Chuck, you really hit the nail on the head. I used to listen to and occasionally chat with WA4D back in the mid-80's when he was active on the HF bands. Mike, got all of his mileage from the people w
Seems like the better tradeoff would be to delete a paragraph of text and add in a box for the DX guys instead deleting the QRP people. Adding some incentive for the DX folks would be a good thing. B

Yes, I noticed the same thing, Jim. WA6MME told me he was getting an error message when he tried to post, but when I checked the ECFS his comments where in there. And here I thought that the ECFS wor
Yeah, and 3 nights ago, the K index was 1 for the first time in weeks. All the Euros were real loud here in W6 on 20 and 17 meters even with my dummy load antennas at the home QTH (trapped vertical a
Has anyone had any luck getting decent audio from the stock electret microphone element in the David Clark H10-40 Headset? I got decent audio from mine using my Ten-Tec Paragon, but when I tried it w
Mike, You can get the mic jacks from the RF connection: http://www.therfc.com/micconn.htm The 3/16PJ Drake/Collins Mic Jack is the one you want. I mounted the jack in a small plastic case along with
Kelly, I think taping a contest is perfectly fine as long as one doesn't replay the tape until after the log is turned in. Although I have never done it, I think it would be interesting to go back an
That's funny when I told a friend that I was thinking of running 8/3 or 6/3 to my shack, he scoffed and asked why I was bothering with such small wire. He recommened that I go with at least #1AWG co
Its too bad that the FCC jumped the gun with the 5 wpm extra class. With the new international regs eliminating the CW requirement on HF, I think a good compromise would be to eliminate the CW requir
That's not really Rohn, Jeff. Its Michael Landa at Landa and Associates. No real connection as far as I can tell (Landa is in the surplus and used tower business). Mike, W4EF................... http:
I think what would be helpful to everyone, is if each person stated his QSLing policy on his QRZ.COM listing. If you require greenbacks instead of IRCs, if you QSL only via the buro, if you don't ans

I don't think that is correct. While it is true that according to DXCC rules that you can get DXCC credit for contacts made by a guest operator who is using your call at your station, it is not true

Ed, that is not correct. I think you are mixing up LSB and USB. A USB signal with the suppressed carrier at 21200.5 KHz would be legal so long as the opposite sideband rejection of the stations trans
Yes, and faking two Jupiter sized "naked-eye" sunspots wouldn't exactly be trivial either. I think I'd rather fake a moon landing :):) Mike, W4EF........................... -- The world's top contest
This happens sometimes when someone sends the number back to me followed by a ? (like in Pete's "472?" example), but the QRM/QRN takes them out, so I am not sure if they sent "471?", "472?", or "480?
