I disagree with Paul. What has happened in the past is 100s of people have gave up contesting for various reasons. The reasons for quitting have never been examined. At least in Marshalls plan there
Hi all, I did not mean to hi-jack Marshall's idea. A letter in place of a log is a good idea as well. Paul wrote the letter to me and the reflector. If you notice the reflector e-mails are screened a
I liked my ft 897 I bought it last spring. I am selling it soon. It was a good rover radio on the one rove I tok it on. However its a bit big and apt to damage as compared to other radios. IE radios

As I learned from researching this over the last week, The chances of randomly finding another station you can not hear with your ear on a vfo are insanely small. Really the true assistance is the Jo
Jim made a good point on a side argument on how things are diffrent in the way we opperate between classes. A grid circling group can adverage a much higher QSO rate over the long haul than a non cir
While the rover rules affect me dirrectly, I'm curious what the log counts will do with the EME changes. I'm sending in a blank log in protest of the rover situation. If I dont speak up for 2 years t
John asked about the rule idea, Rule idea: A simple fix as recommended in 2004 and aired out here quite a few times well before the last 2 sets of at least partially ineffective changes would read so
Jim said not to send in a blank log, write a letter to my reps. Sorry I tried that, the PSC ignored the VUAC recommendations and my VUAC member that represents this area quit. I have written letters
I find the Obama Beans posting on the ARRL's webpage/ soap box quite disturbing. That is disturbing by those who posted it and the ARRL allowing it to stay on its webpage. k3uhf _____________________

Jim asked a lot of questions here about where to divide enterants. The difference we are talking about Jim is the difference between station enhancement and the operating practices of the competitors

Well what you are talking about seems much more of a stretch than seperating a band of 10 station workng together in unison to inflate their score and those who do not do this. It simple just put the

Thanks for the info, The vast majority of the upper band contacts are made in an effort to inflate scores in ARRL contests by grid circling rovers. The House sub committee should subpoena the VHF con
If we as hams can not show the world a productive way to use this and actually use it in a productive manner than we should give it back when someone has an actual productive idea on how to use it. R
For the most part I agree with N1LF. We have had the spectrum for decades and the majority in numbers of contacts on these bands have came from people working each other in situations where they can
