Greetings Ken and the group, I recall seeing a number of spots which include a note for the op's club, especially if it's a dxpedition. This seems to occur frequently, so is it bad, I'm not sure...it
Hi Scott and everyone, I believe the rationale behind not changing the weekends, is that those particular holidays are only holidays in the US. These are world-wide contests with participants from al
Hi Pete, I've rarely found any activity there. Since the mults are like SS (once per contest), you can really work 40 (for6 pointers) and 20 for runs... 15/80 maybe 10% of the time for me. Good luck
Bravo Barry, sounds like Judy has contest potential. I would say FD is a great place to get YLs and others into contesting. It's sort of a non-competitive way to get started. As for YLs specifically,
Hello, I'm in London for 2 weeks and would like to guest op or join a multi anywhere nr London or south England area for CQWW SSB. Cheers and 73, Darrell AB2E ________________________________________
Hello, After CQWW last night, I noticed my IC756 Pro II is only putting out a max of 75 Watts on most bands. Has anyone had this experience? Is there an internal adjustment for power out? Has anyone
Hello Everyone, Thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions or a similar experience. Several of you asked me to post the solution, so here it is. I recently had the rig on a flight from EU, and I
Hello, Did anyone QSL 4U1UN from the CQWW CW operation in 1994? If so, what route did you use? Alternately, does anyone have the 1994 CQWW CW results listing which would list the operator for 4U1UN i
Hi all, I think it was in his posting on 3830, the fact that he decided to S&P because he could keep the rate higher. 73 Darrell AB2E _________________________________________________________________
Very FB Doug, looks very promising. 2 boxes, 32lbs total in a compact configuration. Looks like it could easily fit in a custom case. Did you notice they will have an accessory for auto-band switchin
Hi All, I would recommend a USB mini-keyboard (that's what it's listed as but it has full-size keys). I bought it over a year ago, took it to V26E and used with my 11in Aspire laptop. It's a nice sma
Hi Everyone, I came across this interesting and timely CNN article on Socotra Island. http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/04/travel/socotra-island-yemen-wildlife/index.html?iref=obinsite 73 Darrell AB2E _____
Hi Everyone, Anyone who worked me for my end of May trip as V26E should be able to find their QSLs in LoTW. I uploaded 5500+ QSOs today (both general and contest QSOs), and already I see over 700 QSO
Hello, Would like to hear from anyone also using this combination (DBS-1 band decoder w/ICE419 filter box). I am setting them up for SO2R with a Sixpak. Using with IC756Pro III and FT-1000D. All seem
I think Kelly has a very good point here about maintaining certificates for the first-time winners. In my early contesting years, it was really great to get a certificate for something in the mail (s
Hi all, If anyone would happen to have 2 sets of Icom cables for the YCCC SO2R box they no longer need, I would like to buy them (IC-7800 and IC-756Pro III....I think they are the same). Contact me o
Greetings All, I guess I don't spot as much, but whenever I am S&Ping and I come across a station not in the band map I definitely make a point to spot them. I have noticed what could be a small prob
Sorry to report that Richard K3IPK became a Silent Key this past Saturday. Many of you have worked Richard from home as K3IPK but many more should remember him from the early '90s from his many dxped
Hi Ria and group, Yes it can do that. With the new RCU it has that feature with a builtin port on the rcu. It works on the old rcu with a cable (DB9 as I recall but only 3 wires are used) and can tra
