I run a trio of 10 year old 28" monitors here and one of them died a final death this summer. A monitor is very important to me because I like a crisp big screen which is not fatiguing after long hou
I agree, you can't make magic with monitors if you have a fundamental sight issue. In the general case, to fully take advantage of the realestate a big screen offers (or multiple screens provide), yo
Jeff, agree with you. I've never seen any RTTY contesting on WARC bands. Yes, have seen DXpeditions running RTTY into big pileup on WARC bands. Yes, have seen special event activities like W1AW/100 r
