Anyone on this reflector have info on the latest "Woodpecker" over the horizon radar? Its making a mess of 40m CW and is gonna be real difficult to deal with in All Asian Contest this weekend. Here's
Bob somewhere very recently there was an article about this new radar. Unfortunately senility is setting in and I can't find it. What I remember is it is a project being tested by the Australian Gov'
Hi Bob, I've heard it's friendly fire. Our friends the Australians have a new toy, Over the Horizon Radar. I read this on one of the other reflectors in a message from an Aussie. I don't recall which
Makes me wonder, Mal. If the xmtrs are in the VK9C or VK9X area the bearings would be right on for the times I have heard it. Bob K8IA In a message dated 6/17/05 3:13:52 PM US Mountain Standard Time,
Mal; I have used their online recommended "Elogmaker" for 3 yrs now and havent had a problem. Really doesnt take that much more time and puts everything in the from they want it. 73, Bob K8IA _______
This has been an interesting thread to say the least! I beleive Riki has touched on some very important issues. I recall the first time I heard EI5HE come at me under some QRM. I, as a reasonably pro

Hi Bob; I don't know what "REALLY" is, but W4KFC, W9IOP and W3GRF (I think) and probably several others had you beat by about 30 years! In fact, that's as far as I go back in ham radio (mid-late 50s)
Hi Scott; Was SO2R really "developed" from an existing tules set or did it simply evolve via technology and rules interpretation? I can recall big time SSers W4KFC and W9IOP in the 50s operating what
Hee hee.....this topic is getting interesting. I can easily recall when ARRL DX Test was 2 weekends PER MODE and the real OT's can recall when it was two WEEKS long! Naw, I dont know what my point is
