Thank Ken, for some clear headed, calm and rational discussion on the subject. It has taken all these years to get to this point and now "the sky is gonna fall" ? ? ? Take a deep breath guys, there i
Haw! That's great, Sandy. Turnabout is fair play, but watch where you're aiming on the turnabout. :-) I saw some similar to this at a camping outfitters and got one for my lady friend for camping nex
Well Tom, you could look up some of those old 2x3s on Vanity HQ, Mike Carroll's, N4MC, website. Among all the other goodies there, he has Operation CQ, in which he is trying to build a comprehensive
Victor, you can ramble all you want about your system. I'm fascinated by it and am learning things as we all are on this reflector, thanks to you. Keep up the good work. Hope to see you in Dayton aga
Or for $259 he can get a Piexx processor communications board for his TS930, which allows computer control. That makes for a nice contesting rig with computer logging. Tiger Direct and other outlets
Why so? There's no decoding going on. The operator still has to decode it. Just visually instead of aurally. No real difference, just using a different sense. And like using cluster, it's SO "Distrac
Congratts Bob. Now all you need to do is fully populate it with INRAD filters, and INRAD has a roofing filter mod, as well. It is a good rig. 73, Gerry, K8GT == Hi all I must say I had my doubts abou
OK, I'll post this one last time since this thread is getting long in the tooth, but to help newcomers that are financially challenged find a good rig. First, the TS850 that I bought used, had a seri
TNX for the info, Jamie. It is now #6 73, Gerry, K8GT == Many of you knew John Kanzius, K3TUP. John was working on a RF based cure for cancer before he passed away. The Kanzius Cancer Research Founda
Thanks Tom, VE3CX, for a clear headed analysis instead of all the Sturm und Drang that has been raging. It sounds like politics, (not just U.S., but worldwide), all hot air and not much hard facts. T
Doug, Please, did you read the email. He recommended Anthony, K8ZT's website that has quite a few actual, true slashed ZERO fonts not the alternate type of slashed letter. These fonts do not cause pr
Unfortunately, most, if not all, that do this, don't subscribe to the contest reflector. 73, Gerry, K8GT == Is it just me, or more and more stations skipping the callsign part of the exchange?? I not
While I'm greatly saddened to see such damage to antennas, I'm hoping that all those communities that are without electricity and water survive OK and have it restored soon. 73, Gerry, K8GT Ice storm
Ahhh, but do you notice how many people DO stop at a stop sign? Of course not. The human brain is wired to notice exceptions, not the commonplace. Then, of course, we apply the exception as if it is
But suppose that I enter as Low Power. During the contest, I decide to operate High Power. I'd have to change it, or just forget about it and not enter, and maybe not enter many others. 73, Gerry, K8
(Don't forget the hat Jerry) Paul K9PG _______________________________________________ With advancing age, my memory ain't what it used to be, (it never was any good), but I won't forget the magical
Yeah, that was Sean in the back on the 'skins'. It is hard to imagine someone as tall as he is, being able to hide behind the others. I was never able to get a shot of the full band because of that.
So keep a grid square map handy, like most of us do. No big deal. It's the best exchange since you can figure distance, like the Stew Perry 160 contest. Sheesh is that all you have to worry about? 73
Happy Father's Day, Dale Funny you should ask, as that is what I spent most of my weekend doing is getting my new Win7 64 bit laptop setup for N1MM for Field Day with CAT control of my FT857D and CW
Yes, you should ask him to repeat the exchange and if he still doesn't include his call, ask for it. If a bunch do it, that's a penalty, IMHO. 73, Gerry, K8GT == I am throwing this out there for comm
