K8IA continued on from N7MAL: From VR, this thing is usually well over S9 & is fairly consistently 10 dB down on a 13m high doublet than a GP, so for my distance to the most likely BY location for su
K8CC added: Roger that, Dave! Peaks are rather broad, but knowing what is being used & where the nulls are being seen, something more accurate might be able to be figured out. It was nulls off the ba
ZL1CT contributed: I couldn't find anything about operating frequencies or anything like that. Anybody know? With apparently at least USA Gov't funding & involving ten other countries, if these thing
Anyone interested in seeing what is going on in VK, have a look at: http://www.hf.ro/intruders/ Although what we hear here so far looks like it's coming from somewhere that way, someone has had a wor
K4XU added: Something I found when Googling about on VK's new surface wave radar system in VK4 made specific mention of what Team Vertical has proven - that vertical polarization near salt water rock
N7MAL added: This, along with W5VX's report & others from W6, W7 & VE7 suggest we are hearing different things. What we hear out here starts close to the band edge & peters out around 7070, or someti
LU4HKN added: I would imagine if this thing stays into the ham bands, the W6s will notice. Good stuff - keep it up, folks! 73, VR2BrettGraham _______________________________________________ CQ-Contes
VA3DX reported: FB OM! Where did the plaque originate from? It's been so long that I think I was expecting one from 1999 & it's probably safe to assume it's unlikely to ever show up now. Wrote W6OTC
W5VX reported: Chances are it is the same. I have a recording from N7MAL & it sounds very much like what is looking to be either from VK6 or BS7-area from out here "on point". If you could make a sho
I had asked W5VX: I'm on the digest, so read N7MAL's post afterwards about putting his recording on his web site http://www.ctaz.com/~suzyq/N7mal.htm as a "background" sound. Imagine that at 10 or 30

VE3XD asked prematurely: Last received here appear to be from 2000. You got a plaque from last year's CQ-something RTTY contest? Maybe I've lost it & only dreamt of a continental top-scoring effort i

VE4XT added a very valid point: I realize this wasn't the original question for this thread, which was, essentially, about whether SO2R from a small lot is doable. Clearly it is. But another thread a
N6DE added to K6LL's post: -As Dave mentioned, be aware that you are likely going to hear RTTY stations on 40m as low as 7.040 (and potentially lower, though I certainly hope not). This is due to the
K5TR drew our attention to: The topic of how often to sign one's callsign comes up on this list every so often. IMHO this post: http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/CQ-Contest/1998-07/msg00386.
K7ACZ added: I got pinged once for a busted call when I worked a friend during a contest who was not in the contest. He heard me in the contest, answered my CQ, we chatted for a moment, I logged him
ZL1AIH added: Yaaay Brett - well said. Whatever the pros and cons of IDing every QSO or every 20 QSOs are, and whatever rules contest organisers choose to impose, compliance with the regulations set
N4ZR suggested: Maybe it is time for the Windows logging software people and the SO2R hardware people to get together and agree on a standard way of performing "traditional" SO2R LPT port functions v
