Thanks to k1ep for that definition on partial log submissions. The ARRL needs to keep an eye on this or the can of worms will get quite huge when a limited rover activates other bands. I do have a st
Jim, I will say it again, Waynes group is known for their grid circling I acknowledge that they may not circle the same points of dirt anymore. Now that it has been modified, they would have to be id
The question how to start depends on your budget. I think you said you might rove. With the 706, assuming it has 432, get a small multi-band beam, ie 2/432 beam. If you go to something bigger later y
Yes the bitching comes later when you become too involved in what you are doing Now back to the bitching. Hybrid logs that are half scored qsos and half un-scored qsos via a check log could withstand
Heres an ethics question based on the current rules There is no rule that prohibits one from forgetting to log a contact in the log they turn in or logging the contact wrong. When the partner of a QS
Zack, Unethical or immoral it does not matter; its not prohibited in the rules. So going out and handing out bogus QSOS you may not log is a valid strategy to win the contest. Thats what they are say
I have had a couple of discussions with people as of late that has me really wondering about the ARRL ignoring the VUAC. Some would suggest the ARRL will continue to allow this to happen because the
Jim Time to put up: QSTs article stating that the group you sometimes travel with worked themselves for 98 percent of their QSOS. June 08 QST issue. Mentions it in a neutral fashion, but confirms it
Hold on Jim, I confused you. There is no one handing out bogus QSOs as a strategy. Im glad to see you are a bit upset at the thought of such an idea. That being said there are no good tools to stop i
Ok jim you traveled with the group, invite them to publish the logs. If someone knows where a log is, post it. I will certainly look at it and if has a percentage of rover to rover qsos less then wha
no but given to AT&T when the ARRL presents all these QSOs as proof AT&T could say what value is it if 90 percent of the conversations are line of sight. that can be done with a gprs radio. Sent to y
Jim, Your own statement kind of proves what Im talking about. You said they wouldnt want to share their logs anyway to avoid. You might feel its a witch hunt but when I hear you call me out for not s
Jim wa4kxy, Why did the PSC ignore your recommendations? Were we misinformed about the recomendations and the PSC never heard them? Was an explanation given? If so what? How about the rest of the VUA
Mounting antennas depends on your strategy. If you are leaving them up against the wind of the highway, then double nut them with a wrench. If you are going on back roads, carry extra nuts. Check you
A simple solution would be those of us with concerns about the behavior to seek a solution by confronting the gang rovers directly and in the public. A letter much more diplomatic than I can write wi
anyone work japan this weekend on 6? A guy in cm 87 said they were in today. _________________________________________________________________ HotmailŪ goes with you. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/
With the Band wide open to the southwest and other areas, did anyone work those rovers in California out in the rare grids in the desert? I am sure those grids were quite valuable. k3uhf ____________
As a once regular rover I threw my ku4ab antennas away they may work but they do not stand up as well as M2 antennas do. That being said Norm kb6qk had the best loops on the market but he died before
I WAS WRONG! (you can quote that in southern california) Someone did take over Norm's buisness, buy your loops here you will have no problems. http://www.kb6kq.com/ k3uhf ____________________________
Though I generally try to encourage vhf activity, it seems that it may be a time to make a statement to the ARRL. Marshall suggested sending in empty logs in response to the EME rule change. I am not
