It certainly does. It is foolish for the station running to not ID at least a few times a minute, but I don't expect that will ever change. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
This certainly illustrates a major problem with public and private lynchings...... It is possible to actually interleave CW, so momentary word pauses allow a window for other transmitters. The multip
Thanks for mentioning this. Every contest should be a learning experience for every operator. The law in the USA is we ID at least once in every communication at the end. Legally, we are always bound
I wonder what other's think about that method. I think just tuning off frequency by pushing a button to avoid a pileup center is poor operating practice, because it can jam someone already using a f
Oh, OK. I understand now. I was assuming a 1-2 kHz blind RIT move, not a 100-200 Hz move. :-) Thanks, Tom _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contestin
Not during the more active contests over here. During the more active contests, there are often stations every few hundred Hz. Also, I am not sure most people tune dead zero beat anyway. Certainly m
<<<< Bob probably meant to get across the concept that one should not listen up 5 as expeditions do so. If the pileup is really getting out of hand, then up 1 should be enough as long as those callin
What is the difference in spectrum used if the pile is 500 Hz up, or 5000 Hz up? The spectrum used is dependent on the bandwidth of the signals and the spread around a second frequency, not how far
Clearly 4 and 5, on CW or other narrow modes, use exactly the same space on the band. He could be using up1, 2, 3, 4, or any number and the spectrum use is identical. 6 is obviously a problem consum
This and other similar comments suggest we're debating the wrong issue. Is split operation the problem? Or is the problem the continuous callers -- those who continue to call the DX even when he's co
I need a 4:1 CURRENT BALUN (NOT VOLTAGE BALUN) to avoid that antenna current can flow on the feeder... A current balun functions perfectly as an un un, provided it is a real current balun. Some balun

Suppressed carrier (dial frequency) should be at least 3kHz away from the SSB band edge. On 20m USB that would be 14.347>> The highest frequency in an ideal transmitter is the highest audio tone pass
Just some comments. Regarding the LSB (and LSB was specifically mentioned) limit, if some signal gets out below the phone band limit, it is still in a ham band and does not interfere with other servi
- If my station is operating on USB, with a typical 3 dB transmit bandwidth of 2.7 kHz, then virtually all of the power of my fundamental emission is above my suppressed carrier frequency, and extend
Go back and reread what I said. Especially the part "at least 2.7 kHz above my suppressed carrier frequency". Your explanation completely validates what I said. You also conveniently edited-out my la
By the way, I have next to zero faith in the majority of eHam.net reviews. Below average products often get rated a 5 and rarely is there any kind of objective comparison to anything ... specs or oth
