<<Really Win-Test should solve this issue - good old CT had a function where you could assign a different DXCC country from the QSO entry line (you just type callsign=dxcc/enter).>> Wintest used to b
In the recent SS-CW, I noticed that I was getting RF into my PTT line that I use for keying. ( the rig locked up on some bands when I was QRO) I suppose that I need to get the cable wrapped around so
Thank you to all who responded. Just to clarify...I have no RFI problems running 1kw on ssb. On cw, I have no rfi problems on 160,80,40m,20 or 10m as long as I use the monobanders. The problem manife
This appears to be a problem only with a LPT keyer system on one band with one antenna. It probably relates to a combination of RF levels on one band and antenna, and especially the poor design of si
Assuming neither antenna is built or installed wrong, maximum possible gain of full wave loop over a dipole is just over 1dB. The effective height of a loop is centered between the heights of the cu
Because the operator is too dumb to realize he is hurting other people who do not use packet, this sounds like a case where the contest rules committee should make a simple change. Of course if someo
Charly, the only thing that Skimmer replaces is the physical act of tuning the radio. For me, the objectionable part of skimmer is the removal or lessening of operator skill. I equate it to using a c
Tom, I think maybe you misunderstood where I'm coming from. Unlike Joe, W4TV, I believe that using Skimmer is just like using a cluster, only more powerful. I have never argued for Skimmer use *not*
Please consider that you may not be able to hear station B sending his exchange to station A (the "frequency onwner"), because of cndx. Depending on the contest exchange and code speed that may take
I don't live in an area which has a propagation advantage in Sweeps and I have NO desire for there to be changes to it. This area (Georgia) isn't bad at all for propagation. Location is not as good h
I just checked my RBN spots and noticed the same thing. I only tried running once with not takers, all the rest was S&P but was spotted when calling other stations. From that and other comments, it s
I have just created a simple tool to create virtual logs and play with busted calls. Based on CQ WW CW 2012 public logs. Enter any call and see how many people have it in their logs. http://rate.pile
