I'm hoping the K1N CW pileups die down some before next weekend. Last night there were stations calling them all the way up to 7050. There are two CW contests next weekend - The FOC Marathon and the
Looking for feedback on multi-band bandpass filters to use for SO2R. The two I'm considering are the DuneStar 600 and the Array Solutions BandPasser II. I've used the Dunestar at our contest station
Looking for a place to operate/rent in the Caribbean for WPX CW. Either a Single-Op or Multi. The airline schedule to go to the PJ4 station I usually go to isn't convenient for me without wasting vac
Sorry to be so sarcastic but why? I have to agree with K9YC 100%. I guess I don't see the purpose of these real-time contest websites anyway. Maybe it's just an ego booster for the haves vs. the have
It's interesting to me that with the band change limitations that you have in M/S that the top score in that category is higher than the top M2X score. Even the 2nd place M/S score is close to the to
I don't claim to be an expert on SDR technology. I am pretty familiar with the RBN. I'm curious on how a contest sponsor checks for certain violations , such as transmitting two signals at the same t
Don't see anything wrong with what Ron did. As long as he made a comment that some of the bands might be wrong in the log the log checking software should catch that and the contacts could be manuall
To answer N2IC's question... Maybe my statement about contest cheating and people not being caught might be a little strong, considering I don't personally don't have any evidence. But consider the f
I think some have misunderstood my post. I wasn't talking about the legal power limit. For example if I say I'm running 200 watts that puts me in the low power category. Now if I claim 200 watts ( th

Wow what a tough crowd out there! Change 200 watts to 100 watts. Anyway the point I was trying to make is there are stations who claim they are low power who are cheating by running high power... Jef
Since people aren't playing by the rules maybe CQ should get tough and consider changing the single operator unassisted transmitter class to something similar to rule 3.4.4 that is used for ARRL DX :
Note Randy's first email to Dim is dated 3 months after the contest. So, not having internet access on the way home to UT from FM isn't an issue. He had 5 days starting March 6th to respond. Did anyo
It's sad that UT5UGR went to the lengths he did to try to win a contest. He is a excellent world class operator and didn't need to do what he did. We are now finding out due to some excellent log ana
With the possibility that top scoring stations maybe needing to record the contest I have been doing some research to figure out what we might need to do for our PJ4A contest operations. Wonder if an
The big question is he the only one? Maybe there are others that haven't been caught yet? Unbelievable he got away with this at least 9 times since 2007! And that's only the CQ contests. I think he n
Many good contest dates are available for the 2015-2016 contest season. Only dates that are taken are CQWW SSB and CW and ARRL DX CW and SSB. Anyone who might be interested in using the station pleas
There are a bunch of good contest dates available at the PJ4G contest station this Fall and Winter contest season. The following are still available : 2015 WAE SSB 2015 CQWW DX RTTY 2015 ARRL 160 201
Wondering how those of you using a Six Pack antenna switch hookup your stubs? I have two coax cables from the Six Pack coming into the shack going to each radio. Each station has a multi band Dunesta
Will and others who suggested putting the stub at the antenna side connectors of your Six Packs.... Are your switch boxes at the top or bottom of your tower or inside the shack? The stubs are actuall
