David, AB7E, you are totally wrong about digital modes effecting CW. This is a big problem on 40 meters during any domestic CW contest. 7040 and 5 khz on either side is unusable during any CW contest
Maybe it's some other digital mode? But I hear it all the time around 7040. Only have tried FT8 on 6 meters so not sure of the exact HF frequencies. Jeff Jeff Clarkeku8e@ku8e.com Last I looked 707
The same reasoning could probably be used for NP3X (Not NP2X) operating from VI. Technically they are all US call signs. Another good example is all the one by one K calls (for example K1B in the Bak

Jim, It doesn't make sense for someone in the northeast to listen for the west coast until Europe is gone. Why would you give up 5 point QSO's and a chance to work a bunch of multipliers to focus on
Thank you for breaking up the W4 call area into separate regions !!! We've never had a chance to be competitive against the guys north of us in VA and NC in DX contests. I probably don't have a big
Here is a suggestion based on what I know about propagation : NA #1 - 2 teams - W1/W2 - Maybe separate this into two regions. One for W1 and the other for W2 NA #2 - 1 team - Canada - VE1-VE3, VO1/2,
Anything you can't hear with your human ears isn't real radio. At least with digital modes such as RTTY you can hear something. In many FT8 contacts the signal might be as much as 20db below the nois

I have an older Heil Proset. It's much more comfortable than the newer Heil stuff. I also have a Yamaha CM-500 but have never got around to doing the mod to make it work on SSB. Jeff On 3/20/2019 10:
Time to book a trip to the Caribbean :) It's always good there! Jeff KU8E I am having more fun contesting now than ever. 73 - Mark N5OT You have made other statements about the demise of contesting.
If you're into FT8 there seems to be plenty of DX spotted on a daily basis to keep your typical DXer happy despite the bad radio conditions. Can you see the scenario in the future that those casual c

Agree 100% with Steve. I'm amazed every year when I look at my log check reports and see people who have logged me in either OH or zone 4. I haven't lived in Ohio for 16 years. I'm active in just abo
Jim,Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with a logging program filling in the zone. The bottom line is you just need to make sure you correctly log what was sent. Checking our PJ4A report
