Hi everyone, I'm new to the group, but I thought I would weigh in. I would think simply putting up the same type of antenna as your neighbor did would yield better results on 6 and 2 than the indoo
I agree, George and Sebastian are right on, just tell them it is a TV antenna. The roof material is definately a huge loss especially at the highter frequencies. Even an unmodified TV LPDA will
I've only been following the thread casually so perhaps I've missed something along the way. I'm not sure, at least for me, that when I submit a "contest log" it necessarily means my complete log.
The technicality is that it in the case of someone building a bunch of rover boxes, they are only being handed out once to one person. Carrying around an ht to hand out to someone to make a contact
I'd like to ask the group memebers opinion on some vhf/uhf antenna/feedline ideas. For background, I've been looking to improve my antenna system. Currently, all my vhf/uhf antennas are sitting abou
Hi, I'm confused. If I'm working the contest as "unassisted" and someone else chooses to spot me without me asking them or otherwise interacting with them, I suddenly become classified as "assisted"
That makes sense, the only thing is that the station would be penalized for a situation completely out of his/her control as they can't prevent others from spotting them if they so choose to do so. I
Your analysis is right on target. Stations who wish to cheat will find a way. Examining logs and cross referencing them to spots and such is simply a tool that can be used to weed out blatent rule
I hope the rover in the EME contest gets extra points! Paul Decker (KG7HF) Its the EME contest, however a rover in the EME contest would be impressive.
Yes, people who want to cheat will find a way. However, the original post went farther than cheating. If a contestant doesn't use a spotting network, and hasn't enlisted other stations to spot the
Hey group, I'm in the process of stacking two 11 element 70cm yagi's. I've modeled it in eznec and I think the optimum distance is about 42". (note that I might switch units without warning). Once
Thanks guys! Just a recap, thinking outloud. I think using the 50 Ohm power divider, any equal lenght of 50 Ohm coax can be used. When using the 75 Ohm version, equal odd quarter wave multiples shoul

The air is mighty thin to be Aeronautical mobile. I actually asked that question in a slightly different context a few months ago. My premise was that the ISS should count as a separate DXCC entity.
Hi Bill, I wonder how well that would work with a 12 foot dish and a pair of 3cx400U7's (yes U7, not A7) ? 70 cm Amp is still running strong. I got a new (used) 40' tower installed and have fi
I can't say I know how to split hairs on the rules, but why not just plant the tower or antenna exactly on the 4 corners marker and claim all four states at the same time. I mean really, do we think
Then no one bothers or cares to earn a particular award, and likely another award body following their own rules will be created which people will use. -- Original Message -- From: David All <n3xudfm
I was going to suggest the same thing. I have the A50-3S and it worked like a charm using the settings in the manual Some years ago, I bought a 5 element M2 6M yaghi. I had the same problem that you
Hi Mike, I don't know if this is what you are looking for...a UPX-4 military surplus 6 tube 23 cm cavity. Modified for use @ 1296 MHz, all machining done, never put on the air. Cavity with 6 tubes: $
