Has anyone run the new Yaesu FT450 in a contest? If so, how does it perform under heavy contest conditions? 73s John AA5JG ____________________________________________________________________________
Hi Kristinn, The K2 is always rated very high by users and the contest community. Maybe a Yaesu FT450SAT or is that too large for your use? 73s John AA5JG http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo
Another good mini mobile HF/VHF/UHF on the used market is the Yaesu FT100D. I have used one for my main base rig (and for roving/mobile operations) off and on for the last 5 1/2 years, and find that
Did anyone in the ARRL DX contest ever catch 4U1UN on 80m? That is the one place I was hoping to get them, but never heard them on 80 nor saw them spotted there. I did work them on 40 and 20, but alr
But isn't the power number like the check in the SS, where the ARRL really doesn't care what you send, as long as you stay consistent throughout the contest? In other words, can't you just pick any n
Did anyone else copy T93J in the ARRL test or was I hearing things? I thought that Bosnia had transferred over to the E7 prefix block by now. 73s John AA5JG __________________________________________
Did anyone run the new Yaesu FT450 in this past weekend's ARRL DX contest? If so, how did it do under contest conditions? I would be interesting in hearing any reports or opinions about it. 73s John
But don't the general rules for all contests cover this? It states: 3.2.All callsigns and exchange information must be sent, received, acknowledged and logged correctly by each station for a complete
Actually, a check of 00 would be nice, as I could then just send TT. Glad the ARRL has said that they don't care what check you send as long as it stays consistent. We should all choose the same chec
Yes, it says that for a completed QSO, each station must send both callsigns, so the running station has to identify for each QSO. 73s John AA5JG _____________________________________________________
Hi Mike, My point in this is that the rules state "the last 2 digits of the year first licensed" but people have stated publically on the reflector that they use other checks, and the ARRL has stated
Signal strength is still supposed to be a subjective estimate. If you look at the description of the RST system, it never says anything about the S portion being an S meter reading. 73s John AA5JG ht
This weekend is the Oklahoma QSO party, which should be good practice for the later contests of the year. Hope to see a few of you on the bands this weekend as I activate Comanche Country, OK from th
I guess someone could have said "One Thousand" which would give a 9th version. If you run the legal limit you can just say "Full". That is a pretty simple exchange. 73s John AA5JG http://lists.contes
whoever If it was between a couple of multi stations, then I guess a tag-team match would be most appropriate! 73s John AA5JG _________________________________________________________________________
And don't forget-the match will be won with help by another contest club interfering while the referee is distracted by someone else! 73s John AA5JG http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-co
And if you look at some of the geography surveys being conducted, many US hams might not know that Missouri, Mississippi, and Mountana are actually part of the US! 73s John AA5JG http://lists.contest
Yeah, but getting on the reflector and complaining is free! 73s John AA5JG http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest ____________________________________________________________________

A local friend has a Kenwood TS850 available which I might be trading for. What serial number range is best for this rig? I understand that you generally want one with the newer DDS chips in it. Also
