Can someone suggest what frequencies are used of FM on various bands, in particular 222. I am located in FN31. Thanks and Gl in contest Steve K1IIG _______________________________________________ VHF
I agree with the NO 52 rule and agree the rules in general are not changing for the better. For example, who came up with "distance scoring"? It appears to give the mountain topper a huge advantage o
Marshall, Thanks for the in depth response to Ken and it solved one of my interests in trying it out. I tried it years ago and found it to be more than what I wanted to deal with and gave up yet many
I have 2 Beacons running in FN31 on 432 and would appreciate signal reports. FN31NL is at my home NOW temporarily moved to 432.360 running 4w ERP at 480' hmsl. FN31LM on 432.320 (freq locked) is 10mi
I have concluded my comparison testing of 2 beacons in FN31. One located in FN31NL on 432.360 at 480' hmsl and the new one in FN31LM on 432.320 at 950' hmsl both running approximately 4w ERP. Fn31nl
Ken, If I had my way, I say let the users go SSB but it appears many others want FM to be rolled into the V/U contesting so in that light, why not. As far as what frequencies to use, calling CQ conte
ALL, K1IIG beacon on 432.320 is temporarily moved back from FN31LM to FN31Nl for repair. This should not affect many as they are within 9 miles of each other. The temp beacon, although not lock in FN
I made one contact on 222.500 FM but did not pursue other bands. I am not sure FM will be a big homerun and think most are headed for digital. 73's Steve Arrl needs to run big article on it prior to
All, I am ok with changing the hours or moving it back a week as long as the majority agree. I noticed the ARRL has not weighed in on all this. From my personal perspective, I would like to see my NE

John, I had 2 complete setups of the Wavenode product with all the sensors they make. I was really impressed with the software display and the ability to control 2 rotors. I was not happy with the ac
This was a bit disappointing contest for me. I struggled to get my normal mediocre score. I just put up a new 70' Crankup with lots of new antennas that the jury is out on how much help they gave me.
Fair amount of activity in the NEast. Noticed strange QSB with signals fading S7 to into the noise. I am finding out that no matter how much metal I put in the air, my coverage is about the same with
Gents, I normally do not weigh in on a lot of the discussions but I have to disagree about taking away extra points for the higher bands. I fall in the medium category or maybe a bit lower and having
Hello to all contesters. This was one of my better contests with NO breakdowns running 8 bands. Working Dale, AF1T on 3.4ghz with 8w and Dale only had 3w over a 128mi path made the contest all that m
Although condx were poor, it was a fun contest having just installed 10ghz the day before the contest. 10ghz is a very interesting and somewhat unpredictable band offering quite a challenge. All othe
TO ALL, I worked the 2m contest for approximately 1 hour before my eyelids slammed shut. Snooze and you Loose. 37Q's 15 grids total 555 points. BEST Worked AC2Bl in Fn23 WA4lm FM27 KD8UD FM17 K3ZO FM
I would like to announce that I have a new beacon in FN31NL on 2304.324 running slightly high in freq but stable. It is in a test mode running 4w to 2 antennas that are toggled and identified. This i
The 2 beacons I have running in FN31NL, Wallingford CT will be off during the contest. They are now on 432.320 mhz at 5w ERP and 2304.324 mhz at 25w ERP. I presently have a 222mhz antenna up at 500 h
