9A6XX added: Like somebody mentioned before using a DX cluster and claiming unassisted is nothing compared to cheating on other stuff - excessive power and so on. A few more dB just on the transmit s
WA2GO added: Forgive me if this question is ignorant - I have never set up a station to use packet so I don't know anything about how it works, but... would it be possible to somehow authenticate eve
I just put up a second-hand C-3, which I've converted to separate feeds. 10 & 20 are fine, but on 15m the driver is reasonant near 20 Mc & becomes more reasonable when the 20m driver is either shorte

K6LA asked: I'm curious as to why having to use A6/XXXX would create "extraordinary circumstances." Ever hear of a non-UAE national ever being issued a license in UAE? 73, VR2BrettGraham ____________
OH1NOA asked K3EST: Please can you add to cqww.com SSB OH records SOAB OH2BH operator OH1NOA. Now it is not shown. My another request in my previous emails (which were first made in December 2003 or
NE0P asked: Is there any sort of device that will allow you to hook up 2 radios to do dual receive on the same band? I know that is simple enough, but the big problem would be to mute the one receive

ES5TV continued from W2UP's description of what CQing on a frequency without first asking if the frequency was in use can be like for those already there: I absolutely agree with Barry that plain CQ
RAEM was fun - even worked RAEM. Only one or two stations wouldn't work me when I called - did the rules change, as in the past I think everyone ignored me. RAEM called CQ by going "WSEM RAEM". Some
VA7NT asked: My only experience is with ICOM kit, but Kenwood probably does the same thing - somewhere there's a jumper or switch that will enable full power. HNY. 73, VR2BrettGraham
Errrr... the most recent IARU results I can find on www.arrl.org/contests/results shows N4AF with W4PA at the controls as #3 W/VE CW - this was 2001. I presume Scott is referring to the 2002 results
Thanks to N7NG, among others, who pointed out at the time the 2002 IARU results were accessible from the Members Only section of the ARRL web site. I assumed (note first three letters) that results w
Interesting thread... with very good points from the likes of AD1C & the OF from Oklahoma. ;^) Someone letting loose on a frequency already in use - whether it be WN3VAW's experience trying to work s
WN3VAW reminded us after W7WHY's recollection of appointments for participation: Okay, since we're digging up memories of the good 'ol days & the statute of limitations has long run out, how many her
AA0CY asked: I find quite often it's the /3 or equivalent that can catch my ear in a pile-up. From here, knowing that you're /3 is helpful as it narrows down the choices of what I would expect you to
VK5GN asked about the pile-ups that spots of him produced in ARRL DX CW: QSY. Now that I don't have any antennas any more, I got on a little & boy, once a big M/M worked me, sure enough a huge mess w
W6LX continued: True, but such a situation may be the closest way to simulate the real-world on the bench - come to think of it, this is not too far off from an instant in time (not all carriers key
ES5TV's data-mining brings up some interesting trends after NS3T's looking at this previously... Fishy spots are unlikely to go away, often are associated with stations that aren't high scorers & IMH
