One of our club members has developed neurological issues and has basically lost all his memory. Don't know if it's Alzheimer's or what. Came on suddenly, though, got better for a while but now I gue

I am fortunate to live in a subdivision where the HOA was long ago dissolved. Please note that "these private entities" don't just show up and make rules; they enforce rules that were in the deed cov
How do these play above 50 MHz? There are a number of ops in our club that have them but none ever seem to get on the fun bands with them. Other than 2m FM which isn't fun mostly. -- Peter Laws | N5U
I like the hi-liter idea. I use a pencil on my O-Fish-L ARRL grid map. Corner to corner one way for worked, corner to corner the other way once confirmed. And then a teeny tiny two in between if I've
Thank you! You've saved me the trouble. Columns like WA50 are a reflection of the submissions. I was so excited about a big 144 MHz opening back in ... '10? that I sent in a list of calls and grids.
If FB had a way to collate that, you could send it to N0JK periodically. But it's FB and because of that it would likely be a pain in the feedline. :-/ -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Trave
None for 432 MHz, but I do have them for 144 and 50 MHz. If anyone is interested in those, my address is below ... -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _________________________
I was going to chime in with the same. Great GPS, but outdated. Got a nuvi 750 to "replace" it but despite the color touch screen, there are things the V did better. Like show Maidenhead grids! And m
Anyone have experience with the Icom IC9100? How does it compare to the earlier IC910? I currently have an IC746Pro (IC7400 in some markets) and was disappointed when the IC7410 shipped without 2m. I
Thanks! That's an electrifying endorsement! :-D been through at least 1 revision since the first units shipped. I also see complaints about how the USB connection works. Have you used the USB connect
I see the same in the IC9100 reviews - lots of heat issues with early units. Supposedly fixed now. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _________________________________________
Yes, but they changed the XFC button from that nice shade of green to the same off-black as the rest of the keys. Icom makes great radios, but they need a new person in the Division of Front Panel La
Lol! Sadly, N5UWY has no presence above 144 MHz (well, 70 cm FM) so I have no iron in the UHF Contest fire, but I think running the callsigns on this CAC list through a few VHF+ contest logs might be
Ah, perfect. As I said on a different thread, I have no iron in this fire being restricted to 144 MHz and below, but I bet there are some folks here who would like to read the minutes or other summar
Another question regarding the IC-9100 ... Anyone using one with a transverter? I've never used a transverter with anything, but since the 9100 doesn't have a transverter output (0 dBm?) like some ot
You're clearly unfamiliar with distance scoring: The distance is calculated between your grid and the other stations grid, not the distance your signal travels, regardless of mode. The Makrothen cont
Yes. As long as the mode is legal where you are and you aren't interfering with an on-going QSO, who cares? Yes, there is probably a bandplan, but you'll be lucky to find another station at all, so .
Clarification, maybe, but not a change necessarily. I was surprised that they covered the line case (2 grid), but not specifically the corner case (4 grid). Both are "legal" under VUCC rules for awar
