Some of it may be power. In general, most antennas are reciprocal - i.e., when your antenna is receiving a station well, you will probably transmit to him well also. But it you're running 100W and he

The problem here is that the Run station is not using a logging program, but rather a database search program :-( And I'll bet the S&P station was N9RV... Dave/K8CC __________________________________
Hank, Here is the reality for those amoungst us for whom it's the destination, not the journey: * If I don't think I can win I won't start the contest. * If, while operating, I don't feel like I'm wi
I have to agree with K9NW on this one. SO2R was quite common in SS back at least as far as 1978, at least on CW. The top ops figured out that they needed to utilize their CQing time to look for mults
Amateurs around the world are invited to participate in the Michigan QSO Party this coming Saturday, sponsored by the Mad River Radio Club and running from from 1600Z April 19 until 0400Z April 20 (t
Ward, Nice, but not necessary, at least for IARU. Since AT6T will be sending "ARSI" no zone number is needed to be inferred from the callsign. And since HQ stations are one point, no the logging prog
K9TM and I check the logs for the ARRL 160M and 10M contests, and one of the checks we do on all the log are "errors caused". That is, how many errors did other people get hit with because of the log
Jim, A lot of modern baluns are nothing more than ferrite beads strung on a length of coax inside the case. Those can be phase tested easily with an ohmmeter. But then again, some baluns are not. I u
As someone who was in charge of writing the NAQP rules in 1985 and can speak with some knowledge on this, let me put this consumption of bandswidth to rest. "Question: If the NA QSO Party counts KH6
In SS, all of the KH's count as the "Pacific" section. In the Caribbean, Puerto Rico is a section and so is the Virgin Islands. GUantanamo is not a section, but counts as VI. In contests where state

There is a very good reason for using an optoisolator in a CW keying circuit. The circuit which originated (I believe) with K1EA has the keying current return out of the emitter of the NPN transistor
Rick, The coax is 1/2 wave length, forming a half-wave balun which steps up the 50 ohm feedline impedance to the 200 ohm feedpoint impedance of the 40M329. Strictly speaking, the coax impedance is ir
Sean, The answer to your question is obvious. In SS, multipliers are *ARRL SECTIONS*. Newfoundland and Labrador are combined in the ARRL Operating Organization; i.e., they are one section. This does
All: I've had cases with my homemade full-sized 3L 40 (which has severe element taper and small diameter tips) where ice loaded the elements to the point where the tips were pointing straight down. J
All: December 2008 sure was a lousy month for the MRRC mortality rate. After reeling from the lost of our friend and club member, Robert "Val" Edwards, W8KIC who also passed away in December fomr can
Does anybody have a suggestion on how to find a contester's e-mail address? QRZ.com doesn't appear to report these any more, even if you're logged in as a QRZ user. Considering all of the problems we
All: Thanks to everyone for their suggestions on finding a contester's e-mail address. One of the suggested addresses has already turned out to be a dud, but we'll try another until we run out of pos
