really missing... for FREE! BEWARE!!! From personal experience circa 7/16/05, the N1MM Installation Procedures are whacked-out vs. reality on an XP machine, and results in unnecessary CONFUSION to th
You have nicely clarified the precise benefits to all participants that AL, 4L5A/D4B and I mentioned. Thank You. Mr. Wardster, N0AX, commented: Methinks the contest sponsors and admins need to FULLY
Congrats, OM. BTW, your "next contest" (opportunity) is sooner than you think...it's this Thursday Night...the NCCC NS :-) See N6ZFO's post with the details. Or, click here: http://www.nccc.cc/pdf/ns
The problem is NOT with my new computer. FYI, I just got this direct from yet another contester: Pete, N4ZR, commented: IMHO, most folks simply do not report problems, abandon the attempted install a
KZ5D commented in his 3830 score post: early. Would we consider starting an hour earlier during the declining sunspots period? A great idea. IMHO, two hours earlier would be even better. Side benefit
All this talk about footswitches has triggered old memories... I thought Jim Neiger's eyeballs were going to pop out the first time we met circa 1963 or so. He came over to my parent's house (rig in
Why on earth were these two contests scheduled for the same weekend? Can anything be done to P-R-E-V-E-N-T this from happening next time? 73... Rick, K6VVA ___________________________________________
Tnx so much for the idea, John. I own some property in New Mexico I've been paying taxes on for years and never seen. Dunno if it's a Contest-Friendly QTH or not, but now I think I'll find out :-) 73
Just when you think you've heard it all. Only dabbling in the last 10m contest, there was a CX station that I observed 2 or 3 different times only giving the callsign ID every TEN QSOs or so. Other D
Amen & Amen. I neglected to mention that during previous listening, there were other times when I heard the 3G0 only ID once per 10 QSOs, and then of course this created the standard additional, unne
A very appropriate example of "Good Contesting QRV", especially since Jim Neiger & I have been good friends for over 40 years & he is one of the main reasons I am QRV in contesting again after 30 yea
IMHO, that sounds very defeatist, Art. unfair. It may waste contest. That's almost like saying if you're on one football team and "Moon" the crowd, you get fined...but if you're on the other team, y
Bravo, and Tnx for speaking up, Jim. IMHO, the lack of sufficient callsign ID frequency further penalizes the "legitimate UN-Assisted/NO-Packet" ops, and is an additional reason for some action in t
To the best of my knowledge, there are no "first in, first out" rules for pile-ups. The closest thing would be when a DX station is specifically working by call areas. QRP & Low Power ops get a break
2005 is the year for me to get serious about SO2R, and I have several questions regarding the following "stuff" in a configuration (especially parallel vs. serial port connectivity) before I finalize
WOW...TNX for the multitude of direct responses. I'm following up with several folks on the specific equip. config, and will advise those who have requested to be kept in the info loop when it's all

(Re-Titled) Tnx again to all who responded. The SO2R Config Mystery has been (partially) solved...at least now knowing one reason why I've been running around in circles here (Tnx to Jim, N3BB & othe
and this I discovered this *after* choosing a KP2 club call which is toooooo #&^! long ;-( quickest I'd love to operate a contest as "E5E" ... most likely THEE shortest callsign on the planet :-) FYI
