NE6I added: I now regret all this, but when I'm fobbed off by W6s who I call & keep calling when they ignore me, I'm sorry, but what I'm used to doesn't factor in. Even a partial call was met with go
W6FB asked N4GI: It is impossible to interface any radio into an existing station using existing equipment that is based on asserting some form of PTT if that radio has no PTT, full stop. The typical
AA4LR added: Impossible I believe is a reasonable assessment if a K2 is to be used in a station where CW PTT is used - I certainly could not have used a stock K2 for one of the 2-rig bands at W7RM. T
W4PA responded to VR2BG: And likewise I don't know diddly because I've always used CW PTT. Do you think that perhaps we can accept that some use it & some don't, just like some think there is no God
N2IC asked: Right now (2315z) there is a hole around there & 3745 kc is fairly clear, but this morning the Hainan woodpecker is laying waste to pretty much all of 75 & 80m... with crud in the holes t
First UA9S/T & maybe W & now perhaps X? Although K3EST has clarified things, the UA9S/Ts send what they like & the participants now know that it really doesn't matter what we log when we work that lo
EI5DI replied to VR2BG talking to himself: Not quite - we only know about UA9S/T. I'm not quite sure where the CQ-WW-doesn't-check-any-of-the-exchange comes from... kinda like what is ultimately behi
As long as R1 fills 7040-7100 kc to the extent that R1 stations have problems hearing each other, then maybe in R3 we might not need to go below 7040 to answer an R1 station & actually be heard, or s
W9AC suggested: That means 20 kc of useable phone band in for many. No thank you. 73, VR2BrettGraham _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com
W4ZV added: Potential change to USA bandplan is serious concern to rest of the world. With R1, the bandplan is such a big deal that I have even had R1 stations operating in R3 run around & jam me bec
Anyone know if this was censorship, or due to something else? _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/lis
W9AC continued: SSB below 7010 kc is a daily thing nowadays - doesn't need to be CQ WW weekend & has been this way for a long time now. Although obviously rather extreme during CQ WW, it's interestin

Zuru Charrie Foul Rima Itary pointed out: So Steve, how strong is Pluto II with you? Choice of phonetics really doesn't matter out here when one is being clobbered by the Akrotiri Woodpecker, mate...
Not to pour petrol on the fire, but if R1 7040 kc boundary is, with a few exceptions, simply a bandplan & not a regulatory requirement, then why is it that gentlemanly EU dominate the band as seen fr
LA5HE added (with some editing on my part to make his comments easier to see): I'm inclined to suggest that 40m like the other weekend confirms that the number of amateurs is growing in EU. With that
N5IET was almost on to something with: Funny how "packet" & "Telnet" now seem mean something they do not. These are two ways to receive "assistance" through use of "spotting networks" of some sort. 7
Unless a /MM declares an emergency, amateurs working the /MM & the mere presence of most /MMs on the upper end of 20m is in blatant violation of local laws & international agreements - at least based
K7QQ responded to K0HB's suggestion that /MM nets started out as way to provide phone patches to US military personal outside USA: I was thinking of the same thing... Also something about 3rd party a
This R1 bandplan thing reminds me of SSTVers. Now we have suggestion of taking this thing to whole new level from W2UP. So end result is whole band stitched up - R1 below & R2 above, with nowhere for
