Do you need two computers? Or can you use one? I might stop by Micro Center to pick up an extra keyboard if I can use both with the same PC. 73 Ria, N2RJ _____________________________________________
Are the beacon frequencies (eg. 14.100) still in operation? I see a some RTTY stations this weekend transmitting there... I think if they are operational those frequencies need to be avoided. There w
All this is is a friendly reminder, nothing more. And while WSJT users dont have exclusive rights they take only a small slice of the band. They also mostly run low power. We have the room. Spread ou
At least for US stations it's on Thanksgiving weekend. Lots of people out of town or otherwise occupied. I wish it was on a different weekend but it is what it is. I did like for RTTY that you could
If that is the case then we shouldn't be able to contact US stations for the country and zone mult. I find this to be an anomaly for two reasons: 1. You try to contact US stations to get the zone and
You'd probably get ICEd anyway by the 75 meters crowd. If you're not going, please consider giving me the room at CP. :) 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailin
I think that beyond a certain number it really doesnt matter all that much. I believe it was W8JI who was saying past 80dB or so most humans really dont notice the difference. But I can tell you goin
Ive been meaning to change things up anyway, just to keep them on their toes. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting
Some people might get upset by this, but I'll say it anyway: Common sense would dictate that the idea of a contest is to measure who can put most of what they work on the air into the log, in a nutsh
Then so be it. If they want to not risk busted QSOs they'll copy what's sent and not rely on what's in the database. I am not even sure what year I was licensed. The "on their toes" part was a joke,
It also sounds like the check can be either the operator or the station. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.co
Agreed 100% with that. Any off-air means (except your own brain) to determine callsign or exchange should be assisted. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
The rules are always ambiguous. Some things go beyond the rules. Some are common sense. Not using external sources for the data you're supposed to be copying on-air seems like common sense. This is l
I also fail to understand why people get angry that what is sent doesn't match the prefills. People move, people operate in different categories, and yes, sometimes the date of licensing may change d
That is an excellent synopsis of why we should copy what is sent. Spot on. Here is another scenario that plays out in DX contests especially that is pertinent. In a recent contest I was running on 40
JT modes can do a 13 character exchange so thats not really a problem. As for AA DX, I like that one too, but I never send my real age. I just dont feel its necessary. I just send 00. Whats amazing i
I used to use hamlog before the FlexRadio iOS app added a logbook feature. Hamlog is decent for the price and includes a lot of tools. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest maili
Just throwing this out there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXo4hYKqIVM FlexRadio Wideband Noise Blanker (WNB). Yes, this video is real. Best is to eliminate the noise source, but beyond that, SDR
This really seems like a stupid technicality that they were disqualified on. The country list is here: http://dxmarathon.com/countrieslist/countrieslist.htm The best fix I think is to add these UN en
Hi Terry, Thanks for your explanation. With all due respect though, this doesn't look like an explanation, but rather a half baked (I would like to use a different word but I must be respectful) atte
