The RigBlaster Pro isolates the receive cables, but I don't believe the Plus does. Jim N7US _______________________________________________ RTTY mailing list RTTY@contesting.com http://lists.contesti
Almost a year ago, we started utilizing the regional announcement capability of AR-Clusters to send announcements of interest only to RTTY ops. It hasn't been mentioned lately so I thought I'd send a
Forwarded from the Orion reflector because W5PJR (on the RTTY Honor Roll) isn't on the RTTY reflector. I have noticed the same in my month-old Orion. Jim N7US Hello Orioneers? As a RTTY DXer I often
It's interesting that the question was asked on the SteppIR reflector originally. I've never used a RigExpert, but it seems to me that he compared it only to his one sound card and is assuming that h
As a reminder, the cluster system provides real-time spots, including QSL info. 4U1UN has been spotted numerous times. Some AR-Clusters, including mine, have a RTTY Announce function that is sent to
I get the same thing. Jim N7US Anyone knows if ve7cc cluster still active. I try connecting, but it connects to to JNOS ve7dfu instead.. Am I missing something.....everything was working ok yesterday
The diehard weak signal 160 ops do need to be protected or the RTTY ops will provoke a lot of well deserved ill will. 160 is a very special band. It is extremely challenging to work DX. It requires e
Being forwarded from the DXbase reflector yesterday to answer a question from K8ZZ. Jim N7US -- Original Message -- Subject: [Dxbase] Logging RTTY via Hamscope (with MMTTY engine) - how sweet it is!!
"One transmitter" seems easy to measure, but a "moderate" antenna systems doesn't. ARRL doesn't allow antenna gain measurements in ads, so I don't know how contesters are supposed to determine whethe
Would anyone be happier if each station self-declared SO1R or SO2R and that were included in the score rankings similar to the hours expended in some contests? In other words, one list of results but
I am primarily a DXer who also operates RTTY. As a DXer, I have copied the NCDXF beacons many, many times over the years. They've been written up in QST and many DX publications. As a regular contrib
ON5KST has a chat web page with chats for low bands, VHF, and others. I have only used the low band one, which is a popular means to exchange "ANNOUNCE" type messages used on DX clusters only to thos
I ran the Windows Upgrade Advisor program to see what incompatibilities would be expected if I were to upgrade to the new Windows Vista OS when it is available. The only one of real concern is my San
The answer is not what I wanted to hear. Jim N7US Sorry, the Santa Cruz is a discontinued product. We are working on Vista support for our current soundcards (Montego DDL, Riviera and the three Audio
This is excellent news. Would it be possible to use the MMTTY plug-in as Writelog and other programs do? With the plug-in, only the MMTTY tuning indicator is visible (not the full-blown MMTTY program
ByteRunner has worked well for me. I've used the built-in COM1 for FSK, though I would expect the ByteRunner serial ports to be the same. Jim N7US --Original Message-- Do you have any recommendations
Those who live there say, jokingly, that the cold weather keeps out the riff-raff. Maybe that includes most hams. ;-) Jim N7US --Original Message-- Hello Jared, I'm just a random ham radio operator.
Only a little tongue in cheek, I've read that Fargo is a very nice place to live. Add ham radio popularity, and maybe it should be on a contester's list of places to check out. ;-) Jim N7US --Origina
My 160M antenna is far from ideal, as it's not a low noise receiving antenna or a low angle radiator, but it's what I have, and I acknowledge it's better than many others with less space can have. I
W2QO was having a QSO with W1ZQ on about 1809 when he was QRMed by a CW "ditter." Though I'm disappointed, I'm not really surprised. RTTY is in the ARRL band plan, but that doesn't mean we'll be acce
