Has anyone on the list used the Yaesu FT991 or FT891 in a contest? Does the advertised 3khz roofing filter in these radios really make a difference in contest conditions? Does it really act like a na
Wow, that is sure sad to hear. I could usually count of him to give me the LA multiplier on a couple of different bands. 73 John AF5CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest maili
There are some pretty big gun and very active contest stations on that list. Was this published on April 1? 73 John AF5CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Co
I am not a serious contester but enter many of the larger contests, and I don't have the ability to audio record my activity. Guess I will be DQed if I accidently win a catetory. 73 John AF5CC ______

And self-spotting IS ALLOWED in VHF contesting, and guess what? VHF contesting has not gone to heck in a handbasket! 73 John AF5CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing l
That is definitely I suggestion/plan I might be interested in. I live in a pretty small city lot and want to improve my 80 meter signal, but the wife has turned most of the very small backyard into a
Here is what the rules say, cut and pasted from the actual CQWW contest rules: "Any single operator entrant (see V.A.1) competing for a top three finish at the (a) World, (b) Continent, or (c) USA le
Suppose we change the rules to allow self spotting in the assisted category. What might be the downsides of that? 73 John AF5CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list
And if they did shut it down, then it would interfere with the Assisted categories. 73 John AF5CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com htt
Hi Joe,, W4RT did make a filter board that allowed you to run both a narrow CW filter and a narrow SSB filter on the 718. If you had to choose only one, I would go with the CW filter as it will make
"For a general competitor one does need to meet a minimum time to qualify but the bar is pretty low and adjusted with age. Something like 3.5 hours to run a 26.2 mile course for someone in their 40s.
I am looking to get an HF and 6 meter radio with a 3khz or narrower roofing filter to use in the shack, and also small enough to take mobile with me. These are 2 radios that I know will fit in the mo
I AGREE! There are especially too many operators on from North Korea. They are even clogging up .52 simplex here. 73 John AF5CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list
That was the April 2015 issue, maybe that was the ARRLs "April Fools" article for that year! 73 John AF5CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contestin
You bring up a good point about digital modes Tor. From watching the DX cluster, it seemed that quite a few stations probably spent most of the contest on 50.276 running JT65. Also, how do you keep f
In one ARRL contest, I don't remember which, I busted a call so I got penalized for that, as I should have. However, I busted it my by putting down another contest entrant's call, so I received anoth
I just purchased a used (obviously) Yaesu FT1000 on ebay and it is supposed to be here next week! I am looking for a microphone to use with it that will give the most "punch" to the audio. I am not l
