Does no one other than me understand the real problem here? It's not packet, it's the rampant use of MDH (multiplier detection hormone). Why do you think all these contesters go to Dayton every year
Many people have cautioned me over the years not to mix religion, politics, or sex with ham radio. I never understood that advice since they constitute all the things in this world that are fun, or s
As consensus seems to be developing here for the idea of recording contest audio for future reference, some of our higher-tech participants question the relevance of magnetic tape technology in this
I can actually think of one case in point where a recording could be useful. I don't think it rises to the level of justifying a requirement that anyone do anything. Many times, while running a pileu
Yuri makes some good points regarding "UN7MMMM" and "JJJ2CJB". Our AH6XX log lost two QSO's with JJ2CJB, and I waited to see what would get stirred up since it seemed likely that this would affect a
In my experience, N1MM equals the legendary CW sending performance of CT and WriteLog does not. Those who started computer logging with CT will remember that the "type ahead" capability of CT enabled
A fine point regarding Part 97: The 2nd harmonic spec. may well be 48db down (at 1.8 MHz or whatever), but that is the limit on spurious radiation whether or not anyone is interfered with. Harmful in
I strongly agree with Doug. Perhaps the reflector administrators could compile a short list of topics that have been re-hashed to death more times than Avogadro's number and list them at the top of t
As some with interests in communication in general, beyond ham radio contesting, may have noticed, my (infrequent) comments have tended to focus on the debate about the debate, i.e. the "metadebate",
To underscore what KQ2M said, see the following quote from Wikipedia (the same information can be had from multiple sources you can find via Google. Modafinil is the generic name for Provigil.) Indic
Ryan: OR, we could find out if there really is something to be concerned about, or if HQ was just telling the "I hope we have an emergency this year" crowd what they wanted to hear. There are plenty
$10 for (valet) parking at the Doubletree sound like a screaming bargain to anyone who's been to Hawaii recently. Anyway, the room rate difference is over $100. I already put my res. in at the Double
The following age-related problems have been reported in older FT-1000's and various organs... I mean, sub-systems. Arthritis in main tuning knob. (Use mineral oil with glucosamine.) Dimming of displ
Yuri Well, I can answer this one without being German. The rules regarding incoming and outgoing QSL bureaus are different in each country. For example, in the U.S and the U.K., anyone can use the in
Ken: The lawsuit involving Don Miller and ARRL took place almost 40 years ago, so the chances are that something else of much more significance will take place for you to get depressed over before th
In the interest of civility, I'm disappointed at the strong language already directed at K1TO over the selection criteria just announced for WRTC 2014. Setting selection criteria is a no-win game for
Reflector messages bearing only someones callsign as a title are usually bad news, so I feared the worst when I saw Bob Coxs posting about W3ZZ just now. I first met Gene in about 1972 at a meeting o
This might seem counter-intuitive (to some), but I would submit that anyone who claims to be proud of being called arrogant, cannot possibly be arrogant at all. ______________________________________
