Hi Randy and Everyone: Mike brings up an interesting point. Is the algorithm that is used for calculating off-times the same as the one used to verify "a minimum of 12 hours of operation" for single
Hi Don: I agree that you aren't responsible. I must admit, though, that if I ever got tired and accidently called a station out of band (or on the wrong VFO when operating split on 40), I would GREAT
Hi Dick: An interesting point, but I don't agree: "If, in the heat of battle and the depths of fatigue you accidentally make an illegal contact, don't log it." This triggers a NIL in the log checking
Hi Dick: Thanks for sending me back to the regulations - always a fun thing. I wondered if I had missed a change, but I think not. I don't think this is quite correct: "In other words, you can't tell
Hi Rick: Faced with the NIL penalty, I would, in this case, remove the QSO from my log before submittal. I would include a note to the contest sponsor, with the log information for the deleted QSO, b
Hi Ron: I'll take a stab at it... 18! And, of course, 10 and 11 (for now). A quick Google search says that LICENSING continued during WWII. 73, Mark, KD4D -- Original Message -- From: "Ron Notarius W

Hi Alex: The US Federal Communication Commission sets the limits under the regulations of the Amateur Radio Service. See Part 97.305 - note (11) allows phone operations only outside of Region 2 on 7.
Hi Joe: Can't the amateur without an extra class license "borrow" an extra class call and operate within his privaledges without the owner of the call being present? In that case, he or she COULD be
Hi Randy: A ten minute rule for operators transmitting would do this. Is it enforceable? It looks a lot like one operator using two radios, which might be on the same band or one operator using the s
Hi Randy: If you really want a multi-SINGLE, how about, in addition to the ten-minute band-change rule, "One person performs all transmitting, receiving, and logging functions as well as equipment an
Hi Doug: I've been a member of the Potomac Valley Radio Club for years and an officer for several years as well. As a club, we have had cheating arise, including a very embarrassing situation in Swee
Good day, everyone: I did NOT mean to imply that any PVRC member cheated during Sweepstakes a few years ago. The Sweepstakes issue was a CLUB failure and did not involve any cheating by individual PV
Hi Trent: I disagree with this. Eliminating the "multiplier" station, and having a 10-minute rule (along, of course, with a single transmitted signal) would create a simpler category that would permi
Good day: I'll be in Melbourne, FL, this week for business and should be free Wednesday through Friday evenings. I'd like to meet any contesters in that area to swap stories - maybe over dinner? Let

Good day, everyone: I'd like to write a simple program that uses the data from the various super check partial files (dta files). Is the format documented anywhere? The dta files are binary. I know a
Yes. It's not as comfortable with no shoes, but the Boss FS5-U is well made. I don't like the Heil. Check music stores... 73, Mark, KD4D -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my
Hi Pete: I just booked at the Doubletree. $89.00/night, unrestricted. I have in the past paid a premium to stay at the Crowne Plaza, but not next year! 73, Mark, KD4D ________________________________
