So how do we as hams fix this problem? Report every ham that has a radio causing these problems to the FCC? As a group insist that Yaesu and others repurchase all the radios out there so we can buy t

I recall this was discussed several years ago (I think!). But, does someone have a clean and easy way to add a receive only port to this radio? Thanks Ron N4XD

I have had success visiting the scrap metal yards and occasionally find reels of wire which is sold by the pound. A real bargain when you can find it. I've even seen but not purchased large spools of

Never work split? Your kidding right?? Try working DX on ANY band, but especially top band, if the DX is being heard by the whole east coast! Lets see, US 40 over, DX S5.... It could (and has) taken

Has anyone told Yaesu of this problem? And, if so, what is/was their response? If it was the common" it meets FCC regulations" then perhaps we need to continue to make noise here and with our wallets

Terrible conditions here in NC. Very few signals were getting through. But, and this might be why the conditions on 160 were poor, we had a 6 meter opening. Ron N4XD I'm surprised that nobody made a

Jon (AA1K) I respect your views but, yours is not representative of an "average" station. You can almost "see" Europe from there! I like the DX window for several reasons but the main one is that it

It is fun to reminisce isn't it. From the west coast (San Diego) I remember my first European on 160. It was, if I recall correctly, EI5H (lots of dits!!). My antenna was an Alpha Delta twin sloper f

Your last statement is the key (so to speak!). As a community we need to continue to put the pressure on Yaesu, and others, that turn out radios that fill our bands with key clicks. It is not right t

Seems a two edged sword. I recall listening to many dx pile ups where the dx station takes tail enders. I've sat there waiting my turn to call only to be put back in the line by someone who tail ends

I'm embarrassed for all of us. Its sad how many times he sent a partial (say W3) and the WHOLE DARNED world kept calling and calling and calling. Even many big time DXers whose calls I recognize were

I'll bite. As I said, if done correctly it can be a useful tool. When I correctly that means NO QRMING the station that is in the QSO. I'm seeing that too many ops think tail ending is dropping your

Personally I think QSK is a fantastic operating help. It does reduce QRM by, as Jim said, allowing you to stop calling when the DX station comes back. Wish everyone was able to use it. Ron N4XD I thi

Regardless of whether there are more or less ops on cw I think the real point is that a major radio manufacturer (in this case Yaesu) has continued to build radios that have well known and easily fix

I too understand EU station's frustration during the 160 contests. I usually look deep for DX because I just enjoy working them. Many, many times a strong NA station is calling CQ just a few hundred

Quite loud into NC last night at 03:35. Had to wait for the amp to warm up. Worked for new one on 160 but what surprised me was that few were calling. Perhaps everyone was recovering from the SSB con
