RESULTS - 14th INTERNET SPRINT by N6TR & K2MM The 14th Internet Sprint (SprINT) contest was held during the last hour of 1999 and the first hour of 2000. This was the ultimate test for your computer
The TS850 is a popular radio in contesting. I have recently had an alarming failure rate of a specific component. I would like to know if other people have seen the same problem or not. If you have h
Sure are a lot of interesting threads going on. A few comments from my perspective: Coax switches at WRTC: I think the intent of this rule has more to do with preventing some kind of multi operation
The real key here is what does "okay" mean. Is it an accepted practice - not generally. Is it illegal - I would say not. I think we pretty sign a waiver eliminating protection from QRM when we enter
This type of problem is almost always the result of a ground loop. If the ground for the microphone is connected to any other ground you will end up with hum 90 percent of the time. It is important

What data do you base that statement on? I don't believe this is true. Do you have checking reports from your own efforts to back this up? This would be very easy to figure out - because PA0XYZ would
