That might be kind of tricky. What if an banned operator gets on and works a contest and makes 3 - 4000 Q.s just for spite even though they are banned. I doubt if someone is running a 100 Q's an hour
I have an Optiplex 755 that I got from a guy on eBay for $115. The guys user name is 'computerbase'. Not affiliated, just a happy customer. It's a dual core, 2.8mhz with 2 gig ram and W7. Use if for

Maybe a way to settle the scoring, handicap, etc, would be to let some west coast stations make up the rules. I'm sure that some of the big stations would like to be able to decide how the contest sh
How many times has CQWW been won from NM? How many times has CQWW been won from New England? 73 Tom W7WHY If we are done with those great efforts that were fliers to the normal data, I think we can d
Well - even if I paid the $20, the chance of me winning the contest AND a radio would be less than the chance I have to hit the Powerball Jackpot. If it was just a raffle, not connected to any contes
It seems more and more op's are doing SO2R, which is good, but some of them are not doing it very well. I noticed more than once during the CWO that someone would call CQ, I'd answer them and then ab
Hi John I have found that if you find someone that you are familiar with, that helps if you explain it's a mult for you. Last year I worked a zone 3 station for a double mult on 20 and they didn't lo
Hi Ken I have used that here and it work OK. I assume you are going to separate the wires out and not just lay all 12 on the ground at once. I separated the wires out on a roll that I had to make the
How about getting set up for SO3M - Single Op 3 Mults? Just set your station up with 3 radios and do a remote to 3 different sections at the same time. Maybe the 'Unlimited' category would support th
Jim is right on on this. Try doing this from the PNW. It is hard to get excited about a contest that gives us about 4 or 5 mults that we can work consistently on 80 and 160. We have VE, XE, KL7, KH6,
Too bad the contest log authors couldn't make it so that once the log has been set up and contacts made, the class can't be changed. Make the default 'checklog' (now is it SOA in N1MM), and if a clas
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck........ Tom W7WHY Jeff & all, can somebody help me, please? Seems I just don't get it ... How do you know how they operated? Have you been there? Did yo
What strikes me as funny as we have guys with calls like this and then they use cut numbers :-) 73 Tom W7WHY Yep - and I wondered just how many of those guys, along with OM2015TITANIC and xx90IARU st
As for CW being the most popular mode, I know for me it is a result of my hearing loss I wear hearing aids and it is so much easier to copy CW than SSB with all the accents, etc. 73 Tom W7WHY There i
Inrad makes filters for the IC-701. I have an INRAD 250 cycle filter in my Kenwood and really like it. Check http://qth.com/inrad/ 73 Tomm W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Con
Hi Barry Wouldn't real-time posting be an invitation to spam, etc? I know it doesn't happen on 3830 but that is not a reflector where conversations go on. like on this one. Mostly just score reportin
