Hey ya'll (Ya'll used to confuse the W2s who might be eaves dropping) Looking for CW Sprint operators from the southern USA for some teams we are organizing. We got our butts whooped by some high tax
The past few years we have seen a rise in the number of stations that start on 40 meters in the CW Sprint. I think the SMC guys started this to help make sure they work each other before 40 goes long
I'm all in favor of the Sprint date change. 1) No FOC Marathon to run in to. 2) No RTTY contest to run in to. 3) No Valentines Day conflict to sacrafice XYL points 4) Probably more quiet band conditi
I just wanted to take a second to publicly thank WA7BNM for doing the score reporting system software for all of us to use. I know how much time this stuff takes. Thanks Bruce. You and Dink have our
HNY to you all! I have been sponsoring the SOAB CQWW Zone 3 and 4 plaques for both modes for the past several years. I would like to recruit someone to take over the CQWW SSB plaque sponsorship for t
Hi gang, Many of you may know that I have successfully controlled my mountain contest station remotely over a telephone connection. This is the same technology that Danny K7SS wrote about in the NCJ
Just done with the 160 contest this past weekend at W8JI. Tom has gradually upgraded his station to the finest receivers and the cleanest transmitters we can find. We had 4 Drake R4C's and 2 T4XC's.
Any links I have been able find to ARRL DX CW records seem to be broken. Anyone have a clue where I can find these on the web? On the ARRL's site I found: http://www.arrl.org/contests/results/#record
Yep, this is about what I see with mine too. I can see it being an issue using an amplifier like a pair of 3-500Zs where 100w out is required to reach (or not) 1500w out. But most common day amplifie
Ivo, You are not getting paranoid on me are you? :) We are still working on the server. We hope to restore the archives soon. KM3T will also try to get the web sites that have been affected up by the
The key clicks seem to be getting worse and worse. This year in the CQ 160 contest, there was one station who could be heard most of 5KC with his FT1000D. Several others using Yaesu radios were also
I might suggest this is more a phenomena of signals being loud in Florida and weak in western W7. 73 Bill -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: cq-co
I'm trying to find out what the following stations were using on 10 meters during the ARRL DX CW contest on Sunday. I would appreciate knowing the following: 1) What radio & amplifier 2) Were you usi
I was at K1EA's station at the bottom of the last cycle for CQWW CW and the differences between here and there are more pronounced than a sunset time would indicate. I believe that their proximity to
K1AR asked me to post this so you guys would quit picking on him and move the conversation to something controversial that didn't include him. Background -- I have noticed what I'll call key clicks a
Why is it only the guys with AMPS are the ones with clicks? Seems to me if the rig was generating key clicks, some of the guys running barefoot would also have clicks. This leads me to suspect this i
There were several in the list (if you look again) that did not have amplifiers. The receiving station said he also used attenuation. It was not his assertion that the clicks went away at lower signa
I didn't see that note. In that case, it's not so clear. Clicks are clicks, whether the signal is 40 over 9 or merely S7. The clicks will be weaker when the station is weaker, but it should still be
