Larry, The link won't work for us. The website figures out who you are by your ARRL login and only shows you your own logs. The only way to "share" them is to download them and post them somewhere el
That's one of the mysteries of the day. I actively recruit ANYONE I hear using such a rig YEAR 'ROUND to join us in June... or any other time I know a VHF activity/contest is going on... or to simply
Oops. Got all fired up there. $4K or $4000, but not $4000K! :-) Nate _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.co
Interesting point Lee. The new hams around here have the "frequency du jour"... last year it was on 6m... when they all put up 6m antennas... this year it was 144.220 area... when they all built mobi
Continuing the FT-847 comments... My FT-847 was the majority of my contacts from the WY0X Rover last year... it was the primary 6m/2m/70cm rig, and performed flawlessly. The year before, we had a dea
Lead by example. Call, get a response and instead of FINISHING the QSO on .200, ask 'em to listen "up 10". One guy around here operates split and during openings and contests on .200 he just announce

Slugged it out here in Colorado with no 6m openings until the bitter end... But, the whole story is too big to send in e-mail, so just take a few minutes and read it here on the website. http://www.n
Understand. Not the problem this time, for sure... way too much wind and usually had the windows open except when rolling. Will make a note to double-check the exhaust system on the Jeep for holes, b
Can someone tell me what the difference is between a "Rover LP" and a "Rover HP" and why the thing-a-ma-bob lets you choose those for a Rover? There are no power level differentiators in the Rover sc
Dave, Last year in June I ran a huge stack on the Jeep, antennas for everything from 6m (two loops at 6' and 12') through 1.2 GHz. This year, I kept the 6m loops and switched to the Tennadyne 88 MHz
Doesn't look like it. http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/cable/coaxperf.html Not too many websites with both on them, and I didn't have time to go dig through Times' website. Looking at a few oth
Amen, pass the Tylenol. :-) Unless you're doing microwaves, then mount the transverter as close to the dish as possible. :-) Nate WY0X _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting ma
I'm sitting here trying to figure out how 6" of mast sticking up above the center of a yagi or loop is going to push anything out of the way? The antenna is going to stick out feet in front of the ma
That's how my top 6m loop is, and it still sticks out a couple of inches in front of the mast, exposing the most vulnerable place on the antenna (the connection from the RF connector across to the ot
I lose 3 MPG at highway speeds, with the full stack on the Jeep trailer hitch mount. -- Nate Duehr, WY0X nate@natetech.com _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list V
Heh heh... is hardline a "wire"? I always thought of it more as "lossy waveguide". :-) -- Nate Duehr, WY0X nate@natetech.com _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list
Sounds like I missed a good day... sigh. My dad informed me that he worked K8GP SSB from a single 6m loop in his attic here in Denver, CO today... and I had to listen to Jim W6TJU's running commentar

It's a non-problem. Even if they send in a log, they have no chance at scoring high enough to even show up on the lists in the magazine, with that short/small of an operation, and they probably know
