Well, I'm 25 minutes late. In the 24 hours and 25 minutes since the contest ended, the robot records 1555 entries on CW....about 1/3 of the expected total. Impressive...thanks for your support! de Do
Tree...I know just what you mean. Being QRP, and the band not being that great here tonight, I am doing a sweep across the band, working who I can, and then take a break to come back in a bit and see

I don't think it is a loop-hole at all. Multi-ops, as far as I know, have ALWAYS had the ability and option to have more than one op per operating frequency. In other words, if N2AA is running on 700

Rather than calculate it based on xmit'ed power, it is easier for me to look at it from the receive perspective. If you are 20db over S9, then 48 db down is about S4.5 on the meter. And obviously, if

Of course, your son is correct. It serves no purpose (any longer) other to tell the other guy, "get ready, here comes the part you actually have to copy." In theory, the same is true for CQWW, except
Dear Friends from Brasil (and everyone else too).... It is just like the other bands...when there is no contest, the bands are relatively quiet. When the contest starts, all of a sudden the band is a

Wow...this is IMPRESSIVE! My sincere thanks to Randy, K5ZD and Doug (the other one), K1DG for making this happen. As a sponsor of 5 plaques in other contests, I also want to congratulate all the new
