Hi Tom, I hope I can participate in the contest and I hope we can work on 10G. If I make it, I'll be in EN50rl - just 133 miles from you. The lower bands should be no problem. I will most likely only
Hi Joe, I really like eBay also, and generally pay by Paypal. It's easy to set up a Paypal account, with or without eBay, and you could take payments through that. People could then use credit cards
They sure weren't awesome here. I had other commitments on Saturday, and on Sunday Hurricane Ike dumped somewhere between 5 and 10 inches of rain on us. I finally decided I HAD to make some QSO's and

I dunno ... some cars just aren't made to easily fit a radio in. Example - my Toyota Corolla SR-5. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesti
I believe the other station was W9GA near Milwaukee. Congrats to Ken, too! 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http:/
Hi Ed, Just curious how the 10W level is limiting you. What ranges are you trying to get? Are you surrounded by buildings and trees? Do you live on a hill, or in a valley? In town or out in the count
If you buy one from DEM, Steve will be more than willing to assist you. He has always been of assistance to me. The most difficult part might be getting the proper power levels on transmit from the r
Hi Alan, Not sure about # 2 and 3 as I don't own a 756Pro, but there are a coup-le ways to do #1. The simplest would be to reduce your drive level to where you have 10 watts out. This should be relat
Yes, I've spent up to 20 minutes trying for one microwave QSO. In that time I could've probably worked 5 or 6 stations on 144 MHz and gone up at least a couple bands with them to get more points than
I myself have no problem with anyone seeing my logs. Or my station either. I kinda like the idea of the logs being made public just from the standpoint of doing propagation studies. I'd really like t
Yeah, it's deja vu all over again, isn't it? Constant arguments about whether you can use any number other than your year first licensed in HF Sweepstakes, whether you can leave out the callsign in t
I enjoy all the contests but that one in particular is fun because it only covers two bands and I can actually have room for other things in my car when I go to a hilltop. The other thing I really li
Good point. How many people go out and Rove outside of contests? 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.con
This sort of activity would force me to move closer to a population area as a QRP-portable. I've been thinking about doing an operation closer to Chicago, anyway. I can always work the Big Guns up th
Fascinating review. I have tried Rovering a few times in contests with a single band (like the Sprints) and the CQWW VHF with two bands one year. It was a lot of work for me because my antennas aren'
I built several 24 element loopers. Not difficult at all, it just was tedious cutting all those aluminum strips by hand. For my 903 looper which I built later, I had the machine shop down the street
I myself tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. I think 90% of the people I work in a VHF contest I work on at least two bands. And I'm guessing they work more people than me. And I'm guessing
He did a presentation of it at an SMC get-together back in August. I don't think it's been published yet. I'll ask him. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mai
