Martin: I enjoyed your LCF discussion. As one of the creators of the Sprints, I was pleased that you noted that one of our objectives as we designed the contest was indeed working. The QSO/QSY rule r
Can anyone point me to someplace on the internet that lists the specific capacitor values for the Dunestar 600 filters? I recently acquired a set that had been "improved" by using the tuner internal
If this thread were a 'mute' point we would not see it. I don't know when and where the thread started, but I am sure that the originator meant to write "moot" and not "mute" and somehow their spell

Eric, My questions are intended to prepare me for a serious look into acquiring an SDR as a radio I might use for contest operating. This may be the third time that I have investigated the subject du
IMHO, it's all about software, especially the immaturity of the software. Jack: That is a good analysis. It brought to mind an event that happened when I was editor of NCJ back in 1972-75. At that ti
