I guess I'm another that doesnt think K7LXC's response was appropriate for this reflector. Keep it on Tower Talk, which is yours. The answers are: look at the F12 C3 or C3S for a short boom or the Be
I picked up a couple of mike socks made by Prosoft Plus called "Majestic 1000" at Dayton last year. They're at 800-673-4563 and www.datawise.net/~prosoft Cant really say how well they work because I
Well if we are going to change any rules for WPX, I'd like to see some massive ones. As a minimum, allow ALL QSO's to count for at least 1 point, like the RTTY WPX does now. That alone does a little

CQ Magazine just hit my mailbox with the 97 WPX CW results.... Tucked away at the very end of the article is the statement: "Beginning with the 1999 contest, the scoring will be changed to allow 1 po
Since the 24th and 25th are a Sunday and Monday and WPX is always on the last full weekend and N8BJQ is the contest director for WPX.... I bet on 30-31st of May. 73, ty K3mM -- CQ-Contest on WWW: htt
If you were stacking monobanders, you could use resonant (transmission line) transformers, but since you are using tribanders, a broadband transformer is really the only practical way to go, and Jay,
I have proposed that RTTY be tried on the half hour marks by those with limited time for the mode. It's going to be difficult to justify the time on RTTY to those that are limited in TX number and ar

That's incorrect. Yes, h e's responsible for sending in the $50, but CQ has to order the trophy. Frankly, I think it's the awards sponsorship cash float that's keeping them alive! hi! 73, Ty K3MM --
I havent had a chance to try it yet, but I've been waiting for this utility for a long time. KA5WSS has been promising an update to include NA10 files for quite a while, but hasnt been forthcoming. I
I'd like to alert you and LA9HW about a problem that could cost someone a score in a contest. I think it's dangerous to be creating your own copies of rules when they are available on the sponsors we
