41. [CQ-Contest] Why a new contest? (score: 1)
Author: "Hal Kennedy" <halken@comcast.net>
Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2011 09:14:35 -0400
Some of the scoring suggestions seem intriguing to me. The creation of a new, major, contest to employ them seems unlikely. Meanwhile, tradition abounds and has value - changing the scoring system fo

42. [CQ-Contest] Bandpass filter (score: 1)
Author: "Hal Kennedy" <halken@comcast.net>

I've run C31XRs at two different QTHs, with triple feedlines on any two bands at the same time, at 1.5 KW, with zero problems for 48 straight hours. In both cases the feedlines came to stubs, then Du

Operated on a 29 1/2 inch table for many years and always felt it was a little low. Added a sheet of 3/4 finished plywood on top to get a bigger top out of the same table base, and at about 30 1/4 in

Author: "Hal Kennedy" <halken@comcast.net>
Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2012 07:39:36 -0500
I'm genuinely surprised anyone is subscribed to 3830. I am keenly interested in the results and soapbox comments on 3830, but; I go to the 3830 archives site and open up the current day and read the

45. [CQ-Contest] Non-Assisted vs. Assisted (score: 1)
Author: "Hal Kennedy" <halken@comcast.net>
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:09:14 -0500
I don't have a personal stake in the debate as I always run assisted and claim it that way. I do it because I enjoy the interplay of the technology. Meanwhile, it is accepted that to date the best SO

46. [CQ-Contest] Error free RBN (score: 1)
Author: Hal Kennedy <halken@comcast.net>
Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2013 12:41:20 -0400
I may be by myself all alone out in the woods with this opinion, but I like the RBN having errors. The "image problem" is probably something worth filtering out to the degree technically possible, bu

47. [CQ-Contest] Amps (score: 1)

In answer to the question about which amps for SO2R, I run a pair of ACOM 2000A's. Good: - Very reliable - Tube cost relatively low - Full power. Loafs at 1500W out. Many of the "full power" amps are

Please keep them coming. I have 225,000 Qs in LOTW, confirmations there are always welcome. But, I would prefer a paper card. I have a 160 QSL scrapbook I like to show visitors - can't do that by rol

I remembered Bill, W4AN, expressing his dislike for SSB Sprint on this reflector more than once. Here is an excerpt from a February 2004 post, under the heading: "Bad Sprint Ideas:" Dumb contest. No,

Perhaps someone can fill me in on what happens when I work someone signing W1XYZ/QRP and I log him as W1XYZ? Which I do all the time. /QRP may mean something to the sender but on this receiving end i

Hi Mike - Pete and others have made some good suggestions. SO2R without filters is certainly possible. Many have done it, including myself. You can proceed risk-free with a simple test. Transmit on o

Me too - I'm keeping my subscription. There's only two amateur radio magazines of note: CQ and QST (which is partially a house organ). I like the articles, they cover DX'peditions well and always hav
