1) Maybe and 2) technically, no, but, sort of... Cabrillo is not what takes care of it. In fact, Cabrillo lists no multipliers (unless it was part of the exchange). What does take care of it is the
The point being made is: if you do not find your call in the other guy's log, you remove the QSO from yours, thus avoiding the penalty. Mike N2MG ________________________________________________ Peop
I think the ARRL 10 Meter Contest makes for a better comparison than ARRL DX. US/VE works everyone, DX works US/VE. In the 10m contest, DX is recognized with a few "boxes". Not so in ARRL 160m. DX st
other tape as (.49cents All the electrical tape I've used exhibits the same characteristic - the adhesive "bleeds". I hold my coiled up wire with leftover pieces of 14g or 12g solid from Romex (house
Ivo, The reflectors are only back up since a day or two ago after a major hardware disaster. The archives are another story and are only barely functional. Hopefully they'll get fixed soon. Dave, KM3
In my current (lack of) antenna situation I find that I absolutely must be the first signal heard to catch the ear of the station calling CQ (assuming multiple callers). I cannot be slow on the resp
My "technique", FWIW, is used only for answering run-of-the-mill stations where there might be one or two others. It has nothing to do with working large pileups. Those are completely different anima
Even this could be a mistake - afterall, he might just be TESTing his equipment. You are never really certain if you hear only a partial transmission. I usually opt to wait for one "over" to be sure
It takes practice (if one even cares) to avoid this distraction. I found the freeware pileup programs good in this regard - forcing myself to (try to) copy the first call I focused on. Doesn't always
If one looks at this in the context of the CQ 160 contest, then while what Richard has outlined sure sounds like "assisted", CQ 160 doesn't even have an assisted single-op category. http://www.cq-ama
Has anyone has ordered and received anything of the Hygain flavor (tribanders, monobanders, rotators, parts) since MFJ acquired them? 73 Mike N2MG ________________________________________________ Peo
A quick search in eHAM's links database for "cabrillo" yields: http://www.cabrillotools.com/ Is that it? 73 Mike N2MG ________________________________________________ PeoplePC: It's for people. And i
eHAM's current speakout question is basically, "Are there too many contests?" http://www.eham.net/speakout/opinions/151 There's a response from a QRP guy who started off saying how he thought contest
This even happens to W2s. <g> I had this done "to me" by a certain K1 powerhouse. I had already worked a couple of guys and had a small run going when he came back and told me "that's the way it work
What happens if you overhear a single-op passing a mult to another band? What happens if some do-gooder tells you that JT1 is just up the band? -Mike N2MG ____________________________________________
I think what it comes down to is that folks are beginning to believe that "the other guys" have no respect for the contest and the rules. The perception is that there is a lot of breaking or at least
I took no major offense to what happened or assume anything "personal" was involved which is why I did not mention your call nor would I have. On 10m at that time of day, 45-60 seconds is enough time
This isn't ALWAYS the case, as often I'll ignore a QRL? or QRZ? if I'm trying to dig out a call or exchange on my "own" frequency. It's a risk you need to take sometimes. But 45 seconds of dead air *
No, you're wrong, Leigh. I never asked the reflector for compassion, forgiveness or judgement. I originally used the "event" to make a point about SO2R perhaps being a "disadvantage". John said that
This is the SO2R disadvantage I hinted at previously. 'Course, one doesn't have to be SO2R to pass mults. -Mike N2MG ________________________________________________ PeoplePC: It's for people. And it
