Getting back to reading CQ ssb contest rules and having two operators seems to say that really I need at least TWO radios to be competitive in the Single Radio/Two Operators category. I have not thot
Tnx KR2Q.... Now I remember why I thot the Multi One category is dumb. I see that it does give the second op something to do in addition to sleep, but really kills off the idea of ONE op and ONE radi
Yes W2LC, the movement to station automation lately is the evolution of real ham radio into another hobby, related but different. When some hams lost the joy of discovery and happenstance...the essen
If I get cut numbers, I just do not log the contact... NIL. My location takes me out of scoring competition, so now I play by my own rules. -- Charly, HS0ZCW _________________________________________
RF Ham Radio Contesting has a new entry coming from a new hobby, Internet Contesting. This new hobby uses a part of another hobby, Ham Radio, but has moved far enough away from its cousin to have a n
Discussion of remotes now leaves out the fact that two-way remote RF ham operations is more than ten years old and remote receivers even older. Two-way remotes have been secretly used for a long time
to the fellow wishing all had a K3 nearby...... Does the use of Class A on the transmitter of the FT dx 5000 make it less of a burden for you to copy nearby signals when you are geographically nearby

There are parts of the world where ham spectrum space is NOT a problem. Without a major contest I can tune ALL bands under 2m and hear ONE ham contacting activity per band ... all over 9 bands, avera
Yep, change everything to "correct" and clean your log. Join the Big Boys' methods, and use a whole club's ops logs to help, too. I say, cheat all you can... it feels so good by the victory fire and

If this were a contest............. EP6T has been loud here often, and I wked em both modes on 20, but may never work them on any other bands due to their calling directionally to NA, EU, or JA, whic
Yes Yan, I do disagree with the current use of geographically limited calling. I understand the money dimension... call the population centers because they pay. I do not want to purchase a contact, I
Take next step, Yan, and just take a remote station to the needed DXpedition location and save all those donations getting the troop of 20 operators there... those "sacrificing being away from their
What is happening is....... the lid holding contesters to old concepts/rules has come off. Hams are becoming more aware of the arbitrary and unfair slants of big contests and have now become more wil
-Early on, "x" years ago, stations could tap into remote receivers all around the world to hear better in specific geographic areas. Transmissions were loud enough but clear hearing was the problem--
I abhor trying to be ham radio police; I am not even an OO. However, I can tell you I have been around with my silent presence listening to the talk. It is all there, and more than, say, ten per cont
Kelly, look up Glenn's remarks I paraphrased as he speaks about K1N experience. It is not just me, and yes it is naive to think this never happens. Charly -- Charly, HS0ZCW __________________________
Thailand hams, HS and E2, continue to be limited to the lower 25kc of both the 80 and 160 meter bands, but operations there can be any mode including SSB. I guess this just about puts Thailand out of
I am surprised that some kind of subaudible tone code, call sign, could not? be transmitted along with a voice. It could be sent very fast for short calls and read to reflectors..........yes or no? C
