What is a "receiver?" I give, will it receive? What is "hearing?" I'm at a loss. What is "tuning?" This is forked up. I just shout N1MM! Get call sign! cain K1TN _____________________________________
CQ Magazine is not alone.... December QST was delayed about two weeks due to a claimed paper shortage at the printer. January QST arrived on time but it is printed on much lower quality paper than be

There is no mention of this"new" contest anywhere on the ARRL web site that I can find. I searched everywhere. It's not even in the ARRL Contest Calendar on their "Contest Portal." It has not appeare
I agree with HA3LN that FT-8 is a terrible blow to what an ARRL director snidely referred to -- on this reflector -- as "our sandbox." Yes, I play only unassisted and you call it what you want. A nei
Tom (K8CX), what an unbelievable amount of work, OM! Especially to get everybody identified in each photo. Thank you. Dayton Photo Gallery 2022 by K8CX (hamgallery.com) <http://hamgallery.com/dayton2

As others have hinted at, ninety-nine per cent of old QSL cards are useless. But you never know when periodically burning them might come back to bite you. Maybe 10 years ago I was astonished to see
Thanks for posting your addendum to the print NCJ, Lee. Nice job and a way for those of us who are too old/sick/tired/poor/don't care to go to a social gathering. I mean it, I did enjoy seeing the ph
I will put my end-fed wire and 100 watts up against a three-thousand dollar loop antenna on the ground and 1500 watts, and I will WIN every time. cain K1TN ___________________________________________

Why would anybody operating from Canada use a call sign starting with X? cain K1TN Hi John. Try VE3ZF (VE2IDX). Sorry, our "special calls" policy in Canada allows the same call sign to be re-issued t
I looked up MSK144 and found a video "tutorial" by VK3YE. In the seven-minute video there is no audio of a radio signal. Mostly just a computer screen filled with, I dunno, "detections," or "decodes"
dupes so if you did not have solid copy during the previous QSO or even miscopied their callsign the first time, it may not be that easy to later make a good contact.-- John KK9A - W4AAA" So we shou

Kevin: Thank you! I have worldradiohistory.com bookmarked and have used it. In fact, in one very important way it's much better than the ARRL archives; worldradiohistory has complete issues, every pa
"Have fun trying to figure out how search works." I don't know why anybody would use archive.org (The Internet Wayback Machine") for anything. The U.S. National Archives, at archives.gov, isn't any b
When I use a word, Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to mean neither more nor less. The question is, said Alice, whether you can make words mean so many dif
