With all the talk about low NA Sprint SSB activity I thought I would mention the SC QSO party. It's coming up this Saturday. Rules are at scqso.com. Participation has been low in the past and it isn'
Jim, You've convinced me about the need to clean up transmitters. So much so that I have no intention of using my FT1000MP MkV Field for much more than casual q's from the work shop and to listen on
Haven't read the rules in detail (at work on break and not enough time!), but wouldn't there be some responsibility for the operator of the remote station (which is a transmitter here in the U.S. ope
I'll answer what I'm sure many are thinking Trent. Extra class operators in the US have phone privileges down to 7125 now. As far as operating out of band though, I have done it -- unintentionally. A
Thanks Ward! I laughed out loud for almost 30 seconds. Kevan N4XL I recommend QDQ. 73, Ward N0AX _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http
Yan's comments about the object of sound recordings being available seemed well thought out to me. He recognizes although it is not fool proof it is a step in the right direction. Two others have pos
Mike, W0MU, sent me a reply to my questions. He stated his emails are being censored by the moderator and that might very well be so. Respecting the moderator I won't forward his reply. Reading it th
Are you reading my private emails Ken? Your points are pretty close to word for word of what some of the things I said to Mike, W0MU, in our off line email exchange. I agree with you. Kevan N4XL "I w

Hans, I sympathize with the hearing loss. Mine is on the downhill slide itself, but not too bad yet. We had a brief discussion about code readers on our local contest club reflector. Some felt the sa

Maarten, I believe I was the first to mention "sore loser", not Jeff. He shouldn't bear the brunt of return comments on that one. Kevan N4XL _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
Although I've been talking up assisted operation to our local contest group, I have to agree with Kelly, Steve and others on this one Pete. I'm thinking maybe your great work with the RBN and N1MM (w
Hi Scott, You wrote: But how, exactly, is a little pistol to procure a run frequency when every open band is packed wall to wall, and stacked three deep, with big guns calling CQ? Dont know if youre
Please explane me, and many others in the word, difference between D1 and Z6 status, taking into consideration ITU regulations, without any political explanations. Thank you in advance. - - - - - - -
See General Rules IX - 7 for the rule that disallows alternating CQ's. Mike, the rule doesnt apply. For those stations having more than one rig on a band at the same time only one is calling CQ. The
Sorry, this is very long. A lot of related thoughts to tie together to make my case. Ward says: I would prefer in the long term that QSOs are submitted in real-time and verified shortly thereafter so
Thanks for feedback Kelly and I don't assume anyone is inferior to me. Agree with your point about infrastructure and Heard Island and understood there are situations the ability to get a real time s
