Jeff, Am I to infer from your email that Bonaire will become a new DXCC Entity? I have searched through the two references that you have given, but do not find any reference to that. What am I missin
There were a few smarty-pants ops who were omitting their callsign in the exchange. They were in violation of the rules, and should be disqualified! As the country song goes, they knew what they were
Right on, Barry! I also hate it when the replying station does not send my call at the beginning. How am I to know if he is sending the report to me or to someone else?....duh. 73, Geo... George Wagn
You can view "year first licensed" sort of like "year first born". You wouldn't ask "first born as what?" That would be ridiculous, so why ask "first licensed as what...novice, general...etc?" FWIW..
Tim, I use the fully auto-tuned Acom 2000A amp. Expensive, but very solid and reliable. (1500w all day long and night time too!) I have had mine for 7+ years, and it has never missed a lick. At vario
Hello all, Next weekend's CW Open looks like a fun event. This CW-only event is divided into three separate 4 hour "sessions", single-op only, the exchange is simple (serial number + name), and the I
I still have a few slots open for our 10-operator team for the CW Open this coming weekend. Any DX or domestic stations will be welcome to join the team. (We would really like some DX team members fr
Kermit, I agree with Tim, K3LR. If a station that is calling you is a dupe, don't even question it. Just work him. It will save time and frustration for both of you. And Tim is correct, there are abs
I just booked three nights at $79 per night (AAA) - 5/17 to 5/20. They are not sold out! George Wagner, K5KG Sarasota, FL 941-400-1960 cell Just checked. It is now the Dayton Grand Hotel and it is an
I am throwing this out there for comment. In SS, I worked a number of ops who did not send their callsign as part of the exchange. I found this to be very frustrating for several reasons, namely (1)
Well said, Hans. I agree fully. 73, Geo... George Wagner, K5KG Sarasota, FL 941-400-1960 cell Dear Paul (SS-Non-participant), The Cabrillo specification is not part of the rules for this contest, and
If the DX station calls for a W4, then he should be persistent and keep calling for the W4 until he works a W4. The pile up stations will soon realize the the DX station is serious about working who
If you are using the Arduino microprocessor board for ham apps, especially for antenna switching, pse contact me off net. Tnx, George George Wagner, K5KG Sarasota, FL 941-400-1960 cell ______________
Yea, I too am a bit confuse by your question, Tim. As my old professor once said, "can you be a bit more vague?" Any logging program will have to be "connected" to a transceiver to be able to know it
Hello All, Here are photos from the memorial service that was held for Jon Hamlet, W4ZW, SK. Jon made tremendous contributions to our hobby, and will be missed by all of us. At the service, K5RQ sent
This guy thinks that the Northern Lights in North Dakota are going to improve his long-distance communications! Just wait till he finds out what the Northern Lights really do. Novertheless, his purch
I tried sending my CQ-M log to _cqm@srr.ru_ (mailto:cqm@srr.ru) , but AOL rejected the email as an "undeliverable" address _cqm@srr.ru_ (mailto:cqm@srr.ru) is shown in the CQ-M rules as the address w
Opinion, yes definitely. Cut numbers other than T, A or N are too confusing in my opinion. Some European stations use cuts, and I sure wish they would not! I generally always have to ask for repeats
Just think, you could work an HK station remotely from J6! George Wagner, K5KG Sarasota, FL 941-400-1960 cell What would be the sense in building a remote station in J6 and then have to go to J6 to o
