Nahhh. There is a semi-inexhaustible supply of SSB stations waiting in the wings to get on the air the minute the perceived QRM level lessens. Nahhh again. No relief from congestion will occur. The b
I found two quotes from the article to be of interest: "Sweepstakes logs for both modes were off in 2003 by 6.4 percent." "Henderson blamed sagging propagation for at least some of the drop-off in lo
N6AA's golf analogy reminds me to ask: N6TJ's unflagging stamina notwithstanding, why doesn't anyone ever propose a "Seniors" category? My thoughts: 1. Keep it at 48 hours. 48 hours makes great sense
That's because you didn't use the right phonetics. If you had said "Aaron, as in Elvis Aaron Presley", no one would have needed any repeats....:-) Bud, K2KIR
Thanks to all who responded, both on and off the reflector, about my suggestion to use ARRL sections in the NAQP -- and especially to Dave, K8CC, who took the time to provide background on some of th
Holy mackerel !!! I cod hardly believe it. At first I thought my e-mail program was all scrod up. Seemed like a-balone to me. Oh well, W7WHY did say he smelt something.... Bud, K2KIR
I love my Beyer Dynamic DT-770 headphones, but they were relatively expensive. They have no microphone attached. They are high fidelity, and low impedance -- 8 ohms, I think. I prefer these to my Hei

Well, there's a name for this effect, which has been documented previously in other fields. In my advanced years I can't remember it, though. The essence, as I recall, is that the "right" amount of b
Yep, that's it!!! (I thought of it about six hours after posting my original message, when I was nowhere near an e-mail connection. Thanks for the assist. Bud, K2KIR -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.
Yes, and let's use ARRL/RAC sections instead of states. Bud, K2KIR <snip> -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: cq-contest-REQUEST@contesting.com
Certainly not the TS-940. Its response to computer polling screws up the transmitted frequency whenever RIT or XIT (but not both) is active and is set at a non-zero frequency differential relative to
Yep -- the TS-940 computer interface isn't smart enough to keep PC software polling of its frequencies from messing up the frequency of your transmitted signal if you have either RIT or XIT (but not
I don't agree -- when I was a new ham, I used to read the line scores for my section to see if I knew any of the contesters who participated -- even though I hadn't yet decided that I wanted to be a
