I think SO2R and SO1R should be in different classes. I admire the skills those SO2R operators have and appreciate the investment they have made both in equipment and in the time needed to learn to t
Hi Steve, You make a very good point. Just to make something clear. I do not have the operating skills to post a winning score in any big contest, even if I had the radios and antennas that would be
This brings up a question I've had for years..... When I call a running station and they have a hard time copying me and keep asking for my call, maybe 3 or 4 times, I feel like a lid for breaking t
Interesting discussion. I can understand why some people do not want to post all their data. What would be wrong with only showing the total score in real time, or near real time? This would not be g
I sent a log in as a check log a few years ago. Here's why: I had a TS930. No connection to the computer. Not sure which contest it was but think it may have been WPX CW. Anyway I was on 20m. I'd swi
I sure hope it didn't do that. The log checker for that contest said that he would note my band error and not NIL people. And he did say that he wanted the check log. I trust that he did the right th

Hi Steve, I agree with what you say in that 17m example.... until you get to the last line. Here is why I disagree about checking your own callsign on something like the RBN during a contest. If you
During a 2 year period I did 6 contests on 160m, 2 ARRL, 2 Stew Perry and 2 CQ 160m. Each contest I heard MS and the only NE state I needed but never could get so much as a ? from any of them! That w

When we lived in ID several of us would get together each week or so and talk about DX. One time someone mentioned they got a DX QSL that was blank.... no QSO data filled in. There was a note to plea
One time several years and QTH's ago I had a few thousand feet of very small enamel coated wire. Must have been about number 32 or so. I used that for radials on my 40m phased verticals in Idaho and
Not sure how the shipping would be to you in Cuba but Max-Gain Systems, mgs4u.com/UHF.htm#UHFmale_solderon has the right connectors for RG-6 along with almost any other type of coax you have. OK, bac
The reasons I have for liking the NAQP might be a bit different than some, but here they are: Because it's a NA based contest those of us who don't have big antenna systems and/or don't live around t

You're not the only one who feels that way Tony, I've said for a long time that SO1R and SO2R should be separate classes. OK, back in my hole, Ron, KU7Y Arizona Outlaws Contest Club Northern Californ
Hi Rudy, just in knowing when to do things like change bands. And many multipliers were found on the 2nd band that I would not have otherwise worked. And I am not a skilled SO2R op. panadaptors it's
