I found that to be very true this weekend: (polar path) + pretty unique suffix (AAA) =able to break many pileups easily. Pretty large pileups on my end -- always easy to pick out high-side or low-sid
I agree, Matt! I made a bunch of meteor QSOs that way this weekend, in the 40 wpm range. My average speed was 32, slow for me. If I needed to QRS, I did. And, Joe, I agree with you that LIDs who don'
Hey Sean, Not much different from 6m, except the "burns" are longer. Meteors are falling all the time. Of course, during the showers, many more pings. Power is your friend. So is a directional antenn
Hi Ron, No, WA1BXY is another fellow. KN1GUN is licensed to his location. I wrote WA1BXY yesterday, and here was his reply: " He holds a USA call, yes with my address but does not reside here. I have
He has now removed his QRZ KN1GUN and DJ7MH QRZ pages. Poof! Sunlight is the best medicine. Remember the call guys. When you find him S9 on the west coast on 160 meters 2.5 hours before sunrise -- ca
For those reading my prior post, REMOTEHAMS.COM IS NOT REMOTEHAMRADIO.COM. RemoteHamRadio.com is the above-board Remote Station business run by W2RE, WW2DX and company. They will not allow you to ope
Hey Mike, These are interesting questions. I have the following opinions (which may be fundamentals for most of you guys, but will share anyway) - Never send faster than you can comfortably copy - Al
Oh... and I AGREE with others to NEVER change speed during part of an exchange. If you want to slow down, slow down the whole thing. Gerry W1VE _______________________________________________ CQ-Cont

I believe Sterling is looking for an end-user solution. The problem with running telnet on port 80 is that it is the well-known http port. You can telnet to http and vice versa, but it would not be m
I have found a free VPN that can run using https protocol (and other methods), which means that it cannot be blocked (unless you want to block secure web sites!). I use it a lot for WAN networking of
None of the RFCs are enforced, but yet they are standards. Port 80 telnet servers are blocked by good corporate firewalls, because they look at contention just port. Thats why I mentioned https SoftE
Agreed. The policies change over time. Im on 300 MB consumer cable service. A VPS can be rented for a $1-$3 a month that will run a bunch of ham-related services, so thats the easy way to get open IP
Well, when they sent the inter-planetary explorers out, we did not have the technology to talk to them where they are now. Before we had SSB, we talked to many on AM in a solar minimum. Technology wi
My biggest issue with the Crowne Plaza is that it is a total dump. The food is terrible, the facilities down-trodden. The rooms are "OK", but, as a frequent IHG traveler, this Crowne Plaza is nowhere
I am sad to report that my dear friend J Allan, VY1JA, is having many health difficulties and has retired from ham radio. J's final QSO was with KA4UPI on September 14. He has uploaded his log to LoT
Yes! I will be on for CW and SSB SS. This will be the last time 73 Gerry W1VE/VE1RM Trustee VY1AAA _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com ht
Hey Hans, J is retired from ham radio. His plans were to take the station down immediately. However,Ann and J run a goat farm. They have an opportunity to get some help from the government, which req
I am happy to report that the Alpha 9500 at VY1JA's place is repaired and back in service. This SS CW and SSB will be the last operations before J starts to take the station apart. Station Compliment
Thank you, Mike, for your kind words. It's been a team effort to keep the remote functional and operational -- especially J keeping all the tech working at his QTH. Over the years, it's been a crew..
