DARC firmly requires that multi-transmitter entries in the WAEDC use a single series of serial numbers. Which of the contest logging software packages out there supports this? I understand that most
If I recall the original analysis, the point was not how much gain could be developed in an absolute sense, but how the gain at desirable angles of a beach vertical compared with a portable triband y

It seems as if this job could be reasonably done with some sort of serial-to-bcd converter, appropriately programmed for the Kenwoods, followed by the TopTen style decoders. The trouble with this new
OK, extending the notion one further -- could one use a USB-to-parallel cable (cost, ~$17.00) and supply all the signals currently needed by a standard LPT port SO2R box? All you need to do is contro
