I have to work this week and will be in the car most of the day Saturday going through EL29, EM20, EM10, EM11, EM01 and back. My ops will be limited to 52.525 <FM> but will be monitoring that and 145
Mike agrees too! Don't mess with the scoring, its just fine. However, a rover trying to hit as many grids as they can, working as many stations as they can, should not be in the same category of a pa
You know we can make changes. A few years ago I had swapped a few emails with Gene, W3ZZ based, upon some posts on a list about how for field day (FD) the EOC stations were at a disadvantage during F
I hear what you are saying and I'm not dispelling it but I'm not quite sure we are there yet. OTOH, if you want to go down this path then lets set a single op as just that but do not limit the number
Who enjoys getting pulled over by the police when they arrive in three cars, separate us and grill us for our intentions? Are we having fun yet? Are we there yet? Mike adds, Try operating a laptop at
Agreed but then that's why I would support a seperate category for those who want to operated this way to seperate them from the rovers who are trying to work everyone they can, not just those they K
Mike asks How could you enforce it since all the operator has to say is sorry OM, never heard you. -- Mike Urich, KA5CVH http://ka5cvh.com _______________________________________________ VHFcontestin
Mike screams AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH ! ! ! Enough already, IMHO leave the points alone, leave the rules alone. Create a new category for captive / circling rovers. Ensure that these rovers submit their lo
Yes please, it makes it so much easier to follow if you only repost what you are replying too! I don't even bother trying to figure out some of them and just hit the delete key. -- Mike Urich, KA5CVH
OTOH, talk to an avid NASCAR fan, and I do mean AVID here. They don't mind shelling out (per person) the $35+/ticket entry fee plus another c-note for souvenirs, and close to another c-note (maybe mo
Wow, maybe it has been a long time since I went. Now OTOH I can get into the drags at Houston Raceway Park for under $30 still. Now I don't know how much the nationals are, they could be a c-note now
I have long since forgotten whether I posted this here or not since this tread has been replicated across about 3 maybe 4 lists now. IMHO, we don't need to change the rules, nor do we need to change
Hmmmmm, lets see, this is a choice? Because since I'm not W2SZ I don't see any difference between the two. -- Mike Urich, KA5CVH http://ka5cvh.com _______________________________________________ VHF

Exactly, that's why I contend don't do things to discourage the activity, don't change the rules or the points, just create the appropriate category. -- Mike Urich, KA5CVH http://ka5cvh.com _________
Ah the joy of dreaming. I think if I were only looking for bands B&D I would go with the IC-910H (this assumes the purchase of a second HF rig with A). If I wanted band A in the same rig as well I'd
You may want this, and you are entitled to your opinion and I'm fine with that but I respectfully disagree and want to see more (within reason) categories. Assume for a moment we were to do away with
I have a FT-736R similar to yours the only thing it doesn't have is the CW filter. I would rate the visual as 8/10 and operating 8/10. The only thing I know to be wrong is the internal PS is flakey a
Which after the fact is a bit too late. -- Mike Urich, KA5CVH http://ka5cvh.com _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.co
You are correct and that's my point. If you did away with all the xA - xF categories you would have a 1D station in the same category as a super club station running 15A. Now I'm not contending that
