I have used remote tuners via internet to listen to shortwave generally, particularly spy numbers stations and some other oddities. I've never used them for ham radio. Sometimes the remote tuners I w
Darn it, you should've asked me first. I have one for free! 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com
I would guess that most of the little pistols don't cheat. If so, I'd like to know why. I have no thoughts of winning anything from my home station. I do it for fun. In the ARRL DX CW contest this ye
I hope Dell has improved the Optiplex desktops. I had two GX-270's and a GX-280 and they evidently used cheap, underrated electrolytics in those models. The caps would fail and render the motherboard
HOW in the WORLD does watching the WEATHER provide you with "call sign or multiplier identification along with frequency information about a signal to the operator" ? Maybe I shouldn't watch TV over
Actually, I would think that the "Readability" number would go less than 5 if you couldn't "read" them. Maybe a "39" or a "29" for a signal report. 73, Zack W9SZ _____________________________________
I guess I just missed him last year. He stopped by the CWOPS table and left just minutes before I stopped by there. I wonder if he will be at Dayton this year? See all of you who are attending in a c
I'm not fully sure of the actual situation here, but it appears he is asking for a correction for a QSL, not a correction to the log you submitted to the contest sponsor. For QSLing, a lot of people
I like to say that you increase your score by increasing others' scores, too ... it's just a matter of who can increase the most scores. :-) 73, Zack W9SZ ____________________________________________
I have been, and am, on a couple of those on-line forums. I have always preferred the e-mail format. It's simpler and faster to use. When I'm out on the road, I occasionally have to use a landline co
It is illegal in the United States to receive money for operating activities. I don't know about other countries, but the USA would legally be excluded from this. 73, Zack W9SZ <https://www.avast.com
Yeah, but my QSO's are all on 24 GHz and above. Maximum range is about 50 miles. You'll have to put a similar monitoring system on a satellite to verify my QSO's. 73, Zack W9SZ <https://www.avast.com
Supposing there were a website that listed real-time scores of other stations - and that's all - with NO info on bands, band changes, frequencies, times or anything other than their score at the mome
I like this. My concept of "assisted" has always been receiving real-time help external to your station that actually contributes to your directly working a station. Receiving band, frequency and tim
My opinion FWIW: It depends on whether he ASKED to be spotted or not. Stations that are assisted in the contest can spot whoever they wish; they have no idea of what category the station they are spo
And how much would it cost to go, compared to Dayton? Dayton is an easy driving distance for me, only 4 hours. Sometimes I buy things it's just easier to drive back with me - it would be difficult to
I would say, let's all just give it a chance and see how it works out. At first I thought there was only one smaller building available, the one where a marker shows up when you search for "Greene Co
I think it's human nature for SOME people to cheat. I'd guess it's not more than 20%. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com h
