I've done the same thing, with Morse ring tones in my cell phone. I used Morsegen by G4ILO to generate the tones (http://www.g4ilo.com/morsegen.html ) It generates a much better sounding tone than Mo
You can order stamps to be delivered to you via mail and I believe online, too (no charge for delivery.) Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Newtown, PA _______________________________________________ C
I was driving down the road yesterday and couldn't believe what was on a PA license license plate I saw: http://mysite.verizon.net/w2up3/skimmer_pic.jpg I apologize for the image quality, but it was
Yes, congrats, Doug. My downfall was probably my undecipherable handwriting. Personally, I would prefer to use a keyboard, as I do in on-the-air contests. Perhaps the KCDXC will consider that option
I don't mind the walking. It's good exercise. You, Doug, look like you're in decent shape, but the majority of "rotundos" certainly could use the walk :.) However, it would be easier if they repaired
Run some power. Oops... My suggestion - follow the other guy's lead. Do what he wants you to do. I can't tell you how many times I've asked for NR only and get 5NN<QRN> back, and it's amazing how the
That's what filters are for. I may miss something from time to time, but I only see the spots from zones 4 and 5. Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Newtown, PA ________________________________________
One that really bothers me is a NIL from an N7 I worked for a zone mult. IMO, any W/VE that shows a pattern of not logging zero pointers should be disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct. Barry W2UP
I think this award is a great idea (even though I have no desire to chase it.) The cost of QSLing has just gotten out of hand. Will the award be electronic, as well? :-) Barry, W2UP _________________
I'm not a Life Member (but have paid a lot more than 20 years of dues) and have said the same thing. I'd much rather get NCJ than QST as my membership journal. On average, it takes me 5 minutes to re
While I am for open logs, there are some things that can be learned from competitors' logs. For many years, K3WW and I have swapped rate sheets and/or logs. Over the years, I improved enough to beat
In the past, myself and Ilya, KE7OPG, participated in the IARU HST (High Speed Telegraphy) competition. Some of you may remember my presentation at the Dayton Contest Forum a few years ago and articl
I had some time to think about it this weekend, as my amp died shortly after starting WAE. When I started the contest, I thought to myself, "I can't believe this is really 36 WPM, the rate's so slow
My single tower SO2R station (disassembled last year) used a set of NQN filters and stubs. I also used an ICE 419 in the Beverage line for low bands. With that setup, I was successful with any band c
Not sure if holidays make a difference. Is there more US activity in CQWW CW when it doesn't (or does) fall on Thanksgiving? Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Newtown, PA _____________________________
The nice thing about 3830 is it's great to see scores and comments while the contest is fresh in everyone's mind. By the time results are published, it's just a list of numbers that blends in with al
And for the record, I do NOT want to see you in your cheerleader's outfit :.) 73, Barry, W2UP _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://
From the rules: 4.2. DX stations send signal report and power (number indicating approximate transmitter output power). Technically, K and KW should not be good either, as it says NUMBER. However, I'
In all seriousness, the best thing to help you stay in the chair is the chair. My preference - the Aeron by Herman Miller. Your butt, and contest club, will thank you. Barry W2UP ____________________
Dave, CQing for 8 hours on a dead band isn't contesting. It's unnecessary pain. Do you operate the 10m contest from midnight to 6 AM? The guys at W2GD can entertain themselves in Atlantic City during
