Hi Guy Well, I think the biggest thing will to just forget trying to work much DX on Friday night. There are so many other stations calling, you will just be a noise in the far background (know this
Randy I think if you are going to do this, this is really neat, but next time, just wait till about 5 minutes before the contest starts and then put it on the reflector so it won't get nit-picked to
And don't forget Tom and the gang at N1MM Logger. They work day and night to keep this program current. Great software and getting better all the time!! 73 Tom W7WHY ________________________________
Hi Rick I remember some ham phoenetics that used to work pretty good. They started out with: Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy, Fox, George, Henry, Ida, etc etc. Remember those? They were HAM phoeneti
Why?? I think I heard this when SSB started taking over from A.M. "SSB is going to kill ham radio." I'll bet when CW took over, the spark op's said the same thing :-) 73 Tom w7WHY ___________________
I like to make it a point to say "thanks for the mult" when calling a U.S. station when moving to a new band. At least it lets them know why I called them. 73 Tom W7WHY No. It's a DX contest, not NAQ

Boy, looks like this is going to be a fun weekend. TARA RTTY contest is on and the CQWW 160 test is on. I will be able to run RTTY contest on 1 radio and the CQWW 160 on the other radio. Doesn't get
. I have been following this thread with interest. What is the difference if 10 Europeans are calling CQ in the window and 100 U.S. stations are calling them, or there are 10 U.S. stations calling CQ
Sometimes when CQ'ing gets slow, I like to go to a different band and start at the bottom and tune up. when I find a good mult, I can type it into the logger window, and with the self spot feature he
OK, here is another reason to work dupes. I was playing around on 160 Friday night and thought I'd make a few contacts in the RAC. I started at the bottom of the band and worked my way up. When I got
You're right on there Bill. I've been using 2 of them for a LONG time Thought I'd pass along something I found with my RS-20 that quit on me. It would start up OK, but as soon as I would hit the tra

That works. If you want to try a fun experiment, take your paddle, turn it with the paddles away from you and send with your left hand. Works just as easy as right hand sending. 73 Tom W7WHY ________

Hi Mal I, for one, am pretty confused on how the window is supposed to work during a contest. Does the DX work split, or do some U.S. stations just sit in the window and the DX rotates in and out of
Hi Ted I agree with Mike. I have 2 of the RASCAL interfaces--one for FSK on a Kenwood TS-450 and one for AFSK on a Yaesu FT-840. They work great and the price is right. 73 Tom W7WHY _________________
