There are no shortcuts I know of when rolling up coax. Like one of the other replies mentioned, start a loop with the desired diameter. Secure it with some electrical tape. Hand roll the rest insuri
Again the obvious, if someone pulls a stunt like this, then publish his entire call. If not, leave out any reference, lest we condemn all K1 powerhouses. 73 Ed -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://lists.cont

You are making representations contrary to the FCC's Hollingsworth. It matters not if you are in a QSO, in a Net, rag chewing, or contesting. If you transmit on a frequency which is in use, that is
This is just an example of semantics. You can call it anything you want, but the operative word is "interference", and for the particular contest, you are violating the rules. I assume from your lack
snipped With all due respect, and agreeing entirely with the respect due Tree and Fred, why are opinions being solicited from individuals, regardless of their reputation, on matters that while they m
Quite true. As a matter of fact, they don't even address it. But your attempts to disguise interference with another name is merely an attempt to justify what is apparently your belief. Again, you ar
My thoughts on this matter are that having paid the penalty, Herb should have been renewed. But what bothers me more is the legal precedent set when the Court affirmed the FCC refusal on the basis of
Fellows, I need a new one. Has anyone used the new MFJ? In truth, I know little about them, but want one which can be programed directly from the mike in whole increments ( such as "CQ Contest" ). Wo

Well, it's been long ago, but in combination with the SEDXC, I sponsored the first ( I think ) plaque for the 160 contest for Africa, and as I remember, although there weren't that many entries, ther
Am in complete agreement with "TO" here, with this exception: I don't think it matters one bit to ask for the "NA" or such. People keep calling in large numbers regardless. And any similarity to the

Guys, this thing could run for years. And my days of being a "gun" are long gone. But one of the most interesting posts I have seen was from one of the log checkers who said a S2R could even give a M
Just as a matter of interest, Dan, the ARRL Contest Director stated yesterday at the Atlanta Hamfest that this matter had been discussed and NO changes to the rules are anticipated. He also stated th
Dan, ND1D discussed this matter at the Atlanta Hamfest last weekend. It was my understanding this rule has already been eliminated. 73 Ed -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest
sniped -- This line of reasoning stinks! It is highly probable that a station could make 10 or more QSOs just with guys looking for States, who never submit a log. Where is it written you have to wor

Just took a look at your note. You NEVER NEVER use the black wire as a hot. That is opposite from all other circuits. And you NEVER switch the ground. As far as the breaker goes, any 220V breaker wil
