Regrettably, it is not a contest-only behavior. I hear the behavior all the time when I operate from XV. 73, Larry W6NWS Message: 2 Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:04:13 -0500 From: "Gary Smith" <Gary@ka1j
I get a few calls as well and certainly no where near the number you and the others get. Many callers seem to be completely oblivious to the contest and are just looking for a QSO. Some know there is

Nothing said about concentration. We eat acids all the time (e.g., coffee, citric fruits, vinegar) and your stomach already has acid (HCl). 73, Larry W6NWS --Original Message-- From: Charlie Cunningh
The edger didn't work all that well for me. It tended among other things to leave a somewhat large trace in the ground. Maybe if I had had more patience it would have been better. The ON4UN book had
That worked. Looks similar to a subsoiler I have which leaves a trace about 3 inches wide. I never found a blade that "thin" before. 73, Larry W6NWS Boy, talk about computer malpractice! My first err
Someone did a more extensive analysis of several DXpeditions maybe 2 or 3 years ago. Basically the same conclusion. Typically NA puts up the largest percentage of the funds but doesn't get that perce
The 160 operator last night was "complaining" about all of the dupes. He thought he had at least 50 dupe QSOs in the evening (this was about 9:30 EST). Some people will just do dupes. In XV there wer
The last time I saw numbers several years ago the US had something like 530,000 licensed hams which I think was more than all other countries together (or close to it). No way to know what percentage
On the 13th they were on 3725 and were switching between listening up 10-15 and 3815+/- around 1100Z but you had to listen carefully to know which of those they were doing. They would take some 10-15
You are suggesting something like WAS where all QSO have to be made within a 25 mile radius (something close to that). 73, Larry W6NWS --Original Message-- From: Michael Adams Sent: Friday, February
Sometimes the DXpedition is its own worst enemy. If they ask for W6 and then relent after a couple tries to work the W6 and then works someone else sends the message is you guys can bulldoze me so ke
You're right. I forget which one did it but I think was E30 calling up 5 to 15 and 9Q was at 15 up. Still in band but causing QRM. The 9Q and 7Q have kept their pileups fairly close to their own freq
Perhaps a rewording of the multi-op rules (in those contests where the rule exists) that all stations, including receivers, must be within a certain radius and make it apply to single ops as well. Of
It would be rare for an internet connection to be a single hop. I forget the command (something like tracert) but you can see the nodes where the connection goes. The number of hops is usually minimi
kitsandparts.com sells a kit of an amp of similar design as the W7IUV design. I have not used it personally. There are probably others around. 73, Larry W6NWS --Original Message-- From: Douglas M. Ru
This is supposed to be a "great" Norton amp. I have not used it personally but it was previously mentioned in this I group I think. http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/norton_amplifier.htm#Price_and_O
Measures (K6???) did a relay speed-up scheme for QSK on an SB220, I don't remember the details but it was something like hitting the relay with higher than usual coil voltage/current and it shortened
I read it a long time ago on Measures; website. I never used it. I didnt have an SB220. I just remembered that it was a relay speed up scheme. I mentioned it just in case may help with speeding up a
If the op gives in to the pummeling then even worse chaos generally ensues. Of course, trying to hold out kills the rate. The op may have "heard" a call that really wasn't there or a station that fin
