There seems to be so little activity on FM simplex and on VHF FM anyway, I personally would just call on the calling frequency and not worry about it too much. I believe the argument you presented ho
I have to admit I haven't read the rules. It sounds pretty short sighted to me as well. Would that be 146,520,001 Hz that I am calling on? ;) The contest rules explicitly state that you cannot use th
Getting other hams out and trying something different and having fun is the goal. I think I'm going to try and play around on FM some during the contest. Obviously he doesn't win the FM only category

It is a great idea. Instead of purging, simply keep a "Most Recently Requested" list, never remove an entry, but have a voting scheme for the most wanted. You could even extend it by having the user
I'm not sure why an automatic purge would be needed, just use a simple LRU algorithm like a cache would use and let the least requested grids fall into oblivion. I still think "most wanted" is based

I'm actually not ready to take a position either way, but I have to confess, When George first used the "CQ" with the "spotting", I was a bit taken aback. But like George, when I really sat down and
Hi Herb, I like it, but I usually see EME stations running from 144.10 to 144.155, quite a number of the mid west EME stations seem to be fixed on 144.145 or so, perhaps this is where their antennas
