Does anybody on this reflector know how I can get in touch with Joe Subich of MicroHam USA? I have been emailing to the support address for a while now and have not received any response. Also tried
Wow- IMHO most of the guys that are at the top in all the big contests don't need any more money (how else could one afford hundreds of thousands on antenna farms?), and they're the same ones that wi
I have subscribed to the "boy and his radio" idea since I started ham radio in 1975, and have never been much of a fan of packet. I have always likened it to spoon feeding. However, I have a question
Mike and Jim, I see your points. However, being the good operators that you are, I can't imagine short-lived packet pileups preventing you from working those mults. When I come across a pileup like t
Has anyone successfully run 2 stations on same band, SSB &CW, without interference between the two? For example, FD or IARU. We have tried it several times and have always ended up with moderate to s
Possibly he has two old radios with only 1 VFO each that he wants to RX with? If that was the case, could he not simply remove the antenna from the other radio with a switch whenever one of the radio

Darrell: I just ran an old one I had in EZnec. The 2:1 SWR bandwidth is about 280 Khz. I remember an old article by L B Cebik that described a way you can broadband an 80 meter antenna simply by usin
MarkI have noticed the same thing on my K-3. Like you I have fiddled with the AGC adjustments but without much improvement. I have always understood that the purpose of the AGC circuitry is to preven
BobWhat you have stated about behavior in pileups can be neither disputed nor refuted. You have hit a nail directly on the head. Sadly it seems to be more and more common these days, and it is not co
Well said, Jeff. I think it's a safe bet that the majority of the serious contesting community would agree. Tom K0SN _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest

Yes I should have added that when this heavy membrane stuff is employed, the quality of the installation is critical. We have consulted with sound engineers on it and they always recommend taping, ca
PeteI have found the shift control on my K3 to be quite useful when running. Many times when a station tries to set up shop and cq right next to me I have been able to salvage the rate with a quick s
N1MM knows that you are running or S&Ping because you must tell it what you are doing before you start. And if you forget, for example if youre running, then start s&ping without telling , N1MM knows
I just became a big fan of the SCQP. Double points for out of state qs plus county mults for in state is an excellent idea. I regularly do the Wisconsin QP from out of state, one that awards county m

That sounds reasonable on paper. But in the real world it seems more complicated than that. Local noise can really throw things out of whack. When I operate from my city qth, Im hamstrung with a cons
JoeLike others have stated, hawking a product as you are doing here leads one to suspect that there is a profit motive behind it. Sorry, but that's just the result of many past experiences. I don't m
MartinI have often wondered the same thing. Here are my guesses as to what they are thinking1. They assume that most ops, especially the casual ones, are using some sort of call history program to au
