I just reviewed my UBN from CQWW CW and noted that I had 2 NILs from stateside stations. This has happened before and I know it happens to many of us regularly. We wind up losing a country and/or zon
When I started SO2R, I thought the same thing. As with most things, you improve with practice. Working the second radio at 100Q/hr is not hard for an experienced SO2R op. 73, Barry _________________
It wasn't enough that lightning trashed my station last month. Yesterday, my desktop PC died. Rather than replacing it, I'm thinking of putting my laptop into service as the shack computer. Naturally

Hi all, I'm setting up a new computer that has no native serial ports. I bought a USB to 4 port serial port adapter which uses the Prolific chipset. It's not working properly. In DX4WIN, frequency co
I use a rotatable loop for directions where I don't have a Beverage. My web page with construction details, etc. has been up for several years, but I changed ISPs a few months ago, so there may be so

Rich, $4 for 5 ? Either you did your math backwards, or you're exchange rate and fees are a LOT worse than the bank's :.) My advice to Carol is use it as a donation to the next DXped you QSL, instead
If any of the EUs recall my signal over the weekend in WAE (or better yet, recorded it), I would appreciate a signal report compared with other east coast signals. Have some new antennas up. BTW, som

In 1986, when I lived in NH about 10 miles from AK1A, there was the PCBS (Packet Conference Bulletin System.) One stand-alone "node," 8-10 users, and that was it. Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP New
It has, Alessio. Here's why: My daughter started college a few months ago. For several months prior to going, she managed to contact a number of other kids going to the same school, via IM and Facebo

I switch back and forth between a Begali Graciella and a N3ZN ZN-5A. Both are excellent. IMO, the N3ZN paddles are the best bang for the buck. I also own a gold Bencher that has sentimental value, as
We all have our favorite paddles, iambic or not. Bottom line, if you're skilled, it doesn't matter what you use, especially if you're only using them at contest speeds (40 WPM tops.) For example, her
Sounds like sticky brake syndrome. Did you try turning it the other way first? If not, hold down the brake and tap the CW button for about 1 sec. Then, while keeping the brake release pressed, try tu
