I also like it when some military controllers ask: "Say type aircraft", and we answer with HU25. (We tell the civilian controllers "Falcon Jet"). We are then asked what type of helicopter is a HU25.
I observe some people will still act as Jerks. Last year at Visalia one 6'er from the NCCC jumped the line at the DXCC checking payment desk in front of me and a couple of others and I told him, excu
Along the same lines, KG6DX was active in the CQWWDX SSB and caused some confusion. Used to hear him in most contests years ago but this latest one was the first I have heard him in many years person
I have to dig out my DXCC paperwork I submitted at that convention. I scribbled his call down on my envelope so the next time I contest from DU land I'll be sure not to answer him! I'll get back to y
I would like to throw out a question that is not clear in the rules (at least not to me). This situation pertains to domestic, CONUS 48 states call areas. Ham A lives in a call area with a large numb
Roger that. When I entered the ARRL 10 mtr last year as a /DU in Manila 80 per cent of my Q's were outside the USA. Alan, K7ACZ, ex DU/K6ACZ -- _______________________________________________________
Jay, VY1JA, asked me to post that his PC is down and so cannot post this info himself. He just got on the contest at 2047Z, Sat, 12/13. He will be camping out on 28.427 SSB and 28.027 CW looking for
That could be taken as WM5R portable in the 2nd district of Great Britain (G2) -- __________________________________________________________________________ Alan Zack Amateur Radio Station K7ACZ Las
Never even heard a EU station here in Las Vegas. Did work some FK8, 3D2, T30, ZL, ZK1 and ONE (?) JA only. No VS, DU, HL, HS, YC, etc. About an hour before the contest ended the band went stone dead.
You should also check your log mult column and see how a Hawaii station was logged. It should be logged as KH6, not HI (the state abbreviation). HI is for stations from Dominican Rep. -- ____________
I have carried a TS-50 to the Philippines many times for contesting there. They are cheaper now than when I bought mine about 10 years ago. Please see: http://www.arrl.org/contests/soapbox/index.html
Yes, for sure. What I really hate is people reporting they DON'T hear the DX! _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting
Guess I should mention using the set up described below I won both the CQWWDX and ARRL 10 meter as SOLP in the Philippines twice the two years I made separate trips there, so the rig does work. 73 __
You evidently don't have a PACKET CLUSTER alarm to alert you when a designated DX station is spotted. I find it to be a PITA when the alarm goes off with a needed spot only to find someone is saying
I second Jim's remarks and wish to add my own observations. Al certainly is a great operator. At times he would get frustrated with the idiots who call out of turn or would keep calling when he asks
Then he answered his own question by writing: I can see if stations in the USA are saying "nil here" for a station being spotted by EU or JA. My complaint is with people who spot the DX call then ask
Seems odd that neither of the two Chairmen for 7th Call Area QSO Party hold 7th call area calls. Yes, I know they changed the rules a long time ago but I still have not gotten used to it. ___________
This appears to be the CW part of the CQWWDX. Are there links to the SSB and other years results. TIA & 73 _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contestin
What happens if someone makes a download to the old call sign? Is LOTW smart enough to know to match it to the new call sign? Or does the download get lost? I still get QSL's via the Buro for my old
Hope everyone did well in the contest. There did not seem to be as much participation this year as in previous years. No big DXpeditions to rare Africa or Pacific Islands locations, no rare mults bei
