The VHF weak-signal banquet was at the Doubletree this year. If they have it there next year and I stay there, I won't have so far to walk! The Central States VHF conference is at a Doubletree in St.
The sad thing about spotting is that at this time, as far as I know, it cannot be regulated. All you can do is gather info on spots after the contest like K1TTT does and try to make some assumptions
Well, if that happened, in the first place what you sent in would NOT be your log. It would be some serious alteration provided by technology gone haywire. Yes, the op would deserve to know his compu
Hi Rex, I use Audacity to record audio onto my computer from the radio, etc. If you know exactly when you started the recording, the time index on the waveform display allows you to place any time in
OK, next time I hear you I'll spot you 20 kHz higher than your real frequency. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://l
Tradition or force of habit, I guess. Somewhere I believe there is a statement or rule that in order for a QSO to be valid, both stations must exchange callsigns and one other piece of info. For DXpe
Well, that would be a good incentive for some people to actually LEARN Morse. After their code readers make enough mistakes to lose them a considerable number of QSO's, they might learn it and find o
I like the way CT handles this. If you use the space bar to switch between fields, it skips the "59(9)" and automatically fills it. If you use the TAB key, it will include the signal report column fo
I think the WRTC teams all did an excellent job. I believe that anything regarding packet spotting was beyond their control and was not authorized or condoned by them. As far as use of the Internet,
Yes, they were four times a year. I was in the Intruder Watch back in the late 60's and that made me eligible to participate in them. I did not remember why they were phased out, though. We were look
My first DXCC credit for Angola was for a CR6 QSO back in the early 70's. I even vaguely remember the QSO! 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Con
Aren't there shampoos that take care of that problem? 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailm
A lot of people (including me) do it this way - (Him): CQ de RG8U (Me): W9SZ (Him): W9SZ 5NN 1043 (Me): RG8U 5NN 406 (Him): TU RG8U Hopefullly he copies my my pipsqueak signal well enough to hear I s
When people are only sending "QRZ?" I tend to listen for three or four QSO's at most and if they don't ID I pass them by. I see no sense in working someone whose call I don't know for sure. 73, Zack
Was there an EU contest going on at the same time? On Saturday night I heard several EU stations calling CQ Contest on 40 CW. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
The rules don't specify for the check the year you were first licensed as a WHAT. I suppose I could legally use the year I was first licensed as a Novice, as a General, as an Extra, or maybe even the
For me it does. I personally like a minimum of accoutrements when operating SS. I use a computer logging program but I send my CW with a keyer. I copy the Morse with my own ears. I do not use Super C
My thought is - how would the ARRL know? And how and when do they act? If they had one report of this happening, are they likely to DQ someone? I'd say no. What about 5? Probably still no. What about
That is pretty confusing. It seems they are saying in the one that they are only inviting people to work each other on WARC bands by sked and not by calling CQ Contest on the WARC bands. That may or
