Very nicely put Hans. I don't know that I can rally around your hunting example, after all, it's in French! I agree that packet represents outside assistance. I just think that there is a place for
regs The ARRL band plans do not list the sub bands and recommendations for ALL modes. You will note that they don't even show SSB for most of the HF bands, just specific recommendations like SSTV, D
So many have written such eloquent words reflecting on the contributions that Ed made to contesting. As a young, enthusiastic, new ham in the early 60's, I had the good fortune to have W4KFC as my me
Dearest Mal, I believe we all have the right to voice our opinions as you have. There is a point at which some let their posterior overload their piehole. You may have reached that point. There is a
Let me preface this with the statement that I do not wish to discredit any of the learned operators that have offerred positions on the ongoing discussions of log entries. It would appear to me; howe
Mike, It's virtually impossible to evaluate your problem from the description of your hookup. It is very possible that you are suffering from common mode RFI. I would do some experimenting with the g
Anyone out there using 3C900 nics for networking? I would like to get info on a packet driver that will work in DOS for use with the NETTSR and CT. TIA, Dallas W3PP -- The world's top contesters batt

There are lots of other reasons as well. As is often the case on the low bands, at the sunset opening to Europe, even though Eur signals are loud, they cannot seem to hear us very well. Actually, I b

With all due respect to AD1C, NP3D/W2 is the correct answer. Personally I think it is quite distracting to have folks sign calls that do not indicate the country they are in for DX contests. That als
Anyone using 3com 3C503 cards please listen up. I am trying to get my station networked using 3C503 cards and have loaded the packet drivers. I have also loaded nettsr and have the thinwire link term
Thanks to all for your input. Consensus seems to be that I should trash all the 3C503's. No one even hinted at ever getting them to work in relatively modern computers. Now to get some 10 Base 2 card
Have not read the proposal, but the boys down under have complained for years that they can not compete with others in the region as they are power limited. If your proposal addresses their plight, t
Hey Guys, I think all the criticism is errant. If you don't want to be SOA, then don't operate SOA. That seems pretty simple. Packet is a tool. In SS, it probably won't help your rate, and will be us
