Maybe I could put the Amp in the barn out by the tower then it would be out of sight if someone came by, or do as W6VSS did and put it in a barrel buried in the lawn. (OH he got caught that time) Q _
Are you kidding me? Do you really think that if someone is determined enough to cheat, they'll stop with such a device? I can think of a few ways to get around this... never mind what, I have no desi
I think that we have heard enough of these unsubstantiated claims that "those enforcing the rules continue to look the other way". Who is looking the other way and who is cheating? Please present the
It is been stated a few times, and I agree with it, that the abuse of power can really only be solved by local clubs or operators observing and reporting and pressuring for discontinuance. However, o
Matts, with 59 plus 60 signal no one can sound perfect. Most modern radio have only 30-35 db of IMD on TX. "Linear amps" often make it even worse. If I were on the CC I would allow any power as long
Hello, Till now I have read many emails saying, "Power, power, power, power 5KW, power 10KW" and so on. Have you ever thought other ways of cheating?? For example data bases which runs during the con
Igor, on the one hand you are right about the bandwidth... for i made an expirement in one of the latest contests i worked siriously. Usually i equlize my tx signal well and with the same power i tri
Tom, I fully agree that prevention of excessively wide signals rather then power control is the way to go. What I would argue with is that proving it would be easy. My noise level jumps by 5 S units
Igor, I'm not sure it will do much good to apply common sense or careful thought to solving problems. Here are other thoughts: How many people know how to measure real power? I bet most people think
Andy, Sure I have heard of some operators deliberately making their contest signals wider. I think that should be considered by CC as serious the offence as excessive power or worse. 73, Igor UA9CDC
Tom's statement below can be verfied by listening to the NCDXF HF Beacons; 10dB does not make a difference. At noise level or in the crud, if you can just hear their 100W carrier, you can still hear
That's a local problem that you and your neighbor can work out. Most people try to fix things as soon as they are aware if them. At a distance though, problems hurt all of us. My point is simple but

I Quote............. "In case of exciter failure, final should still radiate decipherable signal." 4. Neutralization must be accomplished in such a manner that the signal doesn't become too narrow."
Mark, contesting is more complicated then that. If both of us call the same multiplier and I am 10 db louder then you, you will have to wait and loose valuable time. Provided all the other variables
They are not equal. Some of us are better ops than others. You can have QRO; I'm still gonna beat you. "More complicated" in a nutshell. Scott W4PA Vibroplex Spiderbeam _____________________________
