Turns out I might be in the Rio area around CQWW CW, wondering if there's any multiops or otherwise needing an op? Thanks, 73 de N6GQ (aka YN2AA, 4K9Z, 9H3ZZ, etc., etc.) ____________________________
I copy it too here in YN, direction peaks are towards EU (short path) but I can't get any tighter than that. I don't have any decoding abilities. But I do hear it, and have heard it most of today as
To me, contesting is very much a social event as well as an independent race. In my mind, you get the best of both worlds, and you get to choose which one (or both, or neither) you focus on. For me,
I'm out in Raleigh, NC around ARRL CW - any multis (or otherwise) need an op within a few hours driving distance? 73 de N6GQ, aka YN2AA, 4K9Z, 9H3ZZ, etc., etc. ______________________________________
When I'm DX, I always try to move when asked if the move-band is open, and if I can do it relatively easy via the 2nd radio, or quick enough to come back and not lose my run frequency, *and* if the p
Sounds bogus to me. As so many others have suggested, this judgement implies that RDXC has done full analysis of yours and others QTHs, feed systems, antennas, antenna interactions, etc., etc. Heck,
Does anyone have any first hand knowledge on interfacing a DX Doubler with FT5000/3000? Would DX Doubler cabling built for FT1000 work with the 5000/3000 radios? Thanks much, Jeff N6GQ ______________
Great topic! I think I did the 1980 Novice Roundup if I remember right. Thanks to my awesome elmer (Lloyd, KH6LC, then AA6T) for providing an excellent 4L triband quad on a hilltop to do my first con
Hi W5 contesters...I'm looking at moving to the DFW area, preferably near Fort Worth. I'm looking for 10-50 acres and if there's existing towers and precedent, all the better. Do you know of any W5 h
Hello friends, There used to be a decent resource called DX Holiday that listed many known Rent-A-QTH that could be used for contests (or otherwise). I believe that resource no longer exists. There i
The old C64 version of Doctor DX was one of my favorites! Loved that simulator and wore the thing out on my old C64. I think I still have it laying around somewhere long after the C64 died. Would lov
Not a super modern radio, but I was very impressed with the Elecraft K2 DSP daughterboard. It had an uncanny ability to pull very weak signals out of noise. It was also quite good at removing man-mad
Hey Dennis, I've been experimenting with some of my higher-end audio headphones and in-ear monitors for CW use. Those headphones and in-ear monitors are superb for music, but I'm not convinced they a
That's a great thing - will be fun to watch indeed! When the 2x4 calls came out that threw me for a loop. I think 2x1's will be much easier :) See you in the pileups, Jeff N6GQ (VP9I in CQWW SSB/CW t
I'm not sure if it was exactly that, but I had a LOT of issues while operating as VP9I last weekend with coming back to callers and they just vanish - that was my first assumption - that they were in
