Yes, a 300 Hz filter will work just fine on RTTY, especially during the crowded conditions during CQWW and ARRL Roundup contests. Theoretically you can narrow down to 265 Hz before you begin to degra
I suspect from the perspective of a EU competitor, having the States as multipliers tends to keep their antennas and attention focused on the USA a lot longer. For each USA competitor it makes us 50
Well then you'll need different contest classes to differentiate between unionized tower workers and freelancer tower workers too. There will be a competitive advantage depending upon which labor for
I created an IOWA QSO PARTY tool that will help operators determine when the mobile stations will activate each county. This is a visual aide created from the itineraries posted to the mobile website
*We expect contesters announcing somewhere their Contest plans in advance, especially those intending to operate Low Power, QRPp, claiming unassisted.* I announced this to my wife. Is that good enoug

No Mike, you are not alone. I asked for many repeats as well. Sometimes I will listen to the DX station make several contacts before I am confident I know their callsign. I do not speak any foreign l

After I posted the new SS Analyzer, the server at the ISP went down. I'm not certain if it was the flurry of contesters trying to down load it all at once (wishful thinking) or some other cause that
