A remote TX in the CONUS? For the humour impaired: It was a joke. 160, but 80 also, seem to be on fire lately. HNY to all! 73 de Vince, VA3VF _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contes
41/51 dB...and some say propagation is bad right now. This makes changing 17M QSLs to 160M so primitive. LOL The sad part is that it'll only get worse. 73 de Vince, VA3VF _________________ Searchable
Mike, Thank you for the post, very timely for me. I have been exploring the VLF and LF spectrum (RX only) for a few weeks now, after spending some time and money acquiring the capability. As far as h
Quiet conditions here as well. Contacts using JT9 are happening on 600M. Will monitor 160M. RX only. TX on Topband next year, if all goes well. 73 de Vince, VA3VF _________________ Searchable Archive
The FT8 comet is back: 1) It's still legal; 2) It's still not mandatory to use it; 3) It only 'wastes' up to 3kHz on each band; 4) Lots of people are having fun with it. . . . I can think of so many
It's unfortunate that it has come to this, but I commend your initiative. That said, you can bet money that some of the same critics will join the new list to stir the pot there as well. 73 de Vince,
How modern? Until getting an IC-7300 I used an IC-718. Before getting a Signalink USB interface to go with it, I used dubbing cables between the radio and the computer. Took some 'skill' not to TX g

This is likely the only thing we agree on on this thread. The unethical use of remote receivers. And unfortunately, open to licensed hams only since last week. Talk about facilitating bad pratices! S
This does not make any sense at all!!! If the receiver is deaf, like 'door knob' deaf, fair enough, but it wouldn't be online. Well, you never know, hams are a 'funny' bunch after all. They would pu
I had private correspondence about this, so here is additional information. Some of these remote receivers do have 'bad' antennas, others not so. For 'local' reception, one does not need much. I have
areas (like NA), so I have to put up with all the EU spots on RBN (which I'm not interested in) This is a 'limitation' with a lot of clusters, including RBN, AFAIK. Not sure whether they are the onl
Can you point to a place that sells them. I became a 'fan' of F termination, but have recently had second thoughts because of the bulkhead connector's quality. Thanks and 73. Vince, VA3VF __________
