NS3T's second cut at data clearly shows that David, WA6BIM, wasn't doing anything wrong. (Jamie's FIRST cut at data, by the way, did NOT say that anyone necessarily did anything untoward...he made NO
Jamie/NS3T, Not very many guys have the capability to do the search/analysis you did...and of those, few would take the time. Nice bit of work. What this does is set a standard for the contest commit
Folks, While this may be a tiresome topic for some, I, for one, would like to see some fact-based vision applied to the process of rulemaking. NS3T's data makes a giant step in that regard. As Zack/K
W1MOO, 5A VT, will change from TR to Writelog this year. 6 node ethernet network....5 stations and a site-executive laptop. Last year, TR's quirky use of memory cost us 50Q's and two key hours of dow
I need to clarify something....regarding my TR vs. WriteLog post, and W1MOO Field Day. KK1L, our TR maven, observed that the networking issues were identical for either program...and he's right. Beyo
Acute angle glaucoma.....I was diagnosed with it in my left eye a couple of years ago, and had it treated. The right eye is monitored regularly; the opthalmologist recommends laser surgery, just to a
W2OX observed the growing number of bifocals in use among contesters. Even continuous gradient lenses require a certain head position for a particular focal length. The resulting neck strain probably

For those inclined to want to trace the source of some of the questionable contest spots.....there is a regular source of EU origin on CQDXirc, and probably dxSummit. Today, he's using F0OL, and N0QR
Has anyone seriously looked at the patterns which result when the lower antenna in a stack is pointed in a different direction than the upper? If so, have any of these studies been published? Jim N2E
This is both a fertile and welcome topic, in the post-Dayton opinion flurry. First, Bob....you are the ONLY guy I know who would complain that the headset booties are too expensive at six bux a pair.
Hey Bob, did I ever get those HP-1's back? Can't find 'em anywhere! (regrettably, I seem to have misplaced them when moving up to VT) I would agree that for contest work, the Heil cans need bandwidth
What an inane debate. But then, FD always highlights the need for operator training. Clearly, when there is time available for social pleasantry, it's appropriate. Yet, "Please Copy" has a function.
Folks.... Both my laptop and my 756pro acquired an overspray of OFF, from the overnight gang at field day. Mostly on the major caseworks...not display or knobs/keyboard, for the most part. Any though
Guys, Thanks to you all for the inputs, on how to remove the overspray of OFF from my laptop and radio, after Field Day. I thought maybe it'd be worth some quick feedback. First, no soap removed the
I find it amusing that a computer oriented constituency such as one finds on this reflector would continue to bash the league for not printing line scores. Both publishing economics and timing favor
I received multiple comments from folks who do not believe that skin-so-soft repels mosquitos. As far as I am concerned, it's an essential requirement of a dxpedition kit. In 50% solution with water,
