Interesting, Ken.... Just to clarify a bit further, I'm going to assume this means that you CAN operate from a different country than the physical station, and that you CAN receive trophies or certif
Hi Jeff, " If the remote station is controlled by a local ham, AND a third party agreement exists between the two countries or provides specifically for remote operating from outside, then it *MIGHT*
Hey Zack, I was the only CW Guy at my FD -- I made 550 CW and 200 SSB QSOs on 40m, with the rest of the entire FD operators making 1300 QSOs on all the other bands. It was great to hear so much CW ac
Getscores is still there, fully functional... It has been working just fine. Lots of people in our club still use it. I've not been doing much "ra-ra" for getscores on this reflector because the mana
Felipe, It is very easy to post -- If your logger supports it, it is simple. The posting process is the same for both sites. What do you mean by "Hiding the operation progress?" Do you mean, don't po
IMHO, many of the non-signers are not at the top of this game. If you are spotted wrong, the lack of sending a callsign will lead to many NILs or Dupes in logs... that does not help with a winning sc
very narrow APF filter on the FT1K Mark 5 I was using. Effective bandwidth was very narrow.. Say, 200Hz or so. Even when the pile is big, I just rock the PBT a bit to find guys. Still, only one probl
But the story does not answer my question: In those days, they did not use International Morse Code (what we use today), they used "American" Morse Code... All of the land-line telegraphy in those da
Jim, Phone contests are much more challenging than CW. People imply that, simply by the fact that it is CW that it is harder. If you, by definition, are not an experienced CW op, contesting is going
Hi Hans... I would agree that it is a one-of-a-kind contest where op skill determines much of the outcome. I had forgotten about section count changes... So that nullifies my argument about records..
They are probably the nearly the same as this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130545242235?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 A mau _________________ Topband Reflector
It's just decoding a wrong call. W4KAZ <http://www.reversebeacon.net/qrz/rbn/W4KAZ> W1VE<http://www.reversebeacon.net/qrz/rbn/W1VE> 3553.9 CW CQ32 dB 23 wpm 0006z 17 Feb I was at operating at K1LZ at
Excellent Pete! I am wondering the same thing. When I was having trouble finding a clear freq on 40 in CQWW CW, I went S&P and had rates from 120-190/hr. My trick was to always skip stations who were
Stan, Getscores has been up for more than five years, and the Russian site has been up for a year or so. No contesting authority has made any restriction against the sites, and I don't think they wil
I'm setting up my Rigblaster Plus for SSB next weekend. I am trying to wire DVK Audio. I know one of the ACC connectors accepts audio for data modes. however, can't determine if this port is live dur
Stan, I take your point, however, you are clearly trying to say "the sky is falling" in regards to single op using score reporting, but clearly it's not. It that were the case, serious action would h
Of course not. If you are single op, you copy the calls yourself. Tell me how you police that, Stan? SOs can do lots of things to get call signs, all of which are illegal in the rules. Score reportin
Hi Steve, I do see your point. The "player" remark was unfortunate... I can see in these situations where it could make a difference. So -- that's why you guys don't post. However, you could post, mo
If throughput is not the issue, but rather restrictive ISPs, then I would recommend a peer-to-peer VPN, and there are two free solutions. Hamachi (from www.logmein.com), free for more than enough use
