01 August 2005 It's only been 3½ months since the 2005 MiQP and the final results are out on the MiQP Web Site http://www.miqp.org. August has always been our goal, but there never seemed to b
I fixed several power supply problems by opening it up and noticing that there is a footprint on the PC board where a filter *would* normally be installed, usually just jumpered over with bare wire.
I suspect the units from PC Power and Cooling, though a tad more expensive, are probably good too. http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/products/power_supplies/ They also sell extremely quiet ball bearin
Don't worry about it. The log checking software is going to re-score your log anyway. The Cabrillo format doesn't know anything about multipliers, and the SCORE field is just there for convenience. I

I'm not sure it was the VK0IR Heard Island DXpedition that coined the idea of czars, people who had full responsibility and accountability over one portion of the expedition (i.e. food, antenna layou
Folks, please be respectful of the two contests that will be going on at the same time this weekend: CQ/RJ WPX RTTY and NA Sprint CW. In the past, the Sprinters have really trashed the RTTY guys on 4
It's not a RTTY sprint, it's the RTTY WPX contest (sponsored by the RTTY Journal and CQ, not NCJ). The rules are found at: http://www.rttyjournal.com/rules/wpx.html They don't specify RTTY frequencie
NCJ Sprints are domestic contests (for the most part). The Europeans work RTTY on 7.040 for some reason. I have only been around RTTY a few years, I don't know if this is tradition or bandplan. But i
-- Ekki Plicht DF4OR <ekki@plicht.de> replied: To understand this you have to know that Region 1 has only 100 kHz for 40m: 7000 to 7100. 7000 to 7035 CW only 7035 to 7045 Digital (inc. Fax/SSTV) 7045
Remember, it's a two-way street. I would expect that many USA stations will get E-mail from Europe when we chose to listen for them on 40 meter SSB below 7.040. But would we be so brazen to do the sa
By selling a piece of paper for $10 called "QRP DXCC" that requires them to do nothing more than make sure the list you sent them has 100+ different entities listed. No QSL cards required. 73 - Jim A
You can send whatever you like. I suggest do NOT use anything that ends in K. You will get a lot of repeats by people asking what your power is because "K" usually means "end of transmission". 1K mig
N6TR assures me that the *sender* will NOT lose credit for the QSO in this case: Tree responded: I apologize for spreading mis-information, and for assuming I knew what the log checking software does
I run CT with "CORRECT" turned on, so this generally won't happen. However, when I heard CT send the TU QRZ without repeating the changed call, I quickly aborted the transmission in progress, sent th
Two I have heard about: TO4T=FG RG9O=UA9 Any others that did not come up right? 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <jjreisert@alum.mi
Just LU/Argentina. The /H refers to the district, only /Z would potentially be interesting (one of the VP8-equivalents). It's hard to get these right, but Cabrillo won't care. - Jim == Jim Reisert AD
Rich, I do not believe that is correct. CT will write the update to the country file "on the fly". If you find that is NOT the case, please let me know ASAP. - Jim == Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont C
I don't know how other software works, but the spots stay in CT's bandmap for an hour. As I tune around the bands, I spot only stations that are not already in CT's bandmap (i.e. haven't been spotted
I've been down these roads. You need to check with your Internet provider, a router may indeed be necessary. For example, AT&T Broadband charges an additional fee ($9.95/month) to connect more than 1
