Six digit grids are not necessary. Simply assign extra credit for non adjacent grids and even more for farther grids. Could be quite simple. David KE4YYD _____________________________________________
I don't know John but I started with 30 ft, then 40 ft, 50 ft and now 70 ft and each time it got better. David KE4YYD -- Original Message -- From: "John Geiger" <johngeig@yahoo.com> To: <vhfcontestin
John didn't say what bands he was referring to , just VHF. For some reason I never think of 6 m as VHF. My comments were reference to my 2 m antennas. 6 m is indeed different. David _________________
Jim, Look towards EL79rv occasionally. I will be on low power 6m, 2m and 70cm. Make a sked if you like. David Hinton KE4YYD -- _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing li
This was one of the better contests for me in the past several years for 2 meter single operator low power. David Hinton KE4YYD _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing l
I will be operational single operator low power as much as possible on 2 meters with limited 432 and 6 meter capabilities. . Email me for skeds. David KE4YYD EL79rv __________________________________
I will be working the contest from EL79 Saturday eve till contest end time. Anyone desiring a sked I will be glad to accommodate. David Hinton KE4YYD EL79rv __________________________________________
Sorry I forgot to mention I am only operating on 2m SSB with limited 6m and 70cm SSB at the present. Lightning destroyed my Rig Blaster and 6 meter antenna rotor. David KE4YYD _______________________
I have the following items folks can have for free if they can climb a tower. One EB-144 and 1 EB-432 antenna at 60 ft on the tower. On the ground I have a 13B2 with one broken director element. Appr
This was my worst contest ever. Everybody must have been on 6 meters. I believe that the June contest should be 6 meters only, then I won't have to waste my time listening for nothing on the other ba
My TS2000 works fine on 6 meters. My problem is that 6 meter "skip" just reminds me too much of the old "CB" days of the 60's. Any cheap radio and a dipole and you are in if the band opens. Less oper
I have also supported the idea of distance scoring. Maybe a petition would help. David Hinton KE4YYD EL79 -- Original Message -- From: "Gregg Seidl" <k9kl@centurytel.net> To: <VHFcontesting@contestin
I have a M2`Eggbeater antenna at about 50 ft on the side of my 70 ft tower. It was put there several years ago for satellite work. Since I no longer work satellites I want to optimize my 432 performa
There are no radials under the Eggbeater. I will not be able to stack antennas so my question deals with the efficiency of a single Eggbeater as compared to other single antennas such as HO-Loop, Par
I recently purchased the Etrex Venture form Adorama Camera via Amazon at a bargain price. It is very sensitive. The only unit thatI have ever used that works inside a building. It does Maidenhead Gri
I am getting together some 432 stuff in hope I can get a tower worker in the near future. I have decided to put SQ-432 stack on the side of my tower. I plan to use LMR-400 type coax. My tower is 70 f
After receiving several replies I am considering using four end mounted 4 element beams mounted in different directions connected by a phasing harness to a single lead in. I really don't need omni co
I am putting up a 70cm array at 50 ft in the future. I have on hand three 25 ft sections of Andrew FSJ4-50B coax with connectors attached that was given me to me when a local cell tower was moved. It
I usually have several FM contacts each contest. I never thought it was illegal to log contacts with other Hams via radio, just no repeaters or 146.520. David ________________________________________
