I believe so Pete. Take a look at the picture in the write-up. Certainly at least three are in series. It may be that it is three in series and those three are in parallel with a second three in seri
Pete, et. al. This article has been on the web site for some time. As I recall the translation was fairly straightforward so I would assume one could use the in-line translators to get at least the e
I may live to regret this but I am going to make the offer anyway. During the 30 hours of last weekend's SS I recorded my station activity -- both the transmitted audio and the received audio. For th
Well, I had a lot of requests but was not inundated. If there are still a few out there who would like to get the snippet of their QSO with me send me an email with your request to => tod@k0to.us To
I had this happen when operating in the vicinity of 14.275 MHz. The station who declared he was hearing splatter said his call was KZ8O and he was in Michigan. I checked with a number of other statio
You are absolutely correct Tom -- there is no way I would knowingly call on top of any station. My recording of the SS last weekend has many, many segments where I asked three times if anyone was usi
It has been said that "plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery". I am in agreement with the thought that it would not be appropriate to "imitate" the Stew Perry Contest. However, it might be app
I remember that event quite well -- I was the ARRL Board Liaison to the Contest Advisory Committee and reported to the Board the 'feelings' of the Committee and significant number of US amateurs. Th
I would like to submit an RIT to Tree's request for QNZ. When things were good last weekend I would be hearing more than one station [10? 15?] responding to my CQ. That was great and most likely beca
I checked Wikipedia. There is an extensive section on Amateur Radio Contesting already in place. Why not just expand that section to contain the information that people believe should be included. Th
Interesting, I am afraid I did not appreciate what you had in mind. Sounds 'daunting' but probably no more so than starting a Contest Journal. One has to be oblivious to the many offered suggestions
Well Pat, since you are the first guy to offer a place to sign up I have signed up at ContestWiki.com I may be the second one signed up [K2DBK seems to be the first person to submit material] . The f
I am planning to recalibrate and, if needed, repair my MFJ-259B. It may be that it has one or more bad bridge diodes. 1. Has anyone on this list recalibrated a unit of this type and, if so, would you
I like the way you put things Randy. I guess that is because it matches exactly my thinking on the subject. Tod, K0TO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contes
Jeez Steve: I am not 89 but I sure don't want young folks making excuses for my strange behavior just because I am older than they are. If I do or say something dumb I am entitled to every 'lump' tha
Going back in history -- The objective of Field Day has been declared to be to promote self training by licensed amateur radio operators. The training is to cover things associated with selecting and
I have read the K4RO and N6TR messages as well as several other messages aimed at looking at the philosophy of the cheating/preventing cheating issue. Like Tree, I have been really surprised at the "
Pete: I think this is the right question to build a list of persons who are consider "really GOOD contest operators". "If I wanted advice on contest operating, and I could ask anyone to talk 'one-on-
The first computer duped and printed log I ever submitted was for the 1959 ARRL SS. I was a grad student at the University of Michigan. John Wilkinson [also a grad student and whose call has escaped
Steve: Back in the "olden days" [1955] when I first started using SSB on the ham bands, the rigs were almost exclusively home brew and used the 'phasing' method to eliminate the carrier and audio fi
