I have some lovely pictures of the backs of some successful SO2R stations, from my Dayton 2003 (?) presentation "Why Do The Call It Wireless?" In-freakin' credible! If Jeff would like some of those f

2. [CQ-Contest] RIT offset as QRM clue (score: 1)
Author: n4zr@contesting.com (Pete Smith)

I've been wondering. When running in contests, I've noticed that sometimes stations answering tend to be .1-.2 kHz higher or lower than my frequency. When this pattern emerges, if I check in the "opp

Hi Ed -- Oh, sure, I know about the slide in close and squeeze tactic -- I've been in a few frequency fights too. But I was thinking of the more-or-less innocent situation. For example, I'm on 28002

I recently bought an Antec SX-630 ATX case from Provantage with a 300-watt PS -- seems like I paid about $70 plus shipping for the whole thing. Very sturdy, two fans, easy access, yet little fan nois

This is the TRUTH. I have a couple of flakey Jones plug/jack combinations in my rotator wiring that used to give me fits till I bought an intro kit from Caig. You don't need very much, it last a long

A second suggestion is to remove most if not all I agree with Hans, K0HB, that this is a terrible idea, but here's another reason to add to his list. The circulation of NCJ is only about 2500 every

If this happens, then it will no longer be my official journal. I will resign from the ARRL in protest after *only* 47 years as a member, because I will no longer feel it wants me in it. 73, Pete N4Z

I sort of agree. However, this is the same Board that directed the editor of QST to go to color on every page just last year, if I recall correctly. That can't have been cheap. It would be fine to tr

Of all the anayses I've read today, I fear that K2SX has it closest to right. Mark no doubt intends to carry through both on the web data improvements and the expanded non-results coverage in QST, bu

It's worth remembering that a poll of a little over 1000 people is considered statistically representative of the entire adult population of the United States, within +/- 3 percentage points. You can

Mark, if you have that level of confidence in the ARRL's survey results, how about publicly disclosing the sample size, the questions asked, the methodology used and the results obtained? A little tr

Mark, with respect, generalities are only helpful to a limited extent. The devil, as so very often, is in the details (and specifics). What questions were asked, of whom, and how were the responses a

If you haven't already written to your ARRL Director on the question of contest content in QST, now is the time. The Board will meet at the end of next week (January 18-19), and the decision will mos

I've been somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of simply pressing ARRL to maintain the status quo re contest reporting in QST. Here's another thought that might go down better with the ARRL Board: Ma

Seems to me the rest of the analysis is suspect because Dale's assuming that all of those 600-700,000 non-contesters are active, and have bought anything more than one 5-year-old handi. My suspicion
