It is often said that using packet does not help much and Assisted results are usually lower than unassisted. Well, just to get some numbers I did a little analysis. I had 2800 QSOs and 950 mults in
work. Looking at them I could clearly say that I could have worked at 100 of them with ease had I known their frequency and were to turn the antenna. With SO2R you don't just find all of them even if
In my mind, there is no question packet CAN help scores. I emphasize CAN because one must LEARN to use packet effectively. Packet is an operating tool, in some respects just like a second radio. Two
Well, I guess you believe as well as I do that those scores are really apples and oranges as Barry pointed out. If we put those top class SO guys with their setups into assisted classes the scores wo
as a soon to be single tribander and wires contester at the home QTH, i look at using packet as a tool to check propagation paths. i have set my packet filters to only display spots from Maryland, V
I can't imagine that assisted in WPX would do anything but reduce your score. You should be running stations so fast that the diversion would cost you time. The real strategy (even in a single band e
I had 2800 QSOs and 950 mults in WPX SSB SOAB unassisted. I was wondering how many more mults I would have worked with packet. David was kind to let me have his nice database of all the nearly 30 000
It might seem to you so but actually the rate is slow in WPX, rarely over 110-120 per hour. That allows you to use 2nd radio very efficiently almost not losing anything on the 1st radio. I estimate t
