REF seems pissed apparently the French version of the FCC didn't even notify them. What I haven't seen is whether this is a one-off or part of a move Region-wide or globally. I kind of doubt it - it'
I wouldn't worry about it. The bulk of mults on the lowest bands may move to JT cheat modes but is that really going to happen above 23 cm? I don't operate there (I have 1296 capability but antennas
The original TQSL software sucked. It was all re-written a few years ago, primarily by K1MU, and now (with occasional bumps) just works. The original online directions also sucked but they've been re
On Mon, Nov 25, 2019 at 7:50 AM: I seriously doubt there were many truckers on Class D CB in 1958 when it was created out of the old 11-m amateur band. The band had been moved down several 10s of kHz
Most are ... given that the 8000 Novices (of ~750k licensees) mostly don't really exist and that Technicians have HF privileges ... -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! ________
Asking anything on AMSAT-BB is ... well, you'll see ... You will always be 90 deg off on one band. This is even an issue on some of the LEOs where you need to flip the antenna 90 deg to maximize gain
I looked at the manual for my IC-910H and see that while it has 6-pin mini-DIN DATA jacks for Main and Sub (no PTT on Sub jack), it has only a single ACC (ACC(1)) jack. Icom HF rigs (older ones) have
Never understood this. When "Dayton" was in Trotwood (5 miles from downtown Dayton) no one mentioned Trotwood - ever. And it was there, like, 50+ years. Now they move over to Xenia (13 miles from dow
Had that same thought some time ago: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oJV0Bv24mHhq_eICUp3L6g4pTy-wItUWfkyT-Uf5z0g/edit?usp=sharing There are some links, too, and IIRC, one has some of the hist
FT8 split the RTTY list (which has been around since steam days) into two. The original list is dead and "rtty-digital" is not much better. Hint - more channels doesn't mean more good content. You'd
I gather that there is some way to hack WSJT-X to do full-auto so that US hams can violate Part 97 and something something something. I am against telling other people what is and isn't fun for them,
Not a 6-pin Mini-DIN? http://wa8lmf.net/6-Pin-MiniDin-Data-Connector/ -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing
The manual posted seems to say that the FT-100D has both types, the Yaesu 8-pin (mini DIN, I assume) as well as the "standard" 6-pin mini-DIN "DATA" jack. See WA8LMF's page at the link I posted for h
They are very small. I'm sure that 20 years ago, they were much larger. In part, thanks to this thread, I made a serious attempt to diagnose my own 6-pin mini-DIN issue ... Turns out if you look at t
I'm not but will do that anyway. :-) The precedent is in Field Day, which as we all know is totally and definitely not a contest. Phone Qs there are 1 point, CW and digital are 2 points. Since, in th
If I use a computer to send all CW messages and all Phone messages am I in legacy or "Computer"? This is just a generational change that some folks can't stand so they want to penalize #TheKidsToday
Sure, if you bought the 220-MHz module. Icom has finally realized that making everything an option just complicates their physical design, increases their costs, all while while annoying customer, so
Lol. DXEngineering has the 9700 on sale for US$1500. Run that through an inflation calculator to 1990 (and I think the FT-736 is even older) and back then that would have been less than 800 bucks. Al
It seems like people don't understand Parts Per Million or something. Having just looked at the manual online (to see the pinouts on the ACC1) I see an SMA for "[REF IN 10MHz]". I don't recall seeing
