My Drake R4A modified at Drake to the R4B was a great receiver. No phase noise or birdies and when I moved to Atlanta the receiver proved to survive the local QRM of 3 contestants within a 3 mile rad
There are a number of European Countries and even in Asia (Isreal) that allow operation on SSB up to 7200. Perhaps as more stations operate above 7100 this will clear the frequencies from 7040 down o
I keep hearing stories on rates and racing. Maybe the gang with big towers and multi stations fit the bill but if one considers Single Operator contesting there are two types of contest for the media
If you have pictures I need them. You do not have to be a winner. Please make sure we can see a person in front of the rig or antenna if possible. Please make them as small as possible and attach the
Another article was the famous write up by the late Bill Leonard W2SKE in SI in 1958 on one weekend at K2GL during the CQ WW Phone (AM in those days). Really explains who the ops were (one came from

I have 37 logs posted to the 3830 CW List that are missing. Please send logs to k4jrb@juno.com and NOT the 160cw robot. Please inquire first as most logs are in OK. Please QSP this to other lists. Da
W2RU and I ask ARRL to reconsider printing line scores in QST each year with no success. Only Field Day currently has all the scores printed. I agree that a Contest issue is a good idea and the IARU
Wait a minute. Its got to have value to ARRL and the IARU is just international ARRL. I agree the DX HQ stations run up totals ARRL HQ can't match. I would rather see the ARRL SS or DX contests but t
In 1959 it was a three way tie between K6EVR, W5KC, and myself (K5MDX). Since K6EVR was the furthest away he got the trip. W5KC and I got great looking certificates. We also got the Worked all Bermud
