It's part 97. Every FCC amateur licensee should be familiar with Part 97. 97.107 is the relevant section. http://www.arrl.org/part-97-text Ria N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-
I don't have a problem with remote contesting either, as long as it is done legally and ethically. The legality under CEPT for US operations at best is undetermined. ARRL regulatory has one opinion w
Oh come on. If that were the case then 97.107 would not even mention "operating conditions of the alien's license." Privileges are governed by the reciprocal operating agreement AND Privileges are th
I was thinking that as well. My children talk on the radio (under my supervision) They don't have licenses. I keep a list of countries with which we have third party agreements and only talk to those
Somehow RHR manages to do it with their Maine location. If you have reliable stuff you won't have a problem. 73, Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C
Jim - Repeater rules do not apply for HF internet remote bases. There is a whole section of Part 97 (97.205) that deals with repeaters. Repeaters are a special subclass of automatically controlled st
I would just like to say thanks to Tim, K3LR for his presentation at Hamcom today. I learned a few things I didn't already know, and I see a few things being added to my tool box. Also nice seeing Bo
Who is using JT65 in a RTTY contest??? That seems like an utter waste of time. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://l
One of my friends has a Davis, and I'm looking into getting one. I even set it up with a Raspberry Pi and WeeWX for him to free his Windows PC from weather duties. Works pretty well. 73 Ria, N2RJ ___
The world above 50MHz is well ahead of the curve when it comes to assistance, weak signal modes and other technology. For example in some contests you can use chat rooms and telephone to solicit cont
JT9 also uses a lot less bandwidth. I'm not sure if many on 6 are using it though Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://li
Whenever I operate a 1x1 I always ID with my own call every 30 minutes at least. Usually every 10 out of habit. Ria N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Con
The first time I applied for one (for a club) I did read part 97 about ID requirements but it seemed rather ambiguous. The FCC fact sheet doesn't seem to say which callsign should be used: https://ww
On Phone "This is N2RJ operating W5T" is what I usually do. Or on CW - DE W5T OP N2RJ Never really had confusion, in the times I operated a special event. Even if the callers aren't aware of the rule
Was it the FCC or an OO card? From what I have observed, actual humans making one time mistakes aren't really picked up by the FCC. Repeated patterns of deliberate violations are. The FCC doesn't hav
Hi Rudy, They aren't needed if you're close to the water. Many have used verticals on the beach with great success. Especially since we are headed for solar minimum low bands will be more easily done
I borrowed an IC7300 for a few weeks, just to play with it and compare to my other rigs (Flex-6700 and Icom 756ProIII). Performance of the 7300 was adequate for running pileups, and low band work. I
Truth be told though, I am happy that the massive cheating uncovered a few years ago was dealt with. However I get the idea that the contest committee isn't really sure about how to deal with it, so
Hmm. Not really. What's my exchange? It's not NA. It's NAY and I'm worth 10 points instead of 3. Yet when I make a call, other stations will sometimes say "TU" before I finish, which means that they
