KB1EAA will be Rovering down the Atlantic coast through the "megalopolis" from MA down interstate 95, to Route 13 through Delaware and on to Virginia on Saturday. Sunday we will return by way of Wash
Hello reflector friends, Short report on my Rover trip. The Saturday afternoon slowed us down both on contacts and on travel time. We didn't get to stop at most of the high places we had picked out.
Hi Ed, I were out there roving during the recent VHF contest. I have the same complaint as you but in reverse. I drove through your grid but we never made contacts. As an independent Rover team we ar
Hi Dan, Since I don't believe the Greylock boys w2sz will not be on Mt Greylock, (FN32) I may be up there for a good part of the contest with my Rover mobile. KB1EAA, Dave -- StripMime Report -- proc
Hi All, I have purchased a mfj-434 voice keyer to use with my FT-100. I purchased a cable from a ham here who was also using the same voice keyer for his FT-100. The cable appears to be correct accor
Hi Folks, I just purchased a Mirage B 2518 G, 2 Meter Amp. The advertisement stated 25 watts in, 160 watts out for FM/SSB and CW. I was wondering if anyone on the list has used or has experience with
Hi Art, Thanks for the reply but I believe you misread my original post. I don't want folks to think I was mislead by Mirage, I wasn't. I was talking about the manual that came with the amp. It state
Well said Russell and that's about the size of it. What difference do the old or new rules make when all Rovers play under the same ones during a given contest? Especially since Rovers can play any w
I have written rover contest scoring software for the Palm Pilot. It still needs to be tested hard during the upcoming June VHF contest so use it cautiously. I used it during the January contest and
Hi Ed, I was wondering if you could explain why using BeaconNet with AX.25 and showing your position to the radio world is different from doing it with APRS during contests? Thanks, Dave, KB1EAA it a
Hi Ed, Seems to me if all contesters tuned their APRS radios to a different freq from the normal APRS freq during a contest you would have the very same thing you are doing. No digipeaters or interne
Hi Folks, We had a great time roving this January. COLD! Our home QTH is near Mt Greylock in Berkshire County MA. We decided to drive down to Virginia ahead of time and start there. Then make our way
How can you call CQ and not answer when someone comes back? Be specific or don't call CQ. You're one of those guys I wasted lot's of precious time on. KB1EAA, Dave
You haven't been out much. I have been in my rover parked next to captive rovers on Mt Wachussets in MA who would not give me a point even after I walked over and introduced myself to them! I also pe
How about we only count the points of operators who send in a log. This way the local manufactured points of guys who never send in logs would not count AND we could easily spot captive rovers......
You don't think ideas are fun? I would like to see only points awarded for logs submitted. It was just a thought, nothing to get your old knickers in a twist over... KB1EAA, Dave
not logs. log S&P new I just think it would help keep everybody honest. If you want to play then send in a log. This way all points could be verified. It would eliminate some of the problems with un
