I suppose because in many contests a signal report is part of the exchange. why 599? I guess because most times you have to have a signal strength of 9 just to be heard at all. I guess real RST's sho
But then the assumption you are in 08 is bad to fall into isn't it if you are not as in like my case a 9 lander in Wisconsin, but in 07, of I sent that lightning fast, this also would probably go int
Or do a contest where people actually send real signal reports. It's been a LONG time since i ever did that. And tonight i started playing with the QRP Sprint, and most if not all were sending real s

I've gotten around the you tube audio only problem by using any video editing software like windows movie maker even. I add a single static picture and then add the sound track to it. hey it works..
