With the current rules you only get 4 multi operator scores total. I had 5 of my bigger scores thrown out ( At either PJ4A and WW4LL) because they were multi-operator entries. My qualifying score in
Oh C'Mon!! An east coast station complaining about their propagation ? You got to be kidding right? You really don't realize how well you have it compared to the rest of the country. Only a handful
When K4BAI and I were competitors in Brazil in 2006 our qualifying region included all of W1-W4 with only two teams from that region. Talk about a tough region to have to qualify in! I can tell you t
Bob, The examples you mentioned are true but they are abnomallies. K4BAI and myself did a multi-single from WW4LL for ARRL DX SSB maybe five years ago and won the US. The event that helped us win was
Bob, You need to download the FTDI USB Control drivers as well. http://k1el.tripod.com/WKUSBX.html Then when you plug the WinKeyer into a USB port it should show up on the Device Manager in MS Window
Bob, Forgot to mention the radio control. I just setup a new TS590SG for K4BAI. Go to http://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur/ts_590g/ts590g_update_e.html. You can download the virtual COM por
The 2018 Georgia QSO Party results have be published on our web page at http://georgiaqsoparty.org . We had really good participation this year with close to 400 log submissions. Note an important ch
Wonder if the announcement for the site of the 2022 WRTC will be made at tonight's award dinner? I guess we'll find out later today? Here's an idea for a future WRTC. Hold it at a location near salt
N1MM should generate the correct Cabrillo file for every contest. I know being the person who does the log checking for the Georgia QSO Party that sometimes people edit the generated Cabrillo file. P
That's odd. I didn't have the "0" at the end of the QSO line and it accepted my log OK. Jeff START-OF-LOG: 3.0 LOCATION: GA CALLSIGN: KU8E CLUB: South East Contest Club CONTEST: IARU-HF CATEGORY-OPER
Bob, They are already doing this. They had a box connected to each radio that would indicate to the referee that you were running more than 100 watts. I would assume they would just then ask the com
Not only that. For years the powers to be have been saying that having everyone run low power levels the playing field. Sorry but that's not true. In the January NAQP SSB I ran high power to prove a
Jim, The amount of power you run is not as important as the type of antennas you are using. You can't possible agree that a station running low power and stacked yagis is equal to someone using dipol
So why do we have to group everyone in the same category? I find it more satisfying to find my own QSO's and multipliers vs having everything fed to me via spots. It almost seems like catching fish f
Call me crazy but isn't making contacts on CW antiquated too? Well I sure enjoy it and I bet there are many others out there like me?Just look at the percentage of CW vs SSB contacts made by the,team
I've never understood the reasoning by contest sponsors that you are only considered to be running one transmitter if you are doing SO2R. Most of the serious SO2R guys are running on two bands at the
Yuri, You really need to compare the 1) A boy with Flex 6600, KT36XA (tribander) and dipoles and/or Inv. L's at 80' OR 2) A boy with Kenwood TS-830S, TA33jr at 40' and low dipoles. WITH 3) Someone wi
Seems like a lot of the point and click guys can't even copy CW and depend on the call that was spotted being correct. Try operating from the Caribbean when you are spotted wrong and about 15 of the
The CW Sprint is a couple weekends away. We are putting together some Southeast Sprint Coalition teams. If you are interested send me an email and I can take care of registering the teams. You don't
