Nope. Bug in the software caused all columns to be mis-aligned when station worked again on subsequent band. Also then counted these as "new HQ mults", grossly overstating the HQ mults real-time. We
I guess I agree with Ron: Even if we can maybe hasten the time to the final results, What's the Big Rush? Its worked so well for so many years, why do we now think it's broken? Just because many thin
Dick N6AA and I are very much appreciative of all the real-time cheering we received during the WRTC. Especially, from the Senior Set, who I guess we were somehow representing. Sorry we didn't race t
Amen to that. Why does everything have to be (1) data rate, or (2) skill involved? What IS this compulsion for speed? CW is simply, pure FUN. (Remember when that was a sufficient goal?) Before comput
Hi All: JUST off 18 hours plane ride from Ascension Island, with K6NA and N6ND. Our 3 man M/2 from ZD8Z was a blast, and pleased to provide the double mult to so many of the "deserving". And even to
I saw it coming, but I just couldn't believe it would be so soon, or abrupt. Our friend Al 4L5A / D4B has pulled the big switch at his Cape Verde Super Station. Its happened, the station is down, and
INRAD filters are great. And per Geo W2VJN suggestion, I put 1000Hz filters in both of my MP's, used as my primary CW filters. 73 Jim N6TJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest m
Chuck. I experienced the exact same problem with my MFJ and MP last March. Reason unknown. Thanks for the tip on the JMP2. 73 Jim Neiger N6TJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contes
Anyone desiring to be a member of a NEIGER's TIGERS team for the upcoming CQ WW CW contest, please drop me a note. Only requirement is single operator. Unlimited is OK. Assisted is OK. Single band is
As one of the Senior Set, still trying to sometimes run with the Big Dogs - I can attest that its become more of a challenge now to go 48 straight in a contest. More of a mental achievement than a ph
Just when you thought it safe to return to the jungle, Neiger's Tigers teams will be out in force next weekend for the CQ CW test. TEAM NO. 1 F6BEE @ 6W1RW W2GD @ P40W K9NW @ 3DA0NW NP4Z @ KP3Z W2SC
Neiger's Tigers has added another team, and follows our final listing. 29 operators representing 19 countries. And no excuses........... 73 Jim Neiger N6TJ 9Y4AA TEAM NO. 1 F6BEE @ 6W1RW W2GD @ P40W
Easy. Change hands. Not to occupy space here, but privately I can speak to my experience how, after sending CW with my right hand (single lever paddle) for 25 years, I lost all coordination in my rig
And I will say to Ken K6LA the almost exact thing I said to him when he raised a similar stink about the team selection criteria four years ago in Finland: (1) It is OK for those who wish to sponsor
Ken, your memory is as faulty as your logic. In 2002, when I learned that $50,000 could sponsor a team, and informed you of same, you replied to me "so that's what it takes for me to get a team"? I s
I agree with Scott. At Age 67, if I'm still able to go approx 48 straight, ANYBODY can do it. Simply stated, "you snooze, you lose" Jim Neiger N6TJ _______________________________________________ CQ-
Thanks to Dennis for re-kindling some very fond memories. I had met Don Wallace in the mid-60's at the Visalia (then it was Fresno) DX Convention , but since I lived in Northern California and he in
I concur with Mal. For 17 years, my faithful TS-950D has resided on Ascension Island. More than its share of contest No. 1's and world records. Simply a very outstanding and reliable radio. THEN I to
Thoughtful words, John. I try to consume enough Gatorade during the contests to ensure I'm taking plenty of pee breaks. Also, for SSB, usually I parallel footswitches and make sure I can alternate be
Ah, modern history. Why doesn't anyone talk about ancient history, like SS 1950's/60's when calls that came to mind were W9IOP, W3BES, W3GRF, W4KFC, W7TML? I think my first was maybe 1956 or 57, and
