John, I have monster noise here near Bangkok and have tried several things. -ICOM IC-775dsp is jaw dropping good on radiated high voltage lines (it was made during the Russian woodpecker era), but ca
Please consider sending your QSL card to long time 160 CW contester, W4YOK, who is very ill and could feel better to get your cheery card. Address Tom at W4YOK [image: USA flag] USA Thomas W Webb 353
I agree with ZL3AB. There are parts of the world that need spotting AS NEGLECTED GEOGRAPHIC PLACES, not to promote a specific call sign. 73, Charly HS0ZCW -- Charly, HS0ZCW __________________________
Ken, I had two of those 87a turkeys also. I bought the equal of another one in factory returns $$$$ for PIN diodes alone. The amp has about 5 yrs in it from brand new and then it goes wild. "ai reven
Jeff, Today's contests are actually two-in-one: one for the obvious frequent "winners" and the other for the rest of us. I am not complaining because I think anyone who builds a super station, in a g
As of September 2017, licensed hams in Thailand, HS or E2, can operate 144 to 147 MHz. The full band is now allocated for ham use. Charly, HS0ZCW <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm
Did you copy all 21 dits in HS5SRH ? PS, over half of CQers in contest running at 30+wpm, CAN NOT COPY my call, once, at same speed.... and I have only 12 dits. Morale, do not send faster than you ca
You have slow CW? My solution: K3 set at 400 bandwidth. P3 panadapter and large monitor. Start at bottom of band and tune center of slim visual pip. K3, spots, and your head confirm callers' letters.
Topic: Propagation Research.... There are reasons we in South East Asia can not receive as well as we are heard. The electromagnetic or magnetic equator is situated over SEA, centered most times at 9
Two band occupiers, with one band being wasted with empty 40wpm CQs, are obvious. I operate LOUD , so I give the empty CQers ONE call, often only my prefix due to the short "listening time" between C
If an op is sending faster than he can copy, he is a LID and operator of Rotten Radio. Period. 73, Charly <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_
Ok, I have had it with vague sales statements. The following was used since at least 1955 and all amp experts know it. CCS is Continuous Commercial Service. This is true 100% duty cycle, BRICK ON THE
Surish, 9N1HA, contester from Nepal, has been off the air and hospitalized for a pacemaker implant. He reports he is out and bouncing back to happy life again. 73, de Charly, HS0ZCW <https://www.avas
Pete, Of course constant calling is irritating and generally bad operating practice. As DX, I have had stations calling me when I have clearly stood by for a different station. If the station calling
Ron, there may be few native 9N that will get that email. Better direct to 9N1AA who can spread the word. Hey hold a dinner for the 9N hams! They like that. 73, Charly, once Mr. 9N7UD. <https://www.a
HS and E2 operations are approved for all major contests coming, thru Sept 2018. That includes use of 50-54 inclusive and 3.5-3.5025 AND 3.6 thru to 3.900. First major opening of 80 in decades. Remem
There is no legal HS/K4VUD...nope. 73, legal HS0ZCW.... now allowed 6meters and more of 80m for contests. -- Charly, HS0ZCW _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-
Also remember that ARRL contests are AMERICAN contests and lots less satisfying to ops outside of EU/JA. Serving JA is definitely not "the rest of the world." World-work-USA is way way less fun than
Remarkable that about ten of the top 100 most-needed entities are on USA property. License is a snap; permits are not, I guess. Surprise anyway how any USA entities should be so high in the list. The
