For the past three ARRL DX CW contests we have traveled with one then two K2's and this year a K2 and a K3 (fairly loaded). Our general consensus is "from the other side of the pileup the K2 is a mor

And then there is the K1TN Super Station. The times I've been there on Thur nights I always keep my ears peeled for that Super Signal. There should be two points for working the Pile of Power of Pomo
Nothing - That sounds legal to me. But you could do nearly the same thing if you have the cluster or skimmer. With your two stations watch all the bands on the cluster that the running station is not
Back in the early 80's I wrote a program on a Timex-Sinclair ZX100 to dupe the logs - typed in over 1000 calls in WPX. Never could figure how to count mults from that so we had a huge matrix for the

I've experienced that several times from Central & South America where the rate meter jumped from 0 to 100 .... more realistically from maybe 20 to 150 or so in 30 seconds due to "hitting the cluster

It was neat with N1MM, using ESM ...... If they sent a cut number for NR 4T7 or CK TN and that's what I automatically typed in and hit enter, N1MM sends AGN .... every time! Made 'em repeat the whole
