The QST review of the Ten Tec Omni VII (where Ten Tec finally sees the light and adds 6 meters to an HF rig) is now up on the ARRL members only website. Looks like it has excellent receive numbers. T
On 6, either 50.300 or 52.525, on 70cm, 446.000, on 2m, maybe 146.55 or 146. 58, but not on 146.520, as the ARRL forbids that. 73s John AA5JG meters, 70cm, 6 Meters. Can work SB, FM, AM. ____________
I cannot comment on 2m and above, since I was limited to 6 meters during this contest, but these were some of the worst conditions I have seen for a June contest, and I have been on 6 since 1992. We
Contest conditions on 6m were so bad.... (Everyone in unison) How bad were they? Contest conditions on 6m were so bad that I never heard Bob K2DRH once the entire weekend 73s John AA5JG/R John Geiger

Have there been any reports of 2 meter Es in the USA this summer? I can't recall seeing any reported-only for EU which always seems to get better propagation than we do. 73s John AA5JG (ex: W5TD, NE0
I am looking for an Icom 756PRO or 756 original HF/6m radio. I have a Yaesu FT857D HF/6m/2m/70cm radio I can offer as trade with some extra cash included. If you are looking for something with more b
I have for sale a Yaesu FT857D HF/VHF/UHF radio in nice condition. It does 100 watts on HF and 6m, 50 watts on 2m, and 20 watts on 70cm. There are some marks on the sides of the case from the mobile
This listing is for a friend of mine (K5BM) who has a Yaesu 2 meter module for the FT767 available. Plugs right into the 767 and puts out 10 watts on 2 meters. He is asking $120 for it plus shipping.
I am looking for the Ranger 5054DX 25 watt 6 meter rig to use for mobile and roving work, if anyone has an extra one available. Would prefer to pay with paypal, but could get a MO out. Also have an H
Has anyone on the list used the Yaesu FT450 yet, and can you comment on the receiver performance under contest and crowded band conditions. Also, how does the DSP and the NB work on it? 73s John AA5J

And if more bands are too complicated for beginners, wouldn't a 1 band format be EVEN BETTER? Heck, remove all bands and don't have a contest, that is even simpler, and you don't have to deal with th
One of the problems that I think guides some decisions concerning this contest is that some people who set the contest rules believe that many hams don't enter VHF contests because they know they can

No, CQ screwed up also, because 222mhz is not just a US ham band. It is a ham band in all of region 2 (North and South America) so it is an international band. There are also countries that don't hav
