I have been reading a lot of this discussion. Let me preface my remarks with the following: o I have not used CU2QSO o I have read the demo webpage and believe I understand its operation o I have not
It amazes me that the individuals who complain about secret logs, alleged conspiracies, and "club-oriented rovers" can't even make their own true identities known, but have to hide behind aliases cre

Well, thanks to David Vondranek, it seems as if the identity of n2xre@usa.com is actually k1ra. ANDREW R ZWIRKO 12509 RANSOM DR GLENN DALE MD 20769 USA <http://andyz.k8gp.net/>http://andyz.k8gp.net/
The top antenna is about 70 feet up. The tower is 50 ft and the antennas are spaced roughly 15 feet apart. Yeah, it kicks butt... --73 Don To: <vhfcontesting@contesting.com> Um, we don't go there in
The VHF contest is one of the few contests that allow mixed mode contacts. Many times I will be calling CQ (above 50.125) and will get a response from someone in CW. I find that quite acceptable and

Driving home from Dayton last year, I entered the County Hunters Contest. I had a CD map of our route and had mapped out where all the county lines were. There were instances when we (I wasn't drivin
I don't think that would work. Say I am in FN32 and an unknown rover to me is driving from FN22 through FN32 to FN31. He is going to hit three grids. I am a "slower" rover and stay in FN32 for 2 or 3
It happens a few times a contest on 6M to me. I find it easier to just answer on SSB. After all, the calling station has copied you on SSB and has decided that he is weak enough that he has to use CW
And while the ARRL is advocating this practically non-radio event, I am still trying to obtain a VUCC certificate. I say trying because some of my 100+ confirmations are electronic and the ARRL doesn
So if it is a contest, are there classes like 300 baud, 1200 baud, 2400 baud, 56k baud (disclaimer - speed is limited to 50k baud), DSL, cable, T1, OC-48, OC-192, .... How about rovers using wireless
Using that philosophy, do you draw no distinction between a single op fixed station and a multi op fixed station? Why then are single op classes and multi op classes for fixed stations? There is a bi
I attempted to write to Frank off the list, but he has his mail blocked, so I will pose my question to him via the list. "It seems to me that speak from experience as a rover and are rather vocal as
Maybe they should also change the name of June or September VHF QSO *PARTY* to the VHF CONTEST. People do not always share the same goals. Many "contesters" participate in CQ WW DX or ARRL DX CONTEST
The current suggested protocol is to use the calling frequency to establish contact and then move off. This is sometimes difficult in a contest, because sometimes an opening is fleeting and by the ti
No it is not, according to the sponsor, the ARRL. http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/club/fd-2004-tips.html "Here are some other suggestions to make your Field Day event a fun and successful one. * Don
I haven't really used it for VHF rovering, but I have used it for HF rovering, AKA county hunting. I have done QSO parties from as many as 16 counties, which is a reasonable comparison to a rover in
I put the Collins filter in mine. I still sold the radio at the first opportunity I had. Unless you were into satellites, I didn't feel that the radio was anywhere near contest grade. It lacked thing
The current VUAC committee, which was formed in 2006, has discussed and is discussing the rover and category rules. However, the VUAC is an advisory committee and can make recommendations, not change
