So add him to your country.dat file (or whatever your logging software calls it) and recompile it, already, it will make you happy, happy. I did during the contest, (mine was a very part time effort)
Hi Dick, LU /H is the Argentine state of Cordoba, north central part of the country. Callsigns in Argentina show the state using the letter following the number. See page 17-45 in the ARRL Operating
There is something that hasn't been addressed. Be sure that the UPS is always in the circuit, not one that gets switched in when AC mains fail. That would be OK for lights, but not computers. Working
Ooops, forgot to mention, that the big UPS is only to cover a reasonable amount of time until the generators are up running and stable, and to cover the glitch in the switching. 73, Gerry K8GT we we
Uh, Ted . . . KT1V ends in a DAH (dash), so no problem, but better yet, the "1" and the "V" are mirror image complements and produce a very nice rythm. On the other hand KR1G ended in a DIT and I ima
Aw c'mon, lighten up. In the 13 or so years that I have been more or less seriously contesting, this has NEVER been a problem, either before or after Cabrillo. First of all, even if the name is the s
I agree, and for the same reasons. Most of us are collectors of one thing or another. I did notice the DF0HQ card, now that it was brought to my attention, but I had never compared them. Cool! 73, Ge
Obviously HP isn't any good for this, input and output trays are in front with only an inch or so separating. HP does work on 8.5 x 11 inch card stock (67 lb. vellum or such) but the supply tray is q

Jim, Sorry, I don't buy it. I've been a ham for 42 years and only been semi serious (can I be anything more than semi with 100 W and a multi band vertical?) contesting for 10 or 11 years. I submitted
I certainly cannot argue with the logic (and physics) presented by Tree and Tom. If the concept were true, a lot of people were not doing their job a week and a half ago for the WPX contest. Well may
We-e-e-ellll, I always learned that at the band opening and closing, that the only signals that make it through are those at very low angles, and since the stations with antenna installations capable
Ben, But why would you want to? I've found that even though the T/S group is smaller, the competition is worse. I've only had dipoles, and now a multiband vertical, and my sole aim is to stay away fr
Leave it to the good dr. B in his usually eloquent way to make us think and reflect on what's important. And that's what Dayton is all about. Looking forward to spending some time with dr. B and the
Sorry Barry, but if the multipliers are states and the state you are in is not reflected in the call area number in your call, I support the requirement that you sign portable. That's the price you p

Guess it goes something like this..... Stations aren't allowed to CQ in the 28.3-28.35 segment, and if they do, (assuming adequate enforcement) they are DQ'd, and you lose the QSO from your log. In a
Don't forget how long it takes a Windoze (TM) 'puter to reboot following a crash, or a shutdown to refuel the generator at Field Day. My vote is for DOS, your choice TR, CT, or my favorite, NA, for q
Tony and Jim, et all, Sign me up! I took my first trip outside the U.S. last CQWW CW to PJ2T at 57 (almost 58) and have my plane tickets for this fall already. I have only been seriously contesting f
