I have a large contest station in Jamaica, 6Y1V. While I prefer to go there and operate M/S, M/2 or M/M with other amateurs, it is not possible to put a team together for every contest. It is a waste
K6AM and I are operating WPX SSB from 6Y1V next week. I need one top notch contester to join us for our M/S operation. I am willing to assist or perhaps completely pay for a ticket for the right op!
It is no wonder Scott Robins (W4PA) is always winning contests. Mr. Johnny on the spot has replied and confirmed and will be joining the 6Y1V team for WPX SSB. Thank you to all who responded. See you

Vladimir, These are great questions. I am not certain I have the answers to them all. I agree the legal issues need to be explored. I am almost certain that the Jamaican authorities (Spectrum Managem
When considering the fact that most experienced contesters make use of the RF gain control in order to reduce front end overload from strong adjacent signals, the ability to "read" the signal report
I disagree. I am surprised at the number of operators that have come to 6Y1V and INCORRECTLY accepted the default zone for stations that were actually giving a different zone than what the software
I had a KI4 work me in WPX SSB this past weekend and being a new contester I had to help him with the exchange. Several minutes later (app. 10) he called me again and asked which state I was located
Simply create a new contest altogether. Call it the International DX Skimmer Contest. It can be held every fourth Wednesday of the month to experience varying propagation changes throughout the year
When operating contests at 6Y1V, we always submit the logs exactly as they are after making the final Q. Logs are never reviewed or modified after the fact...EXCEPT, after submitting to the contest r
