Hello... Anybody using such a combination? If so, what are you doing about the boom truss? Is the truss really necessary? TIA...Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, GA aa4ga@contesting.com I don't belie
Obviously, all-band would be preferred. Why? Because it gives us in the states more opportunity for the 9G multiplier on multiple bands of course!! GL de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, GA mailto:a
Well, I've had to tell less experienced ops (say, at FD) not to log W4KFC because he's a SK, but as we all know, W4KFC is a legit call again. So, while K7RA has not yet been reissued, it will be at s
Since it was issued, they should take it off the market for 2 years like any other vacated call...then we could all have another shot at it in Oct. 98. I _was_ gonna send my club call request in toni
W4WA saw his new call assignment on the net and called the FCC to find out. They said he could go ahead and use it before he had the paper in hand, but to my mind, that doesn't seem proper. Of cours
^^^^^^^ My family members don't like it when I call CQ...especially in a contest...they sure aren't gonna do it! HoHo...Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, GA mailto:aa4ga@contesting.com
In past years when this has happened to me, for fun I'd sometimes say something like: "OK W7ABC 1A Georgia" "2A Washington" "W7ABC Thanks QRZ Field Day K7AW" And take the frequency. Mean, I know. :)
Howdy... I thought I might actually operate a contest for a change, and was getting some stuff together this past weekend in anticipation of the IARU, when I discovered my ol' reliable TS440 has appa
Every time I work this contest I work folks that don't know their zone. Let's say a W1 calls and tells me he's in zone 5. I ask "what's your QTH?" "Maine" "OK, that's ITU zone 8" "No, I'm in zone 5"
Yes, it was mentioned a few months back that the results were being eliminated from QST for financial reasons, but the announcement in ARLB046 stated: "the Board agreed that the ARRL Web site now pro

It may *seem* non-political, but that would be a naive observation. Why not embrace the different events for what they are, instead of constantly trying to make arbitrary changes? If you implement th
Over the years I've figured out that is often the case, and almost always send the fill as NR & PREC...I've even programmed a message memory that way. 73 de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgia
Often when I'm CQing people will call off-frequency...sometimes the only reason I know they're calling is that they use my call before the exchange. Otherwise, they're so far off it seems like they'r
Computers: 1) Loggers 2) The internet that lets people bitch about it. Sorry for the subject change. 73 de Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgia "Have Dobro Will Travel" _________________________
But that doesn't mean they can't. Per 6.1 Bill quoted above, it would seem to be OK for a US station to CQ in the "window"...the violators would be the US stations that answer those CQs. -- Lee Hiers
The reports on 3830 are whatever is reported by the participants....sometimes that is not a category that exists in the contest. 3830 is for preliminary score reporting...it's not the official contes
By this logic, one would be required to send only the callsigns indicated in the example. How much sense does that make? I believe the rules as originally quoted are adequately clear. Man, we need so
-- Shouldn't it be logarithmic? Inverse square law and all that... I say leave as-is as-is. If you want a distance-based contest, come up with one a la SPTBDC for HF. It seems to have become popular.
In addition as each maiden head is a multtiplier, also they determine I'd have to look at a grid square map, but wouldn't that make EU QSOs to W1 and W6 worth the same? That's not what they seem to b
