CW is NOT a sub-band; phone is. CW is allowed everywhere on the ham bands below 30MHz; phone is restricted, usually starting 100kHz up (and outside of the USA usually by gentlemen's agreements [de fa

My circa-1988 PK-232 got zapped. Anybody have a PK-232 to sell? I'd prefer a later version that works with AEA's Windows-based software, but the earlier DOS version will do fine. Yes, I'm aware of it

The robot claims my log is not in Cabrillo format, but it is. This happened for the RTTY submittal too. So I sent it to ssb-problems@cqww.com and I get back the reply that there's no mailbox by that

Eric, Your power classification is based on transmitter power, not ERP or EIRP. Wish it were the latter. My 100W to an attic dipole probably has less "oomph" than 5W to a large Yagi at 75 feet, yet w

I have a zero-land call, but currently reside in 3-land. Although not required by the rules to sign portable, I wonder if there are advantages to signing portable anyway. For one thing, especially in
Noise/Com in Paramus, NJ also makes the noise generator/notch for performing NPR. It's probably less expensive than HP/Agilent, but probably more expensive than hams would want to spend. 73 Bob AA0CY
Most (perhaps all) Moslem (Muslim) and/or Arab countries will not permit QSO's with 4X. When I lived in Israel in the early 1980's I remember my 4X license prohibited QSO's with most (perhaps all) Ar
