You can judge that I am in favor of NO SPOTTING of any sort during a contest. All this dismay and wringing of hands about "who spots who" is equivalent to a gaggle of whores arguing among themselves
I don't agree. BEFORE the contest (emphasis on "Before") you have engineered up the best station you can to play in the contest. If you're a better station designer than me, you have earned an advan

The IC775 doesn't have "two receivers" (with separate front ends) like some other models. Thus putting the second VFO on a separate band will give poor (or no) sensitivity on that band. 73, de Hans,
I've had both, and for contesting I'd stay with the 980. The 706, although it has other advantages (portable, etc.), will be disappointing in a contesting environment after using a 980. 73, de Hans,
What a sorry insulting response! You owe an apology to the entire midwest. 72.5, de Hans, K0HB at spot in _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting
Radiosport contesting is the only sport I know of where (while striving for a high score ourselves) each competitor has a vested interest in giving a score to the other participant of the moment. As

One of the common objections (maybe the most common) to remote operation seems to be the "unfairness" of it. I'm struggling to understand that objection. For purposes of exploration of this objectio
I think most of us "grumpy old men" (is Sophia Loren around here somewhere?) would agree with that. Is the "unlimited" category a stifling place? 73, de Hans, K0HB/W7 "Just a boy and his radios" ___
