Anyone know the dates of Friedrichshafen and what CONTEST activities they might have planned? Quite a bit of contest related stuff last year that I missed because I was not aware of it in advance. An
Jay, I know Bob Cox and I (and others) have talked about virtual certificates for at least a couple of years, and it is clear that the interest continues to build. I am fairly confident that the numb
Need a room at Friedrichshafen convention--willing to share something close to site with a contester or DXer or ?? I normally stay at a very nice place, but it is quite a way from the convention site
I have been asked about using an Omni VI with an Alpha 87A. Suppossedly, rumor has it there are some issues with this combo when using QSK causing shortening the CW characters. It is my understanding

Dear Contesting Community, A few years ago I became frustrated with the slow response time with CQ on their certificates. Rather than just complaining, I decided to try and help. I was semi-retired a
Just a few final thoughts. I received quite a few nice notes about my posting. Some of the replies were on the reflector but most of them were private notes. I appreciate the kind words and will try
Echoing Trey's comments I would suggest the secret to winning is to pick the contest/band/mode, maximize your station, and sharpen up your skills. Colorado may not be the blackest of black holes-- b
Ari, The comparison is interesting but I was surprised not to see W0UN (George, W0UA, op) listed. George did a very nice single-20M effort from here, resulting in 1576 QSOs with 105 countries. The 4
Dear Contesters, I have had a couple of inquiries about the truth of the rumor that seems to be propagating on the east coast that Alpha/Power is out of business! Friends thought that since I was in

Yuri, I believe that if a DX Window has been established it should be respected by all hams because I believe that hams are ladies and gentlemen until proven otherwise. BUT (and that is a very large
FAR from Colorado is the answer! An A index of 36 at the start of the test does not make for any fun on 40M phone. Yeah, George worked Europe--twice on scatter! At least we made WAC the first night!
In my multiop contest station I plan on having one computer run Geoclock and some propagation program to be determined. These will probably run in separate windows (in OS/2) and I would like to pipe
Just saw this on the VHF reflector. Guess it might be possible to REALLY own 14.150.5. Think I will start getting my bids in for the best freqs, since I didn't blow all of my resources by chasing a n
CT9.27 just crashed and can't find a way to fix it The error is "A page fault has occured due to insufficient memory" "error code =0006g" plus a bunch of other stuff. This occurs whenever I try to re
I am taking this back to CQ-contest, where it really belongs. This has nothing to do with the rules--only with the efficiency of the operator. If both parties understand that cut numbers are just ano
Fred--pretty busy so I just threw a few words on the computer without editing much--hope this info helps your quest for ZERO interaction (just say NO?) The question is: For switching stubs in and out
And the real bargain for coax cable cutters is the Radio Shack "Precision Coax Cable Cutter" at $5.99 (#278-244) Works surprisingly well for its size and price. I have bigger ones that cost $20-$30
Mick, I can understand about certificates being a big task, there being so many to make in a year with all of the various contests, etc. And it is a financial loser. But if you are going to make a pr
