And once you've done that and the station doesn't ID, what do you do then? Get the call before the exchange or you may never get the QSO...sure the other guy may lose credit, but so what? You've more
I checked out their site. They've got a picture of a radio with two large LED digits reading "19", with a frequency readout of "29.4351"! A lot of these rigs are advertised as having 10 and 12 meter
I thought I was the only one who thought this...that's likely the main reason I don't operate it. That, and the QSY rule really sucks on SSB... 73 de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgia -- The
I don't know about one baud, but you can set up a programmable PTT delay in TR...the program will hit the PTT line and wait before sending. Works great. 73 de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgi
First, if you need a fill, you've got to be *quick* on the trigger about asking. Any pause is going to be interpreted as an "R" or dit that wasn't heard. Instead of sending NR? NR? NR?, get the guy's
Many times. It's not as common as it used to be, I agree, but I still hear it occasionally. It doesn't really bother me all that much though. 73 de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgia "Have Dob
Probably more than you realize. Your reputation precedes you. No. Not IMO. 73 de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgia "Have Dobro Will Travel" _______________________________________________ CQ-
Or may not....man I hope it's that ZIP-code contest I've been waiting years for.... -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgia "Have Dobro Will Travel" _______________________________________________ CQ-C
Probably because back in W4KFC's time the internet wasn't around to whine on... 73 de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgia "Have Dobro Will Travel" ______________________________________________
Yes...I remember when ARRL took over publication of the NCJ...one of my great fears was that they would move the contest reporting from QST to NCJ. I was assured that this would not happen, that the
Hey Y'all... In anticipation of the new 40 meter band and the abolition of code requirements internationally, I've purchased a voice keyer - the MFJ434. Anything to watch out for on how to incorporat
I don't know what the NA box does, but for a long time I got by just fine using a homemade RX switcher made from a guitar switch (nice big handle) that allowed Left only, Right only, or Both in my he
No, it seems you weren't caught. Didn't you say that your log reflected sent reports, but you added a narrative comment that you didn't sent a report unless requested? If so, you submitted a false lo
Hmm. Seems like the ARRL will be making money off my data...perhaps they should pay me to upload my logs. 73 de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgia -- The world's top contesters battle it out i
Exactly the way they're doing it - by charging for the product. They're not getting any of those things free (well, I think some of the development work was done on a volunteer basis) - why should th
Ah, but often in those condx, I hear "crashbangQRMcrash 72?"...so I send "472A" because I want to make sure you've got it....if I hear the whole thing, then I'd send "R". 73 de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4G
I usually say "NIL", but if it's no mult, I don't get too crazy over it...if it's a mult, I try real hard to make the guy work me again. Sometimes, I'll just let it go entirely, satisfied in the know
OK, so what if I go to the Caribbean, don't ask anyone to spot me, don't have any "understanding", but some wellmeaning fellow club members take it upon themselves to spot me every five minutes. I ha
So, you're saying that the club member, who apparently operated in a vacuum (and I don't think that happens much), is guilty of cheating? For something he has no knowledge of or control over? Wow. --
At least for this running...next time get the date change done farther in advance: Have CW sprint both weekends. Really...call whichever one you want the "official" one, but everybody who can get on
