A radio/TV truck with hydraulic mast and/or a cellular-on-wheels (COW) truck would already have a built in "tower"... you could put one of those on your vehicle wish list. Nate WY0X _________________
Agreed. I've taken APRS along on one rove, and dropped it the next year, because as I asked around the locals "anyone see me on there last weekend?" the answers were all "I never even looked", or "I
Ahh, you forgot the rule... "If it's too loud, you're too old." Rollin', Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'... that song is GREAT for getting psyched up to go roving! What are you talking about?! (BIG GRIN) N
"5) Encourage Logbook of The World development to be supportive of VHF+ awards, like the VUCC. Implemented in September 2003." Four years later, you still can't apply for VUCC with LotW confirmed con
Hard to say. It's not defined anywhere. What's the goal of the contest? The multi-ops are allowed today to use Internet information sources under the current rules. And yet, Rovers aren't allowed to
The portion you're looking at ONLY applies to Single-Operator HighPower stations, the 2.1 section. NOT to any other station types. Other station types are more than welcome to use spotting networks.
"CQ Contest, CQ Contest, Whisky Yankey Zero X-Ray, Rover - Delta November Seven Zero, Contest. Oh no, I just gave my grid square, and self-spotted and disqualified myself. I'm going home guys... have
That's not true. Configured not to be digipeated, (shall we call it) "raw APRS" *is* perfectly legal, as long as other stations have to receive you direct. I understand your point Ev, and why you use
So a multi-op can spot me, and put me on a non-RF system, but I can't put myself there. That's my contention. What's the difference in the end-result? -- Nate Duehr, WY0X nate@natetech.com __________
Of course, if you're a repeater-building freak (like many of us are in our "spare time") and just happen to have a Super Stationmaster or a giant 8-bay DB or Sinclair folded-dipole array you've "stor
As far as the URL's go: Those ARE the standard URL format for including user/pass in URLs, been using that format myself since at least 1995. That format also works fine for many other data resource
Some software even does this for the fixed stations. Type in callsign, beam starts to swing. I'd be interested to know how many stations do that, if any -- but they're not going to tell us. We're jus
What? We've been doing this for years! Did we do something wrong? Of course, this leads to contacts that go something like... "You're 59 New Jersey..." "Ahhh, condolences on the New Jersey, old man..
A note of caution -- stay away from Avestor batteries. AT&T learned the hard way that they were manufactured wrong, and they caused a big (bang) problem for them. Knowing AT&T's engineering practices
Ditto just about everything everyone said... heavy gauge wires to the battery of the vehicle, proper safety-minded installation fused, etc... and then I like the big 75A powerpole connector for that
I did. I've also read the other articles (which are not linked from this one) where AT&T has now experienced more than one explosion from them. They're problematic, the "studies" are spinning it to d
Do you consider the logging computer an "Accessory"? I ask, because having the right keyboard location/setup and the right laptop can really make an effect in your Q rate, if you log on a computer...
The FT-857/897 series doesn't like low voltages much either... Nate WY0X _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.contestin
I think it's important that the list know this is no "ordinary" list troll. Whoever it is, they used the Tor proxy anonymizer/onion-router network (http://tor.eff.org) as a method of hiding who they
