I was a big gun, and am now a little pistol. 8877 in the AL 1500 is shot. Need a good cheap source for a new one...used , pull or new. Any thoughts on the Svelanas compared to EIMAC? Bill K4XS/KH7XS
Speaking selfishly, I love the activity from that PVRC being active as it is our meat and potatoes here in FL for QSOs. Sunday rates a little higher....and we all love rate! Bill K4XS/KH7XS _________
Several skinny states with large contest clubs (Florida and Tennessee for example) have lobbied for a different way to denote a club. It would seem to me a fair way to do it would be by square miles,
Not bitchin'...stating a fact. Although we have a club with over 300 members, only 200 or so can submit scores for the club total due to the current rules. No problem with competing against larger si
Some clubs may do that...we do not. It is in the best interest of contesting in general to have as many members partcipate as possible. You're suggesting that only N4WW, K1TO, K5KG, NF4A, K9ES myself
The SS can be won from just about any place east/west or north/south. I won SS phone HP in 2009 form KH6, in 2010 VY2ZM won and in 2011 W6YI did it form CA. That takes care of east, west and north. F
I won this year in SOAB U phone. CW: K1TO, N4ZZ, K4WX, NT1N, N4RJ (ALL A OR B CLASS) 90-09 CW: W2TZ, WA3DSZ, W2GD (ALL A OR B) 70-89 SSB W4AAA, K1BX, N4PN, K4VUD,N4PN, K4XS (ALL A OR B CLASS) 90-09 S
Kind of a superior attitude isn't it. You think that's all there is to getting a high score in SS phone? Yep, everybody in the top ten phone operates just that way. I'm sure N9RV, VY2ZM, KH7X, W7WA,
It can be a challenge, just like winning the ARRLDX or CQWW is from anywhere other than 1, 2 or 3 land is. However, guys in W6 land make do and have different goals other than 1st place. It can be a
You want dead time? How many casual participants will be on around 0900Z. Activity really goes down after 0700Z. Part of the strategy of the contest is deciding when to take your off times and what b
That's nice. But...what do you do for the first six hours of the contest since most people will be QRT for that. Why make a 100 Qs for 100 points when you can make 4 Qs the last hour for 120? Anyone
It seems like a couple of Russian station are cheating using the cluster. I operated AB unlimited over the weekend and was checking spots the whole weekend. As the contest progressed over the weekend
Lots of dits...not a good thing. When I used KH7XS in WPX Randy told me that one year, I had the highest amount of variations to my call in other logs. Everything was sent with the computer so it was

Charley's post about the ARRL can be applied to any contest. When I was in KH6 the WAE kinda stunk since the bands were only open a few hours to EU. Most guys in KH6 don't operate the NAQP since they
I don't know about boring. I was LP assisted in the CW and worked almost 3000 stations. Total mults were around 535. 34 were from Asia, 29 from the Pacific. Condx were good, but not great. I never ra
That's one reason I stopped doing the WAE...no more high band and low band categories. K4XS In a message dated 3/6/2013 11:57:33 P.M. Coordinated Universal Time, k5zd@charter.net writes: The high ban
With guys like us who have big stations, the certificate is not as big a deal as someone who is using a GP on 20 with 100 W. I'm a firm believer in lots of categories so the little guys can get a pie
