Just did the WRITELOG command after the end of the ARRL DX SSB and in checking both my cabrillo and .ALL logs I find CT changed my 20 meter freq reading during the contest. I started the contest on 2
I also heard a OM station on 21.198 calling CQ contest. He may have been fishing for VE stations who are allowed SSB below 21.200 but there were several US stations answering him plus several unident
On most rigs doesn't the freq readout flip from the RX freq to the TX freq when you key the transmitter? (mine does). You just need to watch the freq readout to be sure you are transmitting on the ri
I actually switch back and forth between VFO's when working split. I listen to the DX on VFO A and transmit on VFO B. When the DX comes back to someone I'll switch to VFO B and see if I can hear the
I agree to leave things as they are. If they were to be limited to 24 hours I believe we would loose entrants. Some people have to work Saturdays and so only contest on Sundays. Some people have fami
It means your SCORE will only be COMPARED to other SOLP stations. You can work anyone, but you will not be competing, in the SCORING, with the SOHP, etc, stations. Each category has separate scoring.
I agree with Ron. Another thing to consider is when a person who is restricted at home due to no antenna, CC&R's, etc, puts in a lot of his personal time to keep a club station running, and pays dues
I agree with KH6DV. If EVERYONE had to S&P then who would work who? Everyone would just be tuning around but no one would be calling CQ Contest so who would you work? I am just a little pistol statio
This is a very good question. I personally heard a Big Gun station doing a run on the low end of the band constantly calling CQ Contest. Farther down the band was the same call trying to bust a pileu
Could these be the few, very loud, stations in Europe that don't seem to be able to copy the stations trying to answer them when several stations are calling back at them? -- ________________________
Yes, but if WHM was like the Coast Guard Radio Stations (NMC, NMH, etc) each receiver was monitoring a fixed frequency, no tuning around to be done. Also from the Navigators seat of a C-130 monitorin
John Kerry is live on Las Vegas CH 3 making a speech to the AARP convention being held here. He just said he supports BPL as a means of getting the internet to rural areas so kids can have a better e
Robert, BPL is currently a big subject in Ham Radio today. As I stated I was not making a political statement, only reporting what I heard on live T.V. which I thought was relevant because of a coupl
Remember a lot of it has to do with sunspots. When the cycle is high I can work EU from the Western USA no problem, even the 100 watt guys on a dipole or vertical. When the spots are low, like they a
Yes, Yuri, one of my prized possessions is an old QST from when I was based in Alaska with my picture as Top Dog (husky) as highest score from KL7 that year in the ARRL DX. More hair and less pounds.
What if a person holds a Tech license and uses an Extra Class's call. Legally he should not be on the Extra Class freqs but who would know the difference? -- _________________________________________
As the CT website indicates, K9TM has assumed those duties. If you click on the Master Databases from K9TM link on the CT site you go into cyberspace but you can go to: http://www.k9tm.com/ to find t
Nice thing about the MASTER CALL LIST is that a DX station does not have to waste a lot of time asking over and over again for a weak station who is calling him his call sign. If it pops up as a part
Hans, you are entitled to your own opinion. The file is there for those who want to use it. If you don't want to use it, you don't have to. If the rule makers would say it is not legal then it should
