit of 220 will probably do it if you don't plan on any multi-op adventures. I'd put in at least 2 if not 3 circuits of 110. It's real simple now but will be a real bear if you want to add th
<< Having roomed with the man before, I guess I shouldn't talk......heah, someone out there take advantage of this opportunity to multi-op with N2AA - you could even get yourself one of those 1999 Ha
Funny you should ask. N0AX and myself have tested a dozen HF tribanders for on-the-air performance and published the results; they were presented at Dayton last month. The 80-page book is availalbe f
Actually the problem started with Bill Bennett, W7PHO, and his Family Hour DX Net where he asked specifically for the "last two" and encouraged it. "The station ending in" might 9DX or Bravo Victor

No huh involved. You might be a *real* 5 by 9 but if he's got a 40 db over or more adjacent signal (and who doesn't?), you will probably need to repeat some info. Happens ALL the time. Those who can
