K4BAI asked: Sorry for the bandwidth. I need some help, presumably from somebody with the REF Contest Committee, to get my log for last weekend's contest to be accepted by the robot. I got an error m
N6RCE added: SOAB-HIGH is the accepted Cabrillo syntax for 'SINGLE-OP ALL HIGH'. That is not in the spec. Here is the full definition of the CATEGORY field: CATEGORY: operator-category band-category
N6RCE replied to EI5DI: My apogolies... SOAB- is the option name that some contest log robots accept, and sometimes exclusively. It's not what the spec says, rather what's been observed. My choice of
I just got done massaging the list of logs received for the 2004 ARRL 10m contest into a spreadsheet, as I was curious how well I might have done (looks like another year with a box score - higher th
K6IF announced: For the last few weeks, I have been working on a project to design and build a 1500 watt solid state HF amplifier. The impetus for this project is the need, in a modern SO2R contest s
K8CC added: I've gotten around this by using only old-style glass bottle tubes in my HF contesting station. In the exact same examples given above, a pair of 3-500Zs, a 4-1000A or a 3-1000Z shows ess

Could somebody quickly please tell me how to tell an MP that it's connected to an external key, instead of an external paddle that is meant to trigger the radio's internal keyer? Ta. 73, 9M6BrettGrah
Thanks to all for their assistance. Have no idea how to work one of these things anymore since putting mine back in the box a few years back. 73, 9M6BrettGraham ______________________________________
W4PA added: Omni-VI's EMC makes it hard to use in "warm" RF environment. Absence of bypass caps on rear panel connectors is hard to understand. DSP makes birdies that vary with PBT & degrades with te
K3BU added: That's unfortunate. I liked the OMNI-VI's divided-down-from-VHF VFO, crystal LOs & approach to SWR protection (limit current). How mine was bought back & no interest in fixing it (to exte
EA5ON responded to K1TTT's review of spots in ARRL DX SSB: Sorry, but this is amateur radio today. Like asking if a frequency is in use before calling CQ. Using your full call to identify your statio
This is sad news. Was thinking of Rush the other day whilst talking to 9M6RM - the suffix made me think of Radio Monkey, which if I recall correctly Rush wasn't too fond of. Spent many weekends at Th

My copy of ITU documents does not have it, but I believe that the condition in my station license - specifically referring to Resolution 640 of WARC-79 - said something about emergencies, protection
KI5DR's post reminded me of a little goof of my own in WPX SSB. Somewhat embarrassing, but I don't feel too bad about it. TS3A was CQing with one voice & replying to callers with another - one that I
If one takes the logs-received list & removes those with invalid CATEGORY & ARRL-SECTION fields, there were only 670 out of 2565 logs received that were compliant with the Cabrillo specification for
I had posted: Correction: 751. Some of the ones I counted - ARRL-SECTION for DX stations other than "DX" - turn out to be paper logs that have been keyed in by the good folks over at Contest Branch.
Note name of contest: ARRL DX. Not ARRL W/VE or ARRL NA - ARRL DX. You work _us_. Good to see a post or two from somewhere else - was beginning to think this was really a discussion about SS or somet
