"Right! This is almost word for word what my article in CQ Magazine (early 1980's) advised to do! The title was something like: "How To Operate an Efficient M/S." That's about 30 years ago now. Maybe
Tony: Good for the kids, and good for you! You should post your score on 3830 so the kids can show their friends and teachers. I expect that, at age13, they do not find bladder control to be one of t

A lot of us here got our call signs during the First Great Rush at the end of 1976. I'll bet every one of us has a story. Much gnashing of teeth over what call sign to ask for. At that time, in most
One minor correction to my earlier call sign brain dump: ... At that time, in most call areas only a handful of "K" 1X2 call signs had ever been issued (exceptions being the *fourth*, sixth, and mayb
PULLEEZE! Those 1977 call signs were NOT *vanity* call signs. They were issued on request to those who had passed the Extra Class exam when the exam still meant something. As far as I am concerned, t
Steve: The same sort of thing happened to me, with a K3, coincidentally I think. Sure is disconcerting, to say the least. KH6NZ came back to my call on 20 and when I hit my SEND EXCHANGE key my K3 an
I'm very sorry to hear this, not surprised Jerry made it all the way to 90. You can read a QST Profile on him in QST for October, 1990. I wrote it. When I showed up at their house first thing in the
Jim, WX3B: Thanks for your very interesting posting and comments on 3830. Maybe you should post it on cq-contest, too, so more people will read it. 3830 is a wonderful resource and, as you say, a goo
Quote from 3830: While there's certainly no love lost between ARRL and me, I think they have the right, maybe even the responsibility, to their own contest structures. After all, it's primarily U.S.
Jose: Thank you for the obvious amount of work this required! History is woefully neglected in all aspects of amateur radio, so you have done a great service for all of us. Jim Cain At The K1TN Super
Anybody else notice that not a single phone operator has posted on this topic? Like most folks I'm in total denial about the Aging Process but I have noticed that less and less I like trying to sort

John: Accidentally activating TX TEST is part of your initiation into the K3 Kult. Once you have succumbed to all the other built-in initiation "features" in the radio, you will get a message on scre
This comment on 3830 by N2IC: "Too bad that the conflict with the FOC marathon allows some Sprinters to make QSO's that aren't available to non-FOCers" was something that hadn't occurred to me but wi
Thanks to N2ZN for the tip on the Hamvention slide show about N6ZZ, Phil Goetz. Was the 2007 Hamvention the first time it had been presented? N6ZZ died on February 27, 2007. In the fall of 2004 I tal
I am looking for issues of The DX Bulletin to complete a set. I need Issues 247 (July 1984) through Issue 325 (February 1986). I'll take whatever you have to help fill in this gap. Thank you. Jim Cai
