Oops, wrong frequency. Got my 2M and 432 calling frequencies mixed up. I'll be calling on 432.120 at 7:30 PM for stations down in So. California. 73 Tom K6EU over During _____________________________
A question for other rovers, do you upload your contest Qs to either LOTW or eQSL? If so do you use the /r callsign or the non-rover one? (IE K6EU or K6EU/r) I have been uploading using the rover cal
This is a fascinating idea. It would do wonders to increase activity for both the VHF contest and FD VHF stations. 73, Tom K6EU _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing l

Has anyone built the 8el 432 yagi from the dimensions on the W0FMS site? The length of director four (11") looks wrong. I suspect it should be 12" instead. George: Will you be operating from near Wil
Tried but received an error message. I'm a choice three (a rover). I suspect choice four will not get a lot of "votes" as those who can't access the Internet with-in 24 hours of the conclusion of a c
I'm not so sure opening up the National calling freq is a good idea. There is a bit of activity on .52 out here (SF Bay area). The risk you run is that you *iss off the very people you want to give y
The screen supply for a linear amplifier has to be stable (IE regulated) to minimize inter modulation distortion. In an old class C amplifier, the screen supply is usually just a resistor in series w

Black Mountain, boy does that bring back memories. Back in the early 60ies, I operated my first contest from Big Black using the call K4QPJ. It was not only a five to six hour drive but we had to lug
Interesting, out here in northern CA, there was a lot of activity on 2M FM during FD until a couple of years ago. Last year the vast majority of the stations were on SSB. Very little activity on 220

To print you log, look for the file "log.txt" in the program directory. The default install directory is "program file/vhf log V2.X" where "X" is the version number. Open the "log.txt" file with your
Interesting indeed. This appears to be prompted by the proposal to significantly revise V/UHF contested made many months ago. It included among other proposals changing the June contest to the lower
Ditto NE0P's comments. Most rovers out here are relatively low power, small antenna stations. Other than the first 30 minutes of a contest, I virtually never work a rover that is in a grid square I n
Thanks for the plug. The contest committee is hoping to increase VHF activity during the California QSO party. California hams are being encouraged to join in during designated VHF activity periods.
I went through the same analysis several years ago before settling on an FT-100D. Here's what I remember about the comparison. First, I'm sure you realize that neither rig has a transmitter for 222.
I've used N3FJP's program for several years and have been pleased with it also. I operate as rover, logging by hand during the contest. I then use "post-contest" mode to enter the Q. Other than it n
Boy, I'm really surprised to hear your comments regarding Mt. Diablo and problems on 6,2 and 432. I've operated from there multiple times with very few problems. Did you try in the lower (overflow) p
