Being relatively new to the SO2R world (a bit over a year now) and only owning one controller (YCCC SO2R+) which I understand might no longer be produced I thought I would ask the multitude what else
When I was much younger, (in the 1970's) I used to wait for the mailman to see my QSL cards come in and save my paper-route $$ to buy stamps so I could send return cards back out. Now from Canada, it
Jim, (at your superstation?) Interesting discussion. I never knew the exact history of this "preferred Extra Class call signs" history exactly, as it occurred just before I was licensed. On the CWops
YAY ! ! ! ! I actual read this a few weeks ago on the Sprint page and you cannot imagine how happy I was Tree. I did not say a word to anyone for fear it was just a bad cut and paste job and MAR was
Jim, That's an unfair comment and you know it. Not all CW or CW/SSB or SSB contesters are RTTY contesters too. I would wager w/o ever looking at any stats, that there are less RTTY contesters than CW
Bob, I registered a team around noon local (16z give or take) and I got an immediate email confirmation. The web page also confirmed the team was registered iirc. If you got at least that, it's proba
I will be in the Orlando,Florida area just after ARRL DX SSB, but could rearrange my plans and arrive sooner if there were any seats available at a contest station in the area. Not having ever travel
I will be in the Phoenix, Az area just after the Russian DX contest, but could arrive sooner if there was an empty chair available in the area. Can do SSB or CW equally well. I don't know Phoenix fro
Thanks to all TCG members for sponsoring the wonderful (and very unique, barn board) wooden plaque received in yesterdays mail for a category win in the 2016 Tenn QP. I love it ! dit dit Mike VE9AA "
Please define "Autospot".ie: is this a term used in some contest logging program or a translation from Italian to English? My question is serious. I've never heard tell of this exact term and want to
That's what I'd like to know as well Chuck. I have read both these emails (twice!) and I still don't know what H2X is accused of. Mike VE9AA Pardon my ignorance, but what is "autospot?" Chuck W5PR Mi
Hey Scott, Don't feel bad. I have played in many (mostly USA) QSO parties and have, at times, had stations in the USA (and VE) call *ME* when I was calling CQ (insert State abbr here) over and over.
Nevermind the exchange, (hi) Get the callsign correct first , too ! Not master databases or prefills, but bad spots by humans (?) *might* explain why, when operating in Newfoundland as VO1TTT I had s
I don't know Ash or enough about him to formulate an honest opinion. So I won't guess. I do have to wonder though (outside this discussion) whether I am at risk, or my fellow MCCers are putting ME at
N1EN says".Keep in mind EA8's aren't banned from RBN.." EA8RM says (in part)". The EA8s are banned from the system I don't know why, but it is very easy to check.." Juan, I am not sure where you got
I have misunderstood this thread from the beginning. Maybe I still do. Am I naïve, or perhaps I am just cynical? (or I am that guy that will mention the white elephant in the room) Why should anyone
I don't know CX2DK or the others from the CC or W4PA very well, but it all seems pretty clear cut. He was asked for a recording on 2015 - nothing. He placed #1 for 10m in SA in 2016 for both CQWW's;
Trent, I don't own any of those radios, but most any radio I have ever had has a "monitor" function to give you 'feedback in the headphones as to what's happening on the air" If these 3 rigs don't, t
Loved your post Hans. As I posted a week or so ago, this is totally a non-issue. Anyone can do this for much than $100 (maybe <$50) (or possibly even free) Break the headphone line, tee it off (or Y-
A couple of the locals (and many of you, I am sure) found that we are not in the logs of a couple big-ish M/S's and M-2 Caribbean stations logs for the latest CQWW SSB 2016 Both of us are very very c
