To me the primary benefit is I learn from other contestants' logs. I am very happy with so many contests today sharing the logs. Some contests share even the logging accuracy reports ! Those offer ev
Hi Mike, No problem. Just connect them and if they work as separate antennas, they pretty often work stacked, too. I have two towers, separation about 65ft. They are broadside to North America. Looki
It was Eric K3NA. Great analysis, showing by simulations the deep nulls do not come into reality. I think parts of Eric's work might still be on NCJ website. ..googled a bit; you can sart for example

I checked and added arctic grade lubrication to a rotator. DC wirings only. I strongly claim that was a ham radio activity. I had to shovel the snow away to access that motor and gear. As I see my a
Mark, There is a ham. He sets up a station at his rural area QTH. Everything is within a 500m diameter circle. He equips it with a remote capability. He goes to a city where he simply has to be Frida

Is there a rubber belt mechanism moving the needle? If all mechanics is rugged, you write you have checked the connectors. See also internal connections .. maybe with a voltage meter parallel to the
Yes. There are stations on the air. They get South America .. many will be happy if they get a North American on the air so some QSOs can happen. Condx is the problem. 73, Jukka OH6LI _______________
Yan, all, As far as I understand, you can use different calls from different locations all saying VN national league abbreviation for exchange. Getting VN league on the IARU air for the first time is
I am lost here. What will the guy learn if his call is removed from the log without any communication? All he will see is somebody is a no-good operator. 99.6% or so of his checked QSO lines are fou
How come so many suggest stopping there, removing the QSO and then tuning for the next frequency? I was expecting someone or anyone suggesting calling again the station that is on thr frequency and i
Trying to get thru the pile again, twice or even three times should generate more score than leaving the frequency and giving the potential innocent victim a -NIL with the penalty. That is, at least
Kelly et al, If I am not drastically mistaken, the original KB3LIX scenario was in case the running station does not acknowledge in the way the S&P pleases, the S&P simply removes the QSO from his lo
I have been practicing tower climbing. I have measured heart rates exceeding 160 before I start to feel I should slow down. My training program has been to climb minimum 60m (200ft) per day at my hom
There are several warnings on the product documentation but nothing about reduced copying ability and increased score reduction rate. Some bourbon may be catalytic in nature when planning for contest
I think Rick's tool is very fascinating. I am sure Oh6BG and others developing VOACAP will benefit from this tool that brings the real-life comparison easier to the simulation capabilities, potential
