I just want to mention a couple of clear rule violations that were occuring this weekend: A) The rules state that 28300 to 28350 is a "no-contest" area, yet the segment was loaded with DX stations ca
Here are the violated rules directly from the ARRL web site: 6.3 All entrants may transmit only one signal on the air at any given time. 6.4 The frequencies from 28.3 through 28.35 MHz are designated
I think you answered your own question! No mults = no activity = no 160 and little 10 for now. 73, Ty K3MM -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: cq-con
I dont think it's any big secret about 40 being open til about noon on the east coast. The problem is that we are still working Texas no matter what band we're on! All east coasters should refuse to
Unfortunately, I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. Besides CQWW, there is little log checking that is done and even then it is haphazard at best. CQWW has a great bunch of guys that are dedi
It's highly unlikely that the tree limbs were the actual cause of the interference. It's more likely they were causing movement in some other loose hardware on a nearby pole. One thing to keep in min
Shortening the contest wont change the results at all....just lower the scores overall. I would suggest that anyone who's tired of "losing" from anywere outside of 1,2, or 3 land by a plane ticket an
The only advantage of being further west and south is better propagation into the Far East and better trans-equatorial propagation. It's fairly rare when the JA, etc., activity is good enough to even
*How about the JARL contests or Asia sprints or VK/ZL contests? *I'd like the chance to compete for a free round trip to JA from the East Coast! *I think we should have double points for 80 meters du
Well, I thought I gave my suggestions a long time ago. As far as the time period goes, I really dont care that much. It's just another facet of the contest, whichever way it goes...I just dont like a
I would suggest that the reason full-time activity is poor is that it is too late in the season. There are only a handful of us nutty enough spend a beautiful weekend indoors instead of out doing ant
None of this proves anything. You can be logged in, having the cluster send you spots, and not display them on your screen by selecting the appropriate class in CT or NA (TR?). The bottom line is tha
I recently assembled a new computer from parts, using an IBM P150+ (Pentium clone) processor and discoverd to my horror that it is generating huge amounts of RF in the ham bands, particularly on 160

There are few contests that use this format and they are all small and will remain small. The only contest that comes to mind that currently uses this format is the SARTG and it's, can I politely say
That's great, except the last rev number should be 9.27! 73, Tyler K3MM I forward the following exchange to the CT reflector without further comment. Fred Hopengarten, K1VR Six Willarch Road; Lincoln
I'm with you, Larry. I think there is a time and place for using the alpha-bits...and that is when signals are generally loud and/or when you are running and/or running high power. Actually with the
This is all very interesting...but what we really need is an independent third-party analysis of what happens to both of these philosophies when loaded with 1/2" radial ice and a little wind comes al
Maybe I'm the only one, but while I really liked DOS DXbase as a product, I've been unhappy with the support. I shelled out what I consider above average bucks at Dayton for version 4.5 (2 years ago?
Well, DXBase already has some of the most inconvenient, restrictive copy protection around, so I aint buyin' that argument. I'm sure they would have wanted $15 or $25 to issue a new 4.5 registered to
