You mean I wasn't seeing things??? That there may be a natural phenomenon totally unrelated to the ARRL, etc. that could be affecting log submissions, that maybe the committee had not considered, eve
Last message left blank by mistake... I have been reading with great interest the several threads involving the roving "thing"... And a thought crossed my mind... Since rovers are only in score compe
Short answer- time...not enough of it. Long answer- I have rovered the various sprints- takes a bit of prior planning. I have also operated from home, and done portable operations near home. Roving--
The Tuesday evening event here in CN87 also produced some double hop Es just before the Au... Maybe AuE? Dunno... but worked EN10,11, EM70 and EM90. What Fun! Eric KB7DQH http://lists.contesting.com/
This January the Pacific Northwest (and the rest of the country if some bands open :-) is in for a treat... The "Enterprise II" is going for a rove!!! However, due to limitations imposed by the ARRL
At least in the Pacific Northwest, on 2 meters, 146.58 is used extensively when activity on SSB goes away... lots of contest traffic on 223.5 also. Eric KB7DQH http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/lis
Or, if that is where the rock wants to oscillate, and any attempt at netting frequency stalls the oscillator, or, provides insufficient oscillator output, then "tune for maximum smoke" and stick a 3x

I personally think this is a marvelous idea. I plan on an extensive presence on VHF+ for FD this year... Even going to the highest decent operation point in CN77! You heard right-- CN77!! If 6 meters
RF gain setting? That would smack over the S meter and deafen the radio... unless something has whacked the AGC circuit... Check the RF gain setting first. This would apply to ANY radio with an AGC b
Couple Questions: How high is the roof, (above ground) and what is it made of? Wood structure with non-conductive roofing, probably not much difference. The steel roof on my rover vehicle reduces the
Bought mine used around 5 or so years ago, no problems... See KJ6KO's website... seems I have seen mentioned there a fix... Eric KB7DQH http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting http
The "main bus" power distribution in the rover rig consists of 3/0 welding cable. Branch circuits to the TE systems amps, (0552G) and (2252G) are 3 foot lengths of #4 welding cable, tied to the 3/0 w
If one were to "nitpick", the "nosebleed multivehicle work each other almost exclusively rover team" could be considered a new form of "captive roving". Unlike the "old days" when large multiop club
Section multipliers??? The section is part of the exchange, but does not a multiplier make in Field Day... Not only that, there is a "C" class, mobile stations... which, if they happen to end up in a
When it happens, I got a rover rig that can contain up to 4 operators, one driver, two loggers, and two resting in the bunks ready to rotate into any of the other positions as either relief operators
I finally dug thru the log and was able to determine something of a score. This time around, I made an effort to concentrate the majority of my activity on working stations on the available microwave
