Sorry, but I don't see the grid circlers as being bad guys. To keep them and "regular" rovers happy, you create a set of rules that allows and recognizes both. Paul, K7CW http://lists.contesting.com/
Bob, I agree with Buck. Buck's assertions are true because N6NB/R and his friends were operating totally within the rules of the contest, yet there is still a controversy. The fact is that they were
The top end of 10 meters is only 300 kHz from being VHF! K7CW http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spa
20 years ago, when I lived in DM82, I worked a station in EL29 on 1296 MHz. The antenna was a K2RIW 19-element 432 MHz yagi. At the time, I was running 1.5 watts output. Tropo conditions were there,
I'd be one of those international rovers. A few years ago, I did a June VHF QSO Party and began my rove in CN88 using my US call, K7CW. I then crossed the border into Canada and began using my VE7RCW
Ev, Of course, we are only guessing as to the motivations for making the rules, but one can draw accurate conclusions, I think. The ARRL contest desk would not attempt to explain why any rule was mad
That's only partly true. The ARRL contest desk was inundated by multiple entries from guys travelling to grids to give points to their friends in contests. I was one of them. I was a rogue. One conte
I agree. Besides, I would not put any trust in a statement that begins with, "It is found that..." K7CW http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/propagation/ionospheric_special/sporadic_e.php http://lis
Bill, I wouldn't assume that nobody got on from Canada. Gabor, VE7DXG/R made a decent showing, for one. Paul, K7CW http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting _________________________
Hello Everyone, Well, Kevin, KL0RG, and I were finally able to get together to check out possible sites for our multi-limited effort in the 2007 ARRL June VHF QSO Party. Kevin met me at the airport i
Hello Everybody, Here is the tentative list of skeds for KL7FF (CO35) as of May 30, 0200 UTC: W7EME (CN85) 10 June 0300-0330 UTC 144.143 MHz FSK441 KL7FF xmit 1st VE7DXG (CN88) 10 June 1200-1230 144.
Hello! Here's the scoop on what happened on the KL7FF June VHF QSO Party operation. http://www.qsl.net/k7cw/Alaska07/kl7ff.htm It was a fun trip. Gotta do it again! 73, Paul, K7CW ___________________
I have a question. Why use inflexible coax at all for a rover installation when you can use RG-213 for virtually all bands. The losses associated with RG-213 will be small with short runs as on a rov
I think RG-213 has its place for rover installations. In the cases where fatigue breaks the coax, one must look at compromises. RG-213 is a compromise. But, if you were finding it necessary to repair
You guys kill me. Nobody screwed up. And CQ kept it real simple. Good for them. K7CW http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontest
JT: Who wouldn't want to operate at K1WHS?! Tell Art, "Hello!" from K7CW and to look out this way (CN87) often. 73, Paul, K7CW http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting _____________
Saturday was a general shutout for us, with the exception of KL7 stations (KL7NO had an exceptionally strong signal) in the evening and QSOs with local grids. Sunday was different. We got a scatterin
Howdy VHF DX and contesting fans: This is just to let you know that those who worked KL7FF in June may send your QSL, along with an SASE, to K7CW. I have received the cards from the printer abd I wil
Hi Frank, I'm including the original addressees on this reply. Those who already sent cards to the KL7FF address in Alaska will also receive cards. Please don't send another card to me. The Alaska ad
What the heck, I will, too: I was living in Midland, TX for the 1987 June test. My 6-meter antenna was down leaning against the garage, but I still worked 130 grids running just 15 watts from my tran
