But that never happens in any contest. As I said before, many people are putting more operating time in than I am, and the rules don't account for that. Some have much bigger stations that I have, so
OH, so you were pack roving! You can enter the contest then because you had the expectation of winning, but at the same time you just destroyed the contest for the rest of the operators HI HI 73s Joh
Does anyone on the list have experience with the new Hy-Gain antennas (the ones made in Mississippi)? Do they work as advertised? Do they work as well as Cushcraft VHF beams? They sure are priced nic
I have been offered a Cushcraft 32-19 2m 19 element yagi (really more like a 17 element yagi) on a 23 foot boom. The boom length is a little too long for my current arrangement and the boom also uses

I own a FT857D and receiver performance falls apart on it with the NB on as well. 73s John AA5JG _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.co

I agree completely. I believe that HOA and CC & Rs are the antichrist, and would never submit to one, but unfortately most people feel otherwise. Need evidence-look how they vote with their feet and
WHich lower bands do we need security on? I haven't heard of any recent threats to HF. 73s JOhn AA5JG _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesti

I have an Icom 706MKII that I am looking to trade for a Yaesu FT100D or FT857D. This is the 706 model that does 100 watts on HF and 6m and 20 watts on 2m. It operates perfectly and looks very good al
Following this logic, then, shouldn't we just eliminate all power categories from contests, as the ARRL really can't policy how much power anyone is running? Probably need to eliminate the single op/
Cushcraft has the 6270 triband yagi, but unfortunately the 2m and 70cm elements are vertical! It is the right polarization for 6m, though. 73s John AA5JG _____________________________________________
I have this antenna up now. I went into it knowing it would be a bit of a compromise but it was the best fit for the size and layout of the station when I put it up. It is also nice for the 857/706/F
What do list members think of the Icom 7000 as a VHF contesting rig? Yes, I know it has infitinely selectable filters but is it worth the extra money over a Yaesu FT857/FT897/FT100D or an Icom 706MKI
