Think probably has a good deal less to do with the exciter than how the amplifier is driven. Particularly those amps that need only 65 watts to drive it to 1.5 kW. The loading needs to be backed off
ARRL will only take cabrillo, and they have a robot which bounces the log email if something is amiss. Otherwise they have the same problems you do. I think that eventually the idea has to go away th
Have a look at the meter (carrier level indicator) on this photo of an excellent condition pre-WW2 RME 69. http://www.nucleus.com/~jordana/rme69dials.jpg Calibration is 0-72 db in six db steps, with
I don't think you've quite addressed the confusion. Should the first paragraph in 6. read: Prohibited activities: For single op in any category, use of internet-based and/or radio-based spotting syst
...snip... Yes, indeed. Could be and IS. I've had a C31 for years. The separate feedline "option" for the C31 is QUITE the stretch. The numbers some previous posters have quoted are conservative to m
Yup, definitely. The W3NJN QRO filters certainly do not have any dippy-dink caps, all appropriately sized. Cost more money, but in line after the amps they simply killed the problem. Worth every bit
I don't see anything in the documentation about the current carrying capabilities of these. Did I miss something? 73, Guy. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C
I see the current max data on the pdf pointed out to me, but more spec sheets seem to have no data on current data. Does someone know of a listing for 5 or 10kV QRO caps with current ratings? 73, Guy
As I have heard it, all one of those DXpedition contest entries need do is to send in an email note IN ADVANCE of the contest advising you will be out of contact, give your schedule of return and sub
PLENTY good reason to send an email to questions@cqww.com for a waiver before you head down. Tell them contest then sight seeing, then travel home, then process. I don't think they'll blink an eye. B
I think that people need to be responsible for inspecting their own logs, and reading instructions that plainly say that the last log from a station will be used, etc, etc. That is NOT the contest or
Oh, this is one of my very favorite rants... Gargle, gargle, ahummm, arghhh, cough... Trumpet entry, please. \Rant mode on\ Every time you place or replace coax outside, either do it with hardline or
How would you view editing them coming back from a break, but before you started calling CQ again? 73, Guy. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesti
There is no way to put listening time into a cabrillo log. The log checkers run their own time calculation off the cabrillo. So is the listening time rule still on the books? If it is, it can't be se
That's easy, particularly toward the end of the contest. All of a sudden you get an intense pile up of dupes on your run, who seem not to be able to read your call sign, even though you send it over
There is that little thing called XIT. And there is that other thing called listening. And there is that other little thing that if 99 stations are calling at exactly 14.045.600 and I have my XIT at
I use an offset of 50-60 Hz, which by some unknown general mental process, seems to be just enough to avoid being in the inseparable monotonic muddle. Calling up 200 or 300 Hz I think properly invoke
I think the main dish on the plate here should be thanks for a job done so well for so long. However anything else gets sliced, Bob is one of the "Iron Men" -- someone who did a good thing for a lot
This discussion has no end. It cannot possibly resolve. It will stop when all are weary and tired of reading about it. One side of this discussion always has to be held in tension with the other. Nei
That's the thing...the discussions just went on and on and on and on and on and on. You can look it up in the archives. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Cont
