Hi Chuck Yep, it sure is. But if you operate a contest, you need to stay within the rules. They should just make an "unlimited" class where absolutely anything goes--3 kw, self spotting, internet sk
Oh yeah, I'll bet you post the rules Doug. Probably about 10 minutes after the contest so you will be the only one who did it right, and win again. I see through your little canard. 73 Tom W7WHY ___
Well, I should do alright in this contest. Both of my radios are broke, but found another way to make contacts. Shouldn't let you all in on my secret, but... There's a website called QTH.COM, and you

Howdy All I built some stubs here and they seem to work pretty well on radio 1. I want to put up some more antenna for radio 2. If one of the antennas I use is a G5RV (I know), will I be able to use
Hi Zack Didn't you see the postings about the "wireless electrical cord." 73 Tom W7WHY (with my new secret weapon winning score) _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing li
Yeah, would be great for practice. If it wasn't for Morse Runner on weekends without contests, (like this one), I'd be having withdrawals. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________
Why not go to www.n1mm.com and download n1mm logger. It has the module with correct scoring for the 7QP. No kluge's or hassles. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
Now rather than Yeah, but what are you going to take into the "reading room" with you? Kinda crowded in there with a computer :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Conte
Hi All Used to have a FL-2100B here, and now use a SB-200-both with a pair of 572-B's. I've found that putting a couple of muffin fans on top of the amp sure helps to keep things cool. Did a CW conte
I think the reason most people put another "test" (or CQ or whatever) on eht end is so that when someone tunes across your signal they know you are calling CQ. I hate to hear "de W2ABC", then have to
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I think there is a lot of difference between S9 noise and very few signals, and 3 signals crammed into a 600 cycle portion of the spectrum I don't see w
Hi Bob If the DSP was in the IF, it would be a lot better than the outboard units. They are usually installed between the radio and speaker, or headphones. While they work OK, you get a lot of proble
I was looking at the rules for the IARU this weekend, and was wondering about this: "6.1. The same station may be worked 'once per mode per band' for QSO credit. " "6.1.1. Mixed-mode entries may work
Well, Rick, you opened a can of worms on this one. I could just hear it now, "Yeah, but he had a 2 GHZ computer and mine is only 500 MHZ!" 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________
And don't forget that machine gun exchange from KH6IJ. That was one guy who was all business. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contestin
Hi John Yeah, dupe sheets were a pain, but at least then, all we had were W's and K's to dupe. Things got pretty bad after that :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Con
Hi Jack I know it's a horrible thing to think about, but what is to stop someone from just putting in a bunch of callsigns in their log to make it look like they worked a bunch of uniques. I know no
Hi All I've never done this contest before, and in looking at the rules I was a little confused about something. Is this a "everybody work everybody" contest or do we just work IOTA stations? Thanks
Thank you gents (and gentettes) for the info. Look for you all this weekend. Looking forward to my first IOTA. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-
