My favorite earbuds that I use with my K3 sounded terrible (and I had to turn the volume way up) with the FT1000D I was using at K0RF over the weekend. Any recommendations for something that tolerate
Good to hear some sunspots are on the way. What a difference on 10m today compared to last weekend. Barry W2UP I'll be your QSO in the ARRL 10 meter contest next weekend if you need it. Maybe you wil
On Saturday afternoon, during the 10m contest, I was surprised to be called by a very loud YO4. Condx were such that the band was not open to central/eastern EU here in Colorado at that time. Given t
For the same reason that in a serial number contest, you hear the repeat of 5NN just fine, and the fade/QRM reoccurs when the number is sent. New rule proposal - double points for those COPYING the e

Or a zero pointer, the first time. There's a reason he called you - either he needs the zone/country mult or he's clueless. In either case, log it. Barry W2UP Randy, K5ZD --Original Message-- From: C
Given the constraint of simple antennas, no big towers, I'd go with the hilltop (and carefully model with HFTA - too high an effective height is bad, too). Barry W2UP Sure, 600' doesn't sound like a
Randy, If you're buying a motor replacement from someone other than Carl, be aware that there are MANY versions of the ring and motor. Out of all the TICrings I've seen, it's rare to have seen two ex
It doesn't say real location either. Should I pick a rare state? Barry W2UP 73, Zack W9SZ Another reason why I don't think this practice is correct is in the rules for the contest: 10. *Exchange*: Op
Bob, I agree with you. I'll be on either 15 or 20 SB/LP, depending on condx the next few days, and although I certainly won't be competitive from the western US, it's nice to be able to compare apple

Randy, You answered that question like a politician :-) Are you saying that the unusually large number of checklogs were submitted as checklogs, or did they result in checklogs from some kind of "ple
I think Steve makes some very good points. Barry W2UP You seem to have misunderstood several key points in my posting. To summarize: - Anyone can send in a checklog, for any reason. - The score of a

A theory here... Dim's CQWW CW 2013 was quite amazing as well, almost winning, but coming in second, barely behind P40F (op R5GA) and ahead of CR3E (op CT1BOH). TO7A's 2013 score is an amazing accomp
