I saw this coming. I called it, even. Now we are DEFINITELY in Get Off My Lawn territory ... though I admit that this is the first time I've seen a post-2000 General complain that the post-2007 Gener
They often are ... I'm hoping against hope that when the top hireling at HQ retires that there will be a housecleaning. I think there are too many Cycle 19 types there and I think it hurts the organi

OK, website says "8 am mountain time" ... is that 1500 UTC year-round? Sadly, I can't make that except Saturdays. I will give a listen this week, though. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Tra
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din! I, for one, am not interested in being belted *or* flayed. But yes, that would surely be helpful if for no other reason than to make sure there is more than
You have it exactly right in both cases. I, for one, would love to have transverters for a band or three but unless the control cable plugs into the the ACC or DATA jacks on the back of my IC746Pro i
I've always assumed it was because 222 MHz was a Region 2 ham band and not available in Japan. Without that domestic market I/Y/K couldn't make the numbers work. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws n
Y'all know about QRZ.com, right? All the info you need is here: http://www.qrz.com/db/W1AW Agreed that HQ's site is useless for most things (they let me register VE test sessions on line now, though,
"On the list" here at N5UWY as well. Played with several years ago when in college (W5YM) including AO-13. Copying Keplerian elements from packet bulletins into whatever that DOS software was that AM
42 Qs in the ARRL contest but only 11 confirmed via LOTW. That's low. In a RTTY contest I'd be over 50% by this long after the contest. Even an HF contest like SS would net me more than that by now.
I got mine electronic-only; sat on 99 for the longest time. :-) I have ~230 worked and about 120 confirmed on LOTW (and a few more on cards). I'm getting itchy-close to that 125 sticker. :-) Even tho
Cheaper, too. QSL (W4MPY) - $0.128 Postage both ways - $0.98 Total - $1.27 per QSL mailed. I could economize by printing my own QSLs and may do that when I run out of my current batch. I could save a

HF, too, now that you mention it. Even in the early oughties, if I worked a few hundred in SS, I'd get cards the next couple weeks, but I don't know when the last time was that I got a SASE or a post
Ah, yes. Canada Post Corporation. I'll just leave it there but having lived in H9H at one time, I feel your pain. I think, like VIA Rail, their purpose is to dissuade you from using their service. :-
TQSL prior to v1.12 (I think) was bad. As in ugly. It worked, but man. v1.13 was the first that had been massaged by the new team. They eventually rolled out a v2 and it's MUCH improved. The two sepa
Thanks! You confirmed FN21 for me from a QSO In 2010 which I used to get VUCC. :-) -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _______________________________________________ VHFcontes
Thanks for doing that. I uploaded all the QSOs from when I was a Novice (not really, I was a Technician Plus but I was working on my code speed to upgrade) even though I'll never claim an award with
As noted, it's easy to see when an active ham joins and you get 10-15 matches from all the contest contacts over the years. :-) -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! ____________
It still does. And you can enter 1, 2, or 4 grids for those of you that like boundaries and corners. I don't think this summary is exhaustive, but changes to Callsign (Certificate and DXCC), band/fre
