I need to offer an admission. Like most, I too deplore this ugly habit of some lids. Running in SS CW earlier this month I was called by a weak station and a very strong station. I went back to the w
You're absolutely right, Dave, and it will not happen a second time. George W1EBI I guarantee that working him at all encouraged him to do exactly the same thing again to someone else. The way to cha
I think CTRL + up/down arrow also changes bands. George W1EBI Type a frequency (in kHz) into the call sign field of the Entry Window and press Enter. You also change modes (CW/SSB/RTTY) in the call s
Pere, I got a CM500 recently as well. Thought about such a reel device, but opted for more cost-effective tie wrap around excess cord. But post if you find something. They are a very good boomset com
Somebody posted that reading or even discussing the rules for PdA is grounds for DQ. Who posted that? Oh, I did. George W1EBI Sorry Ken, Per DG's own guidance, the PDA SCoring and Monitoring (SCAM) b
"...As I read the Rules, this puts anyone using them in violation of 97.307 (a)." Yaesu has recently posted new software for the FTdx5000 to "improve the CW keying bandwidth spectrum". I will install
My CM-500 works and sounds fine with my FTdx-5000. The cloth ear pad covers from my Heil ProSet Plus fit perfectly. I got a new pair for the CM-500 and figure the ear pieces are not likely to deterio

QRU PdA K1DG George W1EBI In the interest of saving bandwidth, I propose we redefine the QRU Q-signal to mean "Rules Unfair". Usage: "QRU (contest name) (region enjoying an advantage)" Meaning: "The
H2O molecules are pretty small. I'm told that copper oxide eventually turns from green to black. I use Coax Seal, but it can be nasty to remove-- at least it seems to do its intended job. George W1EB
Same here. I thought I had lost it so I called CQ to request a replacement. They had another distribution hiccup and the March issue should arrive any day with the April issue about two weeks later.
What's up with the RDXC robot? I tried uploading my perfectly good Cabrillo log via the RDXC web page and it was rejected as an "empty file". It isn't empty. I tried sending it as an email attached f
Steve, it might have been me. I get occasional comments about sloppy or choppy CW. Operating remote, a lost packet could make me UA2EBI. I corrected a few ops coming back to me as UA2. Funny, I went
