For the most part, hams are expected to self-police. This hobby is like that, or at least supposed to be. I don't think your past actions are irrelevant in the least. It establishes the fact that you
I have been using the spectrum display. It works but a lot of the time you still need to fine tune, especially if you're tuning to someone who is splattering a lot. It's very good but not perfect. Mo
I have been using a spectrum scope since the IC756PROIII. Now I use a flex. Its not really that much of a help. Sure, I can see where signals are but its blind. There is no decoding. So I still have
Im using a flex and the audio is generated in the radio and comes out through a headphone jack in the front. The only thing I have to use ethernet for is control. Just like someone who uses a K3 and
Im looking at helping YLRL modernize the YL-OM contest. Is there a place where I can get a toolkit of cabrillo log acceptance and checking software? Things like a log robot and software to cross chec
Friends - I would like to make a note of a correction of the date of the YL-OM contest. It is February 9-11 not Feb 2-4 as stated in QST and other places. Ive informed Bruce Horn of the changes and t
Lots of software does that now. Even podcasts on iOS can play your podcasts faster, so listening to ARNewsline can be done on your trip to the store. _______________________________________________ C
I think this is a fantastic idea. It would also eliminate category swapping. You know, someone sees they could win a plaque by entering their M/2 effort as M/M, or their SO as SOA. Technically catego
Hi Doug, Kudos for transparency. A little bit goes a long way. Seems a lot of us were unaware of the actual reason for recording. Seems like the recording is a 2nd chance for the operator to redeem t
I think we agree on that but we cant simply apply the rules unevenly because of what someone has done in the past. However the explanation given by Doug has pointed to either log padding or contacts
I think the rule is fine as-is. Unless you have a time machine there is no way you can go back and make a recording which you didnt make during the contest. So requiring it for competitive top 5 is O
I don't know if you can do this currently but a good workaround would be to exclude a frequency range. FT8 only operates on small 2-3kHz areas. I think it is unlikely other modes will be there becaus
Fair? Nothing is fair... might as well require everyone to operate with the same antennas and location while youre at it. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Co
The logic that one cannot improve ones callsign demand is flawed because many use different callsign in WPX. In fact you use AC1U. If they were to truly make it fair they would require everyone to us
Ed, Would the situation be different for someone formerly stationed at Wake Island who moved back stateside and still retains their KH9 call? Just curious as to where you draw the line. Ria N2RJ ____
When I worked at the UN at the secretariat building in New York it was considered not US soil and they broke a lot of city regulations - smoking in offices and the delegates lounge for example. The o
My guess, just a guess - is that the puerto rico folks are protesting the situation on the territory where they have NO POWER. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
The fact that we are now talking about it is reason aplenty they should have done it. People are dying and I think thats much more important than a radio contest. I support their right to protest and
