I consider K5UHF to be typical of the absolute top of the heap rovers in the U.S. Go to qrz.com and put in K5UHF. Ken has told me the loop yagis and the others he uses survive the 70+ mph breezes qui
A lot of people also believe that wire mesh dishes will "fix" their wind loading problems. They don't understand flow through porous media. When the wind speed on a wire mesh antenna that will work a
How do you set up the CQ VHF module for Rover category? Do you do a separate log for each grid or is there some secret to this that I have yet to uncover? Bob N4HY
The ARRL and its committees are not unlike the FCC these days. Lawyers rule everything. The League is desperate to get out of band plans for fear of being sued by some itinerant repeater association
I have purchased two DC-> 117V Astron inverters upon receiving advice for K5UHF. He told me they were quiet and got the job done. He was absolutely right. I have listened, with computer from 160 mete
I propose that anyone who reads this and knows what a tragedy this is send a donation in Bill's name to MADD. Maybe it will prevent a similar tragedy. Bob N4HY _______________________________________

Fill out a ARRL paper VHF contest log, one page per grid worked and mail it, or attached an equivalent to email to the spring log receiver. The latter worked for me. Yes I have been a rover in sprint
I am working on the ARRL HSMM. I need one or more 222 transverters for some 56 Kbps RF Modem work (WA4DSY). I have my old Microwave Modules for this, but it's front end is a little weak. I would pref
I have found the Astron Inverters to be quiet and reasonably priced. K5UHF told me he had been using them and I trusted Ken and bought a couple: quiet as a church mouse on 160m through 10 Ghz and I h
It was pretty amazing at N3NGE, to have Bill Lentz ask me repeatedly if there was something wrong or were we pointed at him. You know if Bill's signals are weaker than normal, that something is rotte
Tom, and committee: Well, I have just spent a ton of money, and begun to spend a ton of time getting my 10 band rover ready for June. It seriously impacts my desire to do it to just work one major co
The difficulty is who is the judge that determines this has occurred and how much grief will be caused by the naming someone a cheater, whether or not they are guilty. It is always better to make it
Don't you just LOVE IT when they screw up like this. A T == .- - at == .--.-. let's see which one will I send, the three element or six element . . . . . . More to learn :-) http://www.cjonline.com/s
I would modify this list interpretation: It was the heart of my suggestion and I don't believe it easily fits your categorization. I strongly support absolute treatment but in a completely trivial, e

I thought it was pretty obvious that the CQ Magazine policy is straightforward. They want you to buy the magazine to see the scores. Bob N4HY -- AMSAT VP Engineering. Member: ARRL, AMSAT-DL, TAPR, Pa
