Lets see now...... Maybe someone who isn't all that nice posts the wrong call just to help the other stations get some points taken away! If you don't stick around and get the call with your own ears
Hi All, I just don't see what the problem is. To me, contesting is a way to measure yourself to see if you are getting any better at the things you like to do. (Well, one thing anyway!). As a single
Hi George and All, Several people knew the trick..... Hit "Sub" and while the sub RX display is still blinking hit the 500 filter button and BINGO.... it works! I want to thank everyone who responded
No, no, no.... We need to keep QRP alive! 73, Ron, SOWP 5545M, .........KU7Y.....ARCI #8829.....Monte "Ron" Stark..... ....ku7y@sage.dri.edu...........Washoe Lake, Nevada.... ....QRP-L #17...ARS #49.
I installed a 500 hz filter in the sub RX. I turned the menu item [5-8] "ON". George (from Inrad) said to set up the main RX with a narrow filter and then hit the A>B button. I tried that but still n
Hi All, I'd like to invite you all to come have fun in the QRP ARCI Spring QSO Party starting on the 10th of April. Many new operators get their feet wet contesting in the QRP contests. This is a goo
Hi All, I'd like to invite everyone to look over the new award from the QRP ARCI. The first contest that "counts" is this weekend. Come join in on the fun if you can. I'll be running 240 mW and looki
I also like the close checking. Two things seem obvious.... One is that the object is to take and put information to and from the "air" onto paper. This involves several skills, with copying CW being
I'd like to make an observation.... As a QRPer in most contests I am not in a position to wiggle my way in and clear out a hole! I am usually the one getting moved! But that's OK because I understand
Intresting......the same holds true for me. I wonder if others who enjoy only (mostly) CW see the same thing? If so, does it really mean anything? 73, Ron, SOWP 5545M, .........KU7Y.....ARCI #8829...
Hi All, Anyone out there care to join the Sprint fun using QRP? Mark is going to keep the QRP scores marked so we can tell who we are! Come join the fun and show us how it's done! :-) If you are inte
Hi Fred, "No wonder they go somewhere else for their fun and the hobby is drying up." I have been hearing this since I got my first license in 1953. Seems that there was something like 50,000 hams in
Hi Dale, I disagree completely! The DX operator asks all of us to log him with all kinds of goofy stroke this and that's! But that's OK because our time isn't worth anything. The excuse that you don'
Hi Larry and all, Maybe I misunderstood stood.. I don't use /qrp in contests very often. Now and then when calling CQ just to let someone know why I might be weak and that they really can work me! Bu
I'd like to add something from a different viewpoint. Last weekend I plugged in the mic and tried making a few contacts on SSB. After 45 years of hamming I thought it would be a nice thing to do! :-)
I am getting confused. (Nothing new it that! Been working on it for almost 62 years now!) But.... if you are "running" stations and you "work" XX1XX and then find that you are not in the log, maybe y
Intresting.... I have a 930 as my second radio. Sometimes it doesn't "turn on". In other words I press the on button and the display doesn't come on. (Neither does the radio). I don't know if this is
I use an ON-ON-ON toggle switch. When it's flipped to the left, it's the left radio in both ears, to the right it's the right radio in both ears and in the center it's one in each ear. I use a small
Hi Jim & All, I've heard conversations like this for most of the 45+ years I've been involved in Amateur radio. We are the people who should be at the front of new techonlogy, right? Solid state, SSB
