But isn't there a limit on the distance that the control point can be from the station for at least some ARRL contests? I seem to recall 75 miles or something like that. I have a lease on a QTH that

Yes, that's stupid to the extreme. So are the stations working split. No excuse for that during a contest. I refuse to work them. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ CQ-Conte

Not only that, I was DISGUSTED by the posts that came into my box in the thread about somebody's score not being mentioned in QST, and how many thousands of dollars he had SPENT to achieve a big scor

we are planning a M2 operation next cqww ssb. we will use single coax stub based in k2tr design but can we install coax single stub direct at PA output??? It depends on the design of the power amp. S
Over the last decade or so, Rob Sherwood's extensive work on receiver performance has done much to improve the receivers in modern rigs, but transmitters have been sadly neglected. A month or so ago
Thanks for the link, David. I have my own take on this, which is more generic and differs a bit from Eric's. Part of it is because I run SO2R feeding my mic through a YCCC box, but mostly it's the re
A few years ago, I did extensive testing of the most popular bandpass filter sets including the ICE 419B. A report on that work, complete with performance data, was published in NCJ. The 419Bs came i
Hi Charlie, My report is an analysis of ARRL data from their testing and published reviews. The Yaesu firmware revision is in response to my release of an early version of my report. You can check th

Yes. It's the creation of W6RRR, with encouragement from NCCC. San is a protege of K6XX, whose three daughters are also licensed. San got her Extra license about a year ago. A week later, she posted
The Manager of the SSB Sprint is a member of our club. I saw him at the NCCC meeting last week, when he talked for 45 minutes about CQP (of which he is also the Chair), but said not a word about SSB
Poorly worded, I'd say. It is illegal to run an amp to get to 100 watts Which also prevents use of a KX3 with KXPA100, or even a K2 with its amp. 73, Jim K9YC ________________________________________
Depending on the radio, the receivers in most 12V rigs will at least turn on and run from a fresh stack of 9 AA cells. A K3 draws only 1A in RX mode, +100mA with the 2nd RX. A KX3 draws a quarter of
In my study of the TX Noise produced by current transceivers, I noted the significant advantage enjoyed by users of dirty rigs by pushing other stations away from their TX frequency, and making it di
Carefully study 97.307 (a), (b), and (c). They are FCC RULES, actually, and as I read those paragraphs, a ham using those rigs would be in violation. 73, Jim K9YC ____________________________________
If I had one, I could measure it, but it would be hard to compare my results to the ARRL Lab results. A more interesting question is, what does Yaesu say they changed? Note that I leaked an early ver
What do you feel about it.... I strongly agree with CQ's decision. Russia's invasion of Crimea and eastern Ukraine is a CRIME. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
