On the other hand, in the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong is not allowed to try to knock his competitors off their bikes; in the Olympic Marathon, runners are not allowed to trip the next athlete. In
We tried. Actually here I worked more TN (20) than MN (17) but that was a pretty close race. They certainly were *everywhere* for awhile, wish one would have made the run across the border to ND<grin
I didn't strike the QSO with the guy who spotted me in the wrong state in the 10-Meter Contest... In both cases (mine and W0MU's) the other guy didn't give you any reason to believe he didn't get you
To be blunt but honest, anyone who employs this technique should be disqualified. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com ___________________________________________
What do they say about two wrongs? Reaction I've received since my post has made it clear that "blind" CQing is NOT standard operating procedure at contest stations. Eric, I know you're not the only
I wonder if that depends on where in the country you are? - packet isn't that much of an influence here in the middle of the country but SO2R definitely is. But really that's an afterthought as far a
I'm taking requests for TCG NAQP SSB teams. As they say during the 10-Meter Contest, "Anyone, Anywhere!" If you're interested... drop me a line with: - Your call - The call you'll use during the cont
We've got three teams worth now: Call Name State Hours K4WX Don TN FT KE4OAR Chuck TN PT K4BEV Don TN FT AF4QB Becky TN PT W4JPG Jeff TN PT W4TDB Tom TN PT W9WI Doug TN PT KG4ABM Evan TN PT N5NW Doc
I don't work on quite that scale but maybe this information could be useful... My scheme is similar to Ron WN3VAW's. I use the MySQL open-source database engine running on the Linux machine in the de
Kinda redundant to my other post, but a HP LaserJet 1200 will print directly on cards. I've used both the "Bureau" cards and the glossy stock from WX9X, both work fine. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant V
We've got three teams but there's about 36 hours left to add your call to the list: drop me a line with your call/name/state & a wild guess of how many hours you plan to operate. Weather's gonna stin
Will probably regret prolonging this debate but... Since when are you locked to that frequency? If he doesn't sign, I log *nothing* - I scratch the QSO and go elsewhere. [0] As Barry says, if he was
I've received Tennessee QSO Party entries from the following stations. If you submitted a log but aren't on this list, please contact me. DL5AWI K0EJ K0HW K0JPL K2HT K2TA K3CQ K4AMC K4BAI K4DD K4LTA
The "someone" who's borrowing your callsign is the control operator. *They* must be present at the control point. Consider the situation where the call being used is assigned to a club. Who, then, is
I observed the same thing, on several bands. A S9+ DX station would be calling CQ Contest, several people (including myself running 1kw to a C3 at 20m) would answer, and he'd simply keep on CQing. If
I agree, but I have received an OO notice (I'm sure other list members have as well) for operating USB below 14153. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com -- The wo
I've sure heard enough reports of one-way propagation to believe it, but... I can also think of some other reasons for loud stations to CQ in your face.. - QRM was intense. - He had some kind of equi
I'm not so sure that's a good idea. LotW is too complicated for many amateurs. Not that I can think of any way to make it less complicated without sacrificing important goals of the program, but it *
It's not the active contesters who LotW is a problem for. I would agree that the vast majority of active contesters will be uploading their logs to LotW within two years, if not sooner. However, the
I think that overstates my point. I don't think it's too complicated for *most* people. However, contesters are for the most part more computer-literate than the ham community in general. (we have to
