Those of you doing SO2R with TWO Keyboards. Are you typing on the left keyboard only with one hand (the left, obviously) and on the right keyboard with only one hand (the right) or are you swiveling
Chris, Temps in F or C? What about negative temps? Mike, VE9AA..working with Celsius since the late 70's and it'll def be in the negative temps in Feb here and elsewhere in the world. Mike, Coreen &
Hey Bob/FCN How many plaques were available to Canadians vs. Americans in ARRL-DX? (don't answer, it's rhetorical) If you can't win 40m LP, I see a few other LP categories you can enter. SOABLP, SOAB
Rick, While I certainly do admire your enthusiasm and creativity, seeing no replies (online, not email) to your question I felt I would comment from the "average guy" perspective. This is a very cool
Times change. I am in a sparsely populated area for VHF/UHF ops. Even back 20-30 yrs ago there weren?t very many of us around here in Atlantic Canada but there were a few. Now most of the old timers
I also recently replaced my earpads on my headset. In my case it was on a Yamaha CM-500. I got them from Amazon.ca and they're called "Brainwavz velour earpads" for $35.99 shipped (in Canada) I love
Hi Fellas, I have tried, quite literally, 20 times throughout the day today (and even different browsers) to contact the RBN guys through the contact link http://beta.reversebeacon.net/contact and e
Ridiculous ! What's next? Folks that send out plain-jane monochrome cheap cardstock QSLs every couple months won't get a QSO vs, someone that's got a beautiful multicoloured photo QSL card with a nic
I swear, Randy was reading my mind. It's almost exactly what I wrote in my 3830 report last night. Is there a software package out there that this is the default S&P macro for RTTY? Pretty sure it's
Mike/va3mw, its not the EXCHANGE Randy and I are commenting onits when the runner is CQing and being called. ie: me: WPX VE9AA VE9AA CQ you: VE9AA de VA3MW VA3MW Why would anyone do that? Send your c
Not really a RTTY contester, but when I do play, I am constantly bothered by my rx filtering setup. I currently run a pair of IC7410's in LSB (AFSK) mode. On RTTY I am currently SO1R, but I know how
A few months ago I *thought* I had invented a way to tell your 100% zero-beat pileup to spread out in a non-split, ie:normal contest situation. I did some general searches for "QZB" yesterday and was
Please, nobody should be posting links to their contest audio recordings before log deadline has passed. I have seen this more and more these days as technology marches forward. I like listening to t
Great work Ward, Tree, Jim and Sprint team ! Really enjoyed the writeup and other stats. Two thumbs up for the earlier start time in Feb. (shame about the AU) Keep up the FB work. Mike VE9AA "NB" Kes
Hey Randy, The new map looks very cool, HOWEVER there is a little issue. No activity is reported on your map for either SSB or CW in 2020 for VE9's (which is not actually true) New Brunswickers (typi
2 thumbs up for the UNASSISTED Challenge. Lots and lots of support for this challenge reading the 3830scores.com comments. To have this category simply removed with no prior debate or consultation st
If I am running EU on 7080kHz SSB or 14.114MHz SSB , it is not my concern if USA stations call me. I'll work'm. That's on THEM and the FCC. (and contest adjudicators doing log checking - perhaps?) I
Great. Invite me to be on the CQ WPX or CQWW contest committee Dimitri. I'll put in my time and do my work, no problem. I highly doubt I would ever make a *MAJOR* decision that would affect about 1
I own a pair of IC-7410's which I run here QRP, LP or HP (a la SO2R) (no filters or stubs) in an aprox 2 acre sized contesting environment. No issues. I briefly owned (past tense) an IC-7300. Find my
You may have noticed fellas(and ladies)...none of us are getting any younger and in fact, the median age of contesters is surely rising every year. We're gonna soon "age out" if we don't act. If we d
