Please forward to me any information on the funeral arrangements and memorials to Tom Cook WA2BPE SK. I have many requests for more information from many of his dear friends on 6 meters who are both
FM is a much lesser used mode on VHF contests for reasons already stated. But if you have nothing else for a particular band than fm and can make some Q's by using it, great! The use of repeaters is
The Rovermobile is stripped of rigs, so I will be on from home giving out points in FN03mu on 6 only. Working outside too so scheds welcome. Good luck to all, and rovers, STAY COOL! 73, Bill VE3CRU/r
I did not plan on entering the contest seriously, and in the first hour made 2 valid Q's then walked away. On Sunday, returned from Toronto to see the spectrum scope dancing with activity on 6 so got
Greetings all. I am seeking the lengths of loops prior to drilling, for a 2304 looper. Also the spacings too. I have aluminum precut to 1/4 width, UT-141 for DE and lots of 4-40 nuts and bolts. Also
Yes, I agree that multi-op rovers should be classed separately to a single op. It does not matter if they are using one or more vehicles, as all are working as a team under one call. We need this to
Jim, you are twisting the facts here. Neither I or the multi-op station operate very late at night. And unlike them, I never operate while in motion. I will not put myself or others at risk for the s
The UHF contest is but 4 days away. I will be in it and looking for activity from all directions. Saturday, should be in FN03 from 2 till 5, supper and relocate to FN04 from 6:30 till 10. Sunday, FN1
Had a great time working the contest with 4 bands and 4 grids. New to me was the nice 2304 rig with over 3 watts out, just purchased. It worked like a dream, and the Kenwood TS9000 IF is the only 1 o
In contesting, we have winners, a few by score and the majority by attitude. Both are to be congratulated. But we also have those bearing negativity which does nothing to enhance our great sport of c
I for one am literally sick of reading the slanderous statements made here by those ignorant of other stations operations, such as with W2SZ. The accusations of them and others enlisting captive rove
I see from the 3830 posting that an error has been made. My first submission was scored wrong, as I added up grids per band like the last contest I was in, CQ WW VHF as rover. I requested that it be
There are a few, who being unable to win through their own merits, are slandering others with unproven allegations. This is the lowest form of contester, and one we must not bow down to. I don't care
In Canada, a person is deemed innocent until proven guilty. Either the "Great American Way" is backwards, making you guilty on accusation until you can prove your innocence, or a few here have it all
Greetings, I am interested in making scheds with any station that has a path to the prime grids I operate from that have good elevation on 10 ghz. These grids are FN14ba - good for 100 to 230 degrees
Greetings Roger and all, Thanks for your prompt response. Regrettably, my new DB6NT 10 gig transverter and 5 watt amp are somewhere between Germany and Canada as I type. So I must pass on the events
The first half of the 10 gigs and up 'test has now passed. Lets start seeing some results here. Did anybody exceed past results for the first weekend oin the contest? Bill VE3CRU Email: ve3cru@rac.ca
Hi Jim, Thanks for providing something constructive here for rovers. While those of us outside OH cannot benefit as rovers, it is great to know those participating will have the benefit of same. I am
The records of driving costs for rovers here is most interesting. In contrast, I have never at any time kept track of any costs associated with driving my Rovermobile. Like all other vehicles I owned
Hi Scott, In the Ontario QSO Party, the province is divided into 48 counties. Last April I covered 13 of them as a rover, the most I have ever done. Mileage was not excessive, as by careful planning
