Hi Barry Well, I think I may have screwed up today. I was in the CQ 160 contest and was watching K1LZ's live camera and saw that he was on 160. Now I will probably have to disqualify myself from the
Hi Mario Only thing I wonder, how the heck are people working stations if they are chatting on the internet? Seems to me it would be better to work stations with the radio than hang around a chat roo
Well, I'm confused. I went to this website: http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/dxccapp.pdf It just says to "mark the QSO's on the cards for which you wish credit." I don't see anywhere on the applicatio
If he sends his log in by Cabrillo and it says '2K' and you put something else in there, you are not putting in what he sent. Seems as though your log would get busted for not copying the exchange ri
Hi Hector Whenever I got 'KW' or 'K', 'AK'. or whatever other variation, I simply type 'K' in the logger. Works for me :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mail
Or if I were running HP I could sign /QRP if I wanted to. Adding QRP doesn't help anything--anyone can do it. 73 Tom W7WHY I think signing /QRP is rather silly and counterproductive in general during
So what's the consensus? Remote stations can't participate in contesting? If that's the ultimate decision, I need to start selling my equipment, now, while it still has some value. 73 de Bob - KØRC i
Yes, and another good option would be to see the scores in a ascending or descending list so I wouldn't have to scroll down to the bottom to see my score all the time :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________
Hi Hans Usually agree with you, but not this time. I do a lot of RTTY contesting here and every contest lately there are more and more new calls coming into RTTY contesting. Lotsa 2x3 callsigns now i
Hi Alan Don't think anyone would even pay attention. Just TU QRZ after you give them a 579 report. I have to admit that I have gotten a 'true' report before and never changed it in my log, just left
Howdy all In reading a lot of the 3830 posts, I see a lot of "Thanks to Joe for the use of his callsign." What is the proper way to get someone else's callsign to use? I was thinking maybe of using X
Amen to that. In the contest computer here (a Dell Dimension 2400), I bought a 4-port serial card from a 'Mom and Pop' computer store, installed it, and never looked back. Gave my 5 comports on the c
I just got these numbers from the NOAA website. Does it mean that we went from 0 sunspots to 12 in 2 days? If so, WOW! 73 Tom W7WHY "NOAA (American) Sunspot Number This number is reported daily aroun
Hi All Wow, thanks for all the info on the sunspots. I appreciate being updated on how they are counted. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contes
That brings up an interesting point. Supposed I take an hour break and let Skimmer run. Then when I come back, the bandmap is loaded, just like if I was sitting at my rig copying stations during my t
Unless, of course, the guy using Skimmer can only copy 10 WPM and the Skimmer is showing stations sending 35 WPM that there is no way he could ever copy by ear. That is definately assistance. 73 Tom
That is the sad part of it Dave. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest
Looks like if we want to work JA's on RTTY on 80 it will have to be down 3520 to 3525. That should really change things in the RTTY contests. 73 Tom W7WHY ____________________________________________
Hi Tom I wouldn't think so as my waterfalls on the computers here don't show any callsigns, just that there is a station there. I acutally have to tune my radio to where the station is and copy the i
