I've never done 2BSIQ but I think most people who do it setup N1MM Logger as SO2R and alternate CQ's between the two radios like N2IC said. When they are working someone on one radio and copying the
Al, That's our experience with the PJ4A remote. One of the co-owners of Beloud.us , Fred WW4LL, is available via his phone and very responsive to troubleshooting issues if you rent the station on Bo
I agree Jim It only benefits a very small number of people. Checking the 3830 scores I only have only seen three entities in this category of which only a couple seemed to be serious efforts. I curio
MikeI don't think they were interlocked because they were operating from multiple different station locations with the same callsign on different bands. I think the WPX rule is that all the stations
No one mentioned the Kenwood TS590SG. I own one that I use as a 2nd radio. I think it's a pretty good radio. When I do SO2R with bandpass filters there doesn't seem to be any interference between it
I'm not trying to be negative but with all due respect if this was such an exciting break thru why were there only a few entries in this so called exciting new category (?) Anyone can invite a youth
A distributed operation is no different than what the IARU HQ stations do in the IARU contest so it's nothing new. Note that the ARRL doesn't count these scores in IARU for any awards. They are liste
Again echoing what Jim said I don't see what operating at different locations in a distributed fashion has anything to do with mentoring young operators. They will probably never operate on their own
Rich, I don't think Ray is being criticized about opening his stations on Remote Ham Radio to new (youth) contesters. He has lots of enthusiasm about doing that. Good for him. I think the whole issue
The 61st annual *Georgia QSO Party *is this weekend. The operating periods are */Saturday 1800Z (2:00 PM EDST)/**/until 0359Z Sunday ( Saturday 11:59 PM EDST)/* AND/*Sunday - 1400Z (10:00 AM EDST) u
N1MM Logger Plus already has a CW reader. See https://n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/manual-windows/cw-reader-window/ Most modern radios also have a CW reader built in. Jeff I have run into ops using voice recog
A friendly reminder that today if the log submission deadline for the 2021 Georgia QSO Party. I will accept logs until midnight today. Jeff KU8E _______________________________________________ CQ-Con
Hopefully they won't mess with CQWW too. I have much respect N6TJ's comments because he's a Hall of Fame contester and knows what he's talking about. Jeff KU8E I used to look forward to WPX and even
"Everyone makes their own choice about how to operate the contest and whether to submit a log or not." That's a pretty arrogant statement. You operate the way we want for you to be competitive and if
When I was 17 years old and living in Euclid, Ohio I dabbled in contesting and worked this K8MR guy on all the bands in the CD Parties. It turned out he was a neighbor of mine on the east side of Cle
I remember the smoke filled room at the ARRL National convention in Louisville, KY (back in the 1990's ?) where the concept of the NAQP was conceived. The ARRL CD parties had just been discontinued a
Make sure you put torrid's on all the cabling from the computer to the radio. It can be challenging using a computer when you are rovering and the antenna is less than 5 feet away. Jeff The laptop I
With all due respect I don't know why CQ allowed this category in the first place. IMO it was used to promote and get publicity for a remote ham radio company. The owner of that company will argue th
So CQ appears to be open to adding new categories? I find this interesting considering that a prominent member of the CQ Contest Committee made a comment during the Dayton Contest University that "we
I just don't get why this M/M Distributed category is taking up so much bandwidth on the reflector. There were only about 11 entries posted on 3830. Not exactly a game changer that effected the major
