The WX0B box is a quick and easy way to do three antennas. If you are only doing two antennas and if you would like to try an out of phase condition you can just use relays and some coax of the corre
Yes it has, and I do not see a problem with this - I have done it a few times. It gives more contacts to folks on whatever band or bands beyond the four that we submit for the score. Since this is us
Yes - this is a bit of mess right now. The ARRL contest rules were all split up some number of years ago in an effort to save space when the rules were printed in QST in each contest announcement. Th
If you are single op - you can not use this tool. No one, even multi ops can't do this. No one can do that - it would be a form of self spotting. It is a form of spotting - and the rules only allow t
Yes - I would think so. My internet connection for years now has been using off the shelf WIFI access points over a 5 mile path. Dish on my end and an omni on the other end. -- George Fremin III - K5

You have posted this same thought several times. "You can either work them or you can't." How does this make the "VHF ways" so different than "HF ways" of operating contests? that if you can't work t
This might be true. It is true that a major multi-multi went to PJ2 (as I recall) and had operators standing by on the switchboard to round up multipliers on the various bands by calling them on the
Cool. Here are some tables that w3lpl producded a number of years ago that do a similar thing and the format is very useful. http://www.k1ttt.net/technote/coaxloss.html#tables -- George Fremin III -
What are you using for feedline on the various bands and how long are the feedline runs. As you already know depending on feedline loss and the quality of the preamp and the radio you may or may not
Yes. Sunlight is a good thing. Recently on another list there has been a discussion of ethics and rules and such. One of the posts was from K5ZD who had just given the contest ethics talk at the Cont

I think this is a great idea. CQ has done this with the CQ WW DX contest logs. -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr _______________________________________________ VHFc
I have never understood what it is that some people fear if they publish their contest logs. For me I am more than happy to allow anyone to review my logs. I will even go a step further and allow any
