I left WE9A's station about 2200z for a Christmas Party, & had about 500 Q's in the log, even split between SSB & CW. Has a 149/hr at 2000Z. In the morning, I heard a few W1/W2 while pointing 140, an
You are only bound by the FCC rules. AMEN, BROTHER!! Can't find something else to talk about, instead of re-hashing this same dry crap over and over once or twice a year?? 73-Chuck KI9A _____________
I think I'd rather be "@" the couch. "@" the NFL playoffs. Do any of these hot-shots ever operate @home @a station that they had to build and pay for? Wow. Kind of a bitter post I'd say! At least the
I would think that at least one of these guys who can't operate at home for whatever reason would just toss a random wire out the window and finish in the top 5 using their superior skills I was righ
Why not just define 'wires only" as a half wave dipole, or vertical, No rhombics. No VEE beams, ect. It can be spelled out in the rules...I, for one, agree with a wires only. The TB/single element in
wonder how many people would expect to be able to take their 1996 Impala to Daytona and beat Jeff Gordon? Or show up at Augusta and win The Masters? Or face off against Kobe and win? Or take their us

OK..FD isnt a contest, right? (hehe). So, a guy doesn't want to go to a 100 degree tent and operate, so he gets on at home to give points out. Assume they rule D stations can't CQ....what happens if
Hmmm...I just changed my 434 jumpers from Yaesu to ICOM, now the dang thing won't key the rig. Checked all jumpers, including the mic voltage jumpers. After playing with the thing, the manual says no
There's deleting uniques by suspicion, and raising suspicion by uniques. The practice, or possibility of a practice of simply deleting uniques from a log simply because of their uniqueness is plain w
IC746 receiver doesn't handle contest band conditions and IM very well Wow...I just sold my FT-1000MP MKV Field, with the INRAD roofing filter because, to my ears, the 746 handled contest condx, and
Anyone else notice this aging by-product? Not yet...but, I did the same thing with RUFZ, and found it was my non-existent typing skills. Seeing my UBN's were almost the same in both CW & SSB, I decid
Most little pistols might work the same, loud, super-station on all 6 bands for zone/country totals...Why not? I agree with Kelly, he with the largest net, catches the most fishes... ________________
Wow Bill, If you were at N0NI, I'm sure a low power signal from there, would seem like a 1kw signal to a dipole anywhere else! Who was it from? What did it say? When you sign your name that you opera
I missed AK, MB and YT... never ever HEARD the last tow, but heard several AK stations but all were S&Ping (so to speak). I worked FIVE KL7's. With 600 watts, and a 25' A3 tribander, from IL. Never,
Guys I bought a new-old-stock ICOM EX-309 computer interface board, that allows the ICOM 740-745-751 series rigs to be computer controlled. But, after getting the thing on EBAY (not here yet), it see
If you banish the distinction between the two - you have now put the top operators into the position of having to adopt the technology in order to not lose to other top operators who are adopting Tre
2. I'm not sure, but it seems to me that the DX stations are not IDing as frequently as they did before Packet. You got that right! In fact I was going to propose that unassisted stations be allowed
