Maybe this will give them a reason to finally tear it down ! Looked about the same as always. 73, de Hans, KØHB Just a Boy and his Radio -- *From:* CQ-Contest <cq-contest-bounces@contesting.com> on b
Why are people talking about some digital mode on a reflector that's supposed to be for contesting? It's never going to be the dominant mode for contesting... at least I hope not. If you're getting e
I was on 6 meters last night for the first time this season. The band was open really good from here in Georgia to the east coast of the US. Unfortunately there wasn't much activity on either CW or S
Wonder if the contest sponsors could modify their log checking program to calculate your grid square? That should probably tell them what ITU zone you and the stations you work are in. On SSB you wor
Hi Dennis, I can't say that I really like FT8 that much. I just do it to increase my score and only went to that mode when I heard no other signals on either CW or SSB. I ended up with 101 CW QSO's,
Sure it maybe suck in DX contests from the west coast but all is not lost because you do enjoy an advantage in domestic contests.The same could be said about not hearing Asia and Southeast Asia from
Why not move all digital communications (including FT8/FT4) above 7100 ? Here is the FCC frequency allocation for the lower part of 40 meters the US: 7.025-7.125 MHz : CW, RTTY/Data The same applies
Didn't someone create a FT8 contest reflector? It would be nice to take all these comments over there. Seems like FT8 is monopolizing the contest reflector just like it is on the air. Seems like the
The 2019 Georgia QSO Party results have been published on our web page at http://georgiaqsoparty.org/ . Thanks everyone for your participation and we hope to see you next year on the 2nd full weekend
Agree Ed Contesters and DXer's are the biggest spenders in amateur radio by far. You would think they would have articles that would target that segment of amateurs so the advertisers get their bang
The accuracy leaders table on the ARRL contest webpage is incorrect for some of the categories. http://www.arrl.org/files/file/ContestResults/2019/Accuracy%20Tables%20-%202019%20-%20Version%201_0.pdf
I'm not trying to be disrespectful but the ARRL Contest Manager job at the ARRL has to be a thankless and low paying job. The person who takes that position probably has to have another income to be
I need a few more people to fill out our Southeast Sprint Coalition Teams. I have just myself on team #2. If you are going to be on for the CW Sprint and want to join one of our teams we would be lov
You might also try Springboro, Ohio. I missed the Hamvention last year but went a couple years ago after deciding to go at the last minute. I stayed at a Hampton Inn. The distance from Springboro to
Ed, Curious what is the situation is that you mentioned around the Crowne Plaza? I'm from Ohio and as far as I know the area (The Oregon District) where the shooting took place is not a bad area. In
I would like to offer my perspective as someone who has attended the Hamvention since the late 1970's. I've stayed at the Crowne Plaza many times over the years and just drove there from my home QTH
It has more rooms 399 vs 287 and more conference rooms 19 vs 12 than the Crowne Plaza. Plus I bet the parking is better. It's sometimes a challenge to get a spot in the parking garage at the CP with
I sure would like to have that problem after having another mediocre SS score. But I guess GA isn't that rare :( BTW great participation in Sweepstakes by you guys in Canada this weekend! I counted
Ed, Some of these FT8 guys sure seem territorial like nets, SSTVer's and DXer's. I had several FT8 stations intentionally send digital on top of me during the ARRL 160 contest this weekend. I was at
