This has been going on for years and years, and is simply a way some use to "muscle" in on your run frequency. Moving higher will only result in the "grabber" also moving higher, and very soon, you'l
The solder joints around the PLL circuits are not generally to blame. It is within the little tin can which actually holds the crystal. I had 2 940s, and both developed the same problem. The solution
With all due apologies to Jim's very insightful post, it is NOT us. That "please copy" can probably be traced to less than 50 hams in the US, operating with greatly exaggerated opinions of themselves
Jim, you forgot to include "when last heard".. I am over 64, and while I am beginning to suffer some "senior moments", it does not take 1/4 second for that old brain to kick in. Call it like it is, L
To add to the timely remarks from others, one other note is in order. IF the callsign being used is NOT a club call, the holder of that call MUST be present at all times. Field day isn't the only pla
If someone is thinking of buying Bob's prop pitch, be warned there is a LOCKING NUT on the rotator housing. Remove it before applying power. Actually, in the one I had, I didn't know this. No matter,
Well, perhaps one more story. In the late 80s, I and several others operated the CQWWSSB from V47. Now, to show the rediculous, we arranged for a top JA ( think his name was Yosi ) to be part of our
"David L. Thompson" wrote: The new FCC Chairman told a group of hams that its time for amateurs to move to the new modes and leave what he considers are obsolete modes. He said (and ARRL agrees) that
Well, I saw and read the entire comment also. It was a quote from Chairman Powell. It very well be it was included in the ARRL letter sent out every friday to those who subscribe. Those who have ment
-- I agree whole heartily with Barry's comments above, but since "we" elected them, I belive we are entitled to a complete explanation. -- -- Again, I agree 100%. Unfortunately, I am stuck with a lif
snipped Don't know if this product contains it, but NBC ( I think ) ran a news item a week or so ago, and it showed the results of testing. In short, if the product doesn't contain an ingredient call
Something funny about this message. How can W2CS write both, which are direct opposites of each other? Assumming someone quoted someone incorrectly, I don't like the use of the word "force" in regard
Tom is right on the ball with his answer Jim. I love cw also, but one of the most fascinating things about RTTY is you never have to hear a single sound. Just sit there with the mouse and go go go. P
Bill K6KM Well, the cheapest and most effective method I've ever found is to make them yourself. Cut about a 6" length of the 1/2" hard line, and visit your local hardware store. Also, take along a b
-- I think the operator will have the final say, but I firmly believe the problem is the ARRL band plan. When some ????????? puts the digital modes at 1.8 up, and SSB above 1.843, I see this as nothi
Without comment on the actual issue, you broke the rules, and any statement to the contrary is incorrect. Unfortunately, none of us "makes" the rules. This would result in bedlam. If you don't like
John, NE0P makes a good point. ALL of the bitching is about SSB use. And a careful glance at the call signs of the individuals bitching should give a pretty good hint as to the license class. First t
I have to go along with Dallas here. I've told more than a few (mostly wrongcoasters ) that they need to check their signal, and not once have any replied with anything other than "thanks..will chec
I'm surprised that no one has commented that on 21000.5 or such, you are absolutely out of the US band according to both ARRL and FCC announcements. I believe (???) they state quite emphatically that
