I think the of remote receivers and skimmers are given a lot of attention - at least among the people I talk to. What is the simple solution? -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http://www.kkn
The stations at the top of the listing do not always sign their call after every contact. N5TJ does not always say his call after every contact. I do not agree. I still think this is the definitive r
Correct - me too - but not every time. Yep. Yep. Yes, I think that it is bad operating to not sign your call for long periods. Usually something more than a minute or so without signing is a bad idea
I am not Jeff - but I will give some thoughts on this topic. First I will say that much of what we have been talking about is not something that most folks "just starting out" would have to worry abo
One of the ways that some ops squeeze a few more contacts into an hour is to not always use phonetics. They will do this: pile: Whiskey Mike 5 Radio op: WM5R 59 4 And they will do this over and over
The mults in NAQP are US states, Canadian provinces and north American countries. DC is not a state. The rules do mention DC and say that it counts as MD for this contest. -- George Fremin III ______
Whatever. I think they are states. Let me see US States have two senators each in the congress: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm/ Choose a State...... Those states a
Why should DC to be a mult in (insert contest name here)? It is a mult in some contests. Does it need to be a mult in all contests? -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr
I do not think I have missed the point. You want it to be a mult in a contest that uses states as multipliers. I have never said that and I think it is a silly argument. My real point is - why add DC
How will this improve the NAQP? -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com h
That indeed may be the case. Six more possible multipliers. Is it going to be a challenge to work DC? As far as QSOs go, I would expect anyone that lives in DC and will do this contest once DC is a m
This was very cool. Amazing that you were able to do so well with so much network latency. The times I listened it did not seem to be an issue but I could really tell there was a lot of latency. -- G
Me too. Contests have slow times and fast times. Generally I think SS scores are as high or higher than they were 30 years ago. The contest is still fun. Yeah - you don't run 100 hours for 24 hours b
I am not sure why it is only one contact regardless of band but over the years I have come to appriciate this greatly in this contest. It allows you to operate on the band that is best for you that w
Is it easier to do well in the SS from one geographic area than another? Sure. Is it easier to do well in SS if you happen to be one of the few or only stations on from the section you are in, yes!.
Yes - true of most large contests (ie. CQ WW DX) But I thought you said the bands were too crowded. True - the CQ WW has many more folks traveling to many more DX locations - and the bands are much m
There is not an Easter weekend. Easter moves around. Here is a list of dates over 500 years http://www.census.gov/srd/www/genhol/easter500freq.html Easter can happen as early as mar 22 and as late as
That would seem to be an important thing to know. Thinking back to the K1EA CT logging program I seem to recall you could use a command that would change the 'offtime' window that the program looked
Maybe. You should try it. Then do it. Back before there was an assisted single op category in contests K1AR got on and operated assisted but submitted his log as multiop. There was no category - but
<-snip-> 2003? What happened? Did this just die or did you guys create a web site and such and run the 24 hour challenge? -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr _________
