about currently sell no For cw, I like a pair of Kenwood 500 Hz filters. I used to have a TS-830 with both Inrad 400 hz filters, and I thought it was too narrow. You really had to ride the RIT to pic
I once tried shunt-feeding my tower and immediately burned up the pot in a T2X rotator, so it can definitely be a problem. Standard advice is to route all cables inside the tower, and bring them all

The NAQP CW and the RTTY Roundup contests are both scheduled for this coming Saturday. With a lot of the RTTY activity occuring around 7040, and the NAQP suggested frequencies of around 7030, 40 mete
A while back, I acquired an Ameritron AL-1500 amp. Naturally, for contesting use, I set the blower on MAX, and it sounds like a Hoover vacuum cleaner! I tried an electronic noise-cancelling headset,
The only hope for tonight's Sprint is for the cw guys to utilize the extra band. Last night WD0J was cq'ing like mad on 7027 RTTY. He had a low QSO number, and was working only about 20 Q's per hour,
The only thing I remember about the receiver measurements on the 850 in QST was that, with the AIP turned on, the ARRL had to apply so much RF to the antenna terminals to make it overload, that they
I found this little note in my log checking report for CW SS: -- TIME ON CALCULATION 2100-0849 = 710 1313-1605 = 173 1635-0154 = 559 -- On time = 1443 minutes (max of 1440). Since you operated beyond
OK, I think I've almost got it now. Let me go back to my original SSCW report: TIME ON CALCULATION 2100-0849 = 710 1313-1605 = 173 1635-0154 = 559 -- On time = 1443 minutes (max of 1440). In the firs
In that case, why didn't I get dinged for an extra minute for my 29 minute break from 1605 to 1635, bringing the total op time to 1444? Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, AZ _______________________________
There's an intrinsic conflict in a mix of contesters and nets on SSB. Contesters spend the entire weekend on a band which is jammed full of signals. They have the best QRM-fighting tools available an

Bruce's comment gave me a bright idea (or, at least I thought it was bright). The real payoff for me in any contest is to look at the 3830 results on Monday morning to see how I did compared to every

I'd like to see the return of the High-Band (10, 15, 20) and Low Band (40, 80, 160) categories to the ARRL DX Test. This change would increase participation by the average Joe Tribanders around the w
In situations like this, I usually replace the qso with the data from the last valid qso immediately before the valid one. The bad qso then becomes just an immediate dupe. Setting the claimed points
