Dear Contesters, the excellent propagation forecasts prior to the HF Championship didn't obviously take the E-sporadic issue into account. During 2004 IARU I could work more than 300 Europeans on 10
Dear Contesters, I am willing to prepare and upgrade my station and its operator (myself.) to the next CQ WWDX SSB CONTEST, at the end of October. Unfortunately it's not so easy to do so without the
Hi Keen Contesters, this is Claudio "IK2DZN" from Milan, Italy, back to you after verifying no one has answered to my Low Power question. No complains for this, just answers I found myself which I'd
Hi contesters, I do agree with Bill. Let's take antenna heigth, for example. I had a TH7DXS (a very common trapped antenna...) at the top of a 67 meter tower in the early 90's. The performance at low
Hi Gentlemen, hallo from Italy. Let me write that as a new subscriber to CQ-Contest it is very nice reading you and learning small or big tips almost daily. I think I still own the record for "CQWW S
Hi Keen Contesters, this is Claudio "IK2DZN" from Milan, Italy, wishing you all a happy (and very contested...) new year 2005. I have a question concerning the Low Power Category. In several contest
Dear Contesters, I read the 2005 CQWWDX CONTEST RULES that are now available on the so often mentioned WEB site of CQ.. There is one thing that I didn't understand well and maybe some of you can help
Dear Contesters, I'd like to thank Bob (W5OV), Yuri (K3BU) and John (K4BAI) for their kind replies. Everything is clear to me now... At this time I'd like to launch a simple proposal to other EUROPEA
Dear Contesting People, it was a great fun this weekend, one of the greatest so far. I'd like to address the propagation issue. As a LOW POWER ALL BAND operator in the 2004 edition I had managed to m
Hi Doug and hi all, I completely agree with Doug's approach and his questions. This is a subject I brought to the attention of the list some months ago. Let me come back on the issue with a little pr
Hi Tom, I am a keen LOW POWER (not QRP) guy but, as you expected, I think that your way of treating the "QRP Thing" is more than unacceptable. If we'd follow your very bad example we could very easil
Hi Bill, maybe my English is not good and/or clear enough but the whole point of my 3 points about QRO was stating... that they are nonsense as well as those about QRP. So, I am glad you are writing
Dear Contesters, joking with QRP, LOW POWER and QRO subjects... a different but serious matter came out... the "QSL REPLY" thing... -- One thing I also do not agree with you is the QSL thing. The QSL
Dear Bob, if you do not like this subject you can skip it. Freedom is a good option. Nevertheless if you read the previous messages on the subject it's more than evident that IN THIS REFLECTOR it is
Hi Bill, you have explained the other thing around. Computer guys with label printing know log facts really very well. They know in a second if you are confirmed or not and on which band. Be sure tha
Hi John, you normally put the strongest signal from the U.S.A. into Southern Europe. It shouldn't be difficult for you to find the strongest new subject for this list. I have one for you if needed: h
Hi All, I am looking forward to receiving the January CQ Issue that should report the CQWPX 2005 SSB Results. Unfortunately the issue has not come yet. Anyone who has already received the CQ issue ca
Dear Contesters, thanks to all providing me the data; I really appreciated it. I have ONE VERY BIG QUESTION for you: -- ITALY has just 7 (SEVEN) entries for ALL CATEGORIES in the CQWPX SSB 2005. May
Dear Contesters, CQ corrected with apologizes the CQWPX SSB 2005 CONTEST results for ITALY, SARDINIA and SICILY at www.cqwpx.com. I found them myself at http://home.woh.rr.com/wpx/2005SSBCORRECTIONS.
Dear Stephan, I noticed the same thing, which was largely evident, in very similar percentages to yours... and thank you for submitting this issue. My guess is that this "abuse" depends on the low so
