Hi Dave, The problem is that there is no one Cabrillo format but many, one per contest. In QScope, I have been asked to "mimic" some of the data it generated. Those stats in the four first stats : Ba
Hi, I know this is a big out of topic, but as it was discussed before... CQ Magazine expect mail delivery to be back to normal in March. Hopefully the end of the tunnel. Transitions are never simple.
Hi, Here too it is very strong, up to S9+30dB on the vertical. Without rendering the 10m "useless", it makes DX very tiring. Listening S5 signals between S9+ sweeps is hard to the ears. On the dipole
Hi, This is just to share how much fun was this week-end activity. Condx were very good compared to most of last weeks. With only 10 hours operating I managed a very fair score for my conditions, abo
Hi, Well, a few words about this. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Of course Self-Spotting is not authorized during CQ WPX. I was sarcastic but that does not go well through e-mails. Better said, some
Hi, Are you talking about general logging or contest logging ? DX Keeper from DX Labs runs with Wine under Ubuntu Linux. Installation had to be done manually and it is not supported by Dave AA6YQ, bu
Hi, I know this is a bit out of topic but as there are many skilled technician on this list I hope I will find some help. My two transceivers (TS-590s and FT-100 as backup) are now unable to transmit
Hi Jim, That's a fantastic work. Thanks! Great reuse of existing data. I hope this will be an eye opener for manufacturers. With the TS-590s and TS-990s Kenwood engineers seem to have understood the
Hi, As far as I understand all the data are from the ARRL Lab and have been made prior to Yaesu firmware. Also, Jim stated that Yaesu published their firmware update after he issued his paper on the
Hi, A some have said : - put your rigs in normal suitcases, - a bigger rig will attract more attention, TS-590s/K3 is the upper limit, really few people bring 10Kg of electronic just for fun during t
Hi, That's still the case even in solar peak if you leave in an area with a low radioamateur population like here in SE Asia. When the band does not open to EU or NA, you can get bored very quickly w
Hi, Yes, comparing against one rig is difficult, and we are lucky the top rig in the list is rather affordable. What would it be if the Hilberling PT-8000A was blowing everything else. One the other
Hi, I will not enter the discussion about WRTC rules as I don't plan to run for a seat in this competition. However your stats for VK/ZL logs in the main contests are very interesting. Particularly r
Hi, Also received my ARRL 10 meters certificate yesterday (saturday). I always find that the ARRL certificate design and colors is very attractive and stands out among the other certificates. 73, Yan
Are those with a lot of key-clicks obliged to signed /QRM ? Merry christmas to all. 73, Yan. -- Yannick DEVOS - XV4Y http://xv4y.radioclub.asia/ http://varc.radioclub.asia/ __________________________
Hi Pete, Merry christmas to you and to all the list readers. I know that's not 100% software but here is one tool that I found essential for my contesting activities. http://blog.radioartisan.com/ard
Hi Charly, I got them on 15, 12 and 10m CW with 100w to a dipole. Never spend more than 15 minutes on each band. If I know it's not the right moment, I just go for something else. You should try to w
Hi, This is a very exciting news as it opens new way of financing DXpeditions. Every DXpedition could bring it's own "time share" remote station located a few meters from the operating positions. "VI
Charly, When in HS (or XV), if you call an expedition when they "CQ JA" or even "CQ EU", most of the expeditions operator will not consider it as "out of turn". They know you are rare, they know it w
Hi Steve, fellow contesters, There will always be "only a fraction" of cheaters caught. The same goes for speeding on the road, only a fraction of infractors are caught, still the majority respects t
