8Q7DV was booming through on 40 at 1:45 local Sunday afternoon in Florida. Hard to work him though with 700w and a DX-88. Heard a few 'northern' W1's work him though. Marty W1MD _____________________
Hmmmmmm What if you look at the spectrum as 1.8 - 30mhz. One station cq'ing on two frequencies is using twice the spectrum. Regardless of the 'band' you are on. Riiiight?? :) SO2R operators effective
Not the issue. SO2R wouldn't be on a second frequency if it were not producing contacts. SO2R operators have twice the spectrum use of SO1R. THAT is the advantage. Why do multi ops exists? To sit on
That's not using two frequencies?? A good SO2R is cqing on one freq and either dueling CQs on a second freq or working multi. If time right transmits and receives make this a finely choreographed dan

I should take the better part of (fill in your favorite adjective here) and not reply because this really doesn't deserve reply. But, I feel I must. First...I'm not much of an 'expert' on CQ-Contest
What??? Benefit Multi's (and it's only Multi-2's really that are hit with this) how?? If you are inside the 10min band change window your choices are: 1. Delete the Q's...cleans your log but hurts th
Mike I would appreciate a little clarification here...since you are 'admittedly' a black and white kind of person. 1. Are you saying that "I" and PJ4X knowingly violated the rules every year!!?? 2. I
Q: I made a mistake in logging and do not want a QSO to count. Should I remove it from my log? No, please do not remove any QSOs from your log! This will cause the other station that worked you to l
One correction Art. There WAS one year that the PDA sponsor did not win. I know....I was one of the three amigos who bought and paid for our win...fair and square. W1MD-k1QX-K1XX Marty W1MD _________
