When I pushed the 20m button on my radio this afternoon, I thought I had missed an announcement for a new CQWW RTTY DX contest. There was wall-to-wall activity from 14080 up into 14120 territory! It

Are you sure it's not the unZIP program that is asking for a password? I just finished downloading and unzipping the ZIP file without any issue. 73 de Bob - KØRC in MN If you have problems downloadin
I just can't resist commenting on how many people appear to be "afraid" of new technology! (That's my perception.) These text based reflectors are so "last century" it's laughable. I consider them eq

Why does everything have to be "taken off the reflector" for private discussion? No one learns a damn thing in that scenario. And isn't that what everyone is complaining about in the first place... D
I think our moderator, Bill W6WRT, is very accommodating in allowing 'fringe discussions' on the RTTY reflector. The outcome of the FCC decision will impact all digital operators, so personally, I do
I am in the middle of updating my contest station from Windows XP to Windows 7 and I don't have the digital stuff operational yet.If you hear KØRC on RTTY this weekend, it's a slim! 73 de Bob - KØRC
I have to agree with Tom, W7WHY regarding 160m operation. But as Bill, W6WRT mentioned, it might be better to start off as a single-band event. The Minnesota Wireless Association has an internal thre
Hello Greg - KØGW... You had previously communicated to me your support of the ARRL RM-11708. We are on opposite pages regarding this topic. Three things disturb me greatly in what I see developing a
Here's a pileup management technique you should consider. It doesn't matter whether you have a CW, SSB, or RTTY pileup calling. YOU are the one who sets the cadence. That is your goal (managing the p
Yup, that can be a problem. Bully operators. I haven't experienced that myself (just how many KØ's are going to generate a huge pile up?), but I did listen to a SSB pile up a while back. There was an

Bill, FWIW: There are plenty of stations calling you but you're not hearing/printing them. The 0400 UTC is too early for propagation over the Rockies from the Midwest. 0600 to 0800 would be better, i
