Earlier I attempted to make a posting on this subject, KA1LMR, and the moderator, rightfully, killed it. I can be a little over-bearing at times. But I did copy KA1LMR and received a reply. Here is j
I feel as if I just entered the twi-lite zone. The first time this question was asked somewhere around 1986 by Jim, W6YA. The answer then is the same as it is today. It is perfectly legal but it lead
I hate to disagree with Jim AD1C but using CT in the NEQP contest mode is at best a 'kluge'. It doesn't score correctly and the section map doesn't work for non-W7's. HOWEVER, as a W7 I will be using
W7 stations are not required to log the county name because there are no extra points for W7's to work W7 counties. W7's only get State credit. I came up with the workaround in CT for the die-hard CT
QST somehow got it wrong.. The rules have clearly said all along 599 + State or 7th District state&county. 73 MAL N7MAL BULLHEAD CITY, AZ http://www.ctaz.com/~suzyq/N7mal.htm http://geocities.com/n7m
Well Quack the contest is over, did you get more than 3 or 4 Q's? (I ask tongue in cheek) From the Northwest corner of Arizona, AZMHV, the contest was a success. It can only get bigger-n-better in th
I just checked LOTW and I have received 39 LOTW QSL's from the 7QP contest. It looks like LOTW is really beginning to take off. If WY & ND would QSL via LOTW I could have WAS CW to go with my DXCC CW
I am sitting in front of a MKV and it does not have true dual receive. It has in-band dual receive, i.e. if I'm on 40m I can tune around 40m with the sub receiver but no other band. Also the sub rece
The problem here is a very simple one to understand, especially if you can ever sit down one on one with folks at the ARRL, (who are willing to talk). QST no longer represents our interests, especial
What are the numbers Jim? The ARRL claims, on their website, 152,000 members. How many members on this list? How many members at contesting.com ? I participate in every 'major' contest and I don't se
12 years ago, when I moved here in Arizona, I changed my call. I'm from the old school, IMHO the right school, that says when you move to a new callsign district you get a call for that district. The
Here's is the rule: C. In cases of portable operation in another country or call area, the portable designator would then become the prefix. Example: WN5N/7 would count as W7, J6/WN5N would count as
HUH..??.. I'm confused.. I'm sitting in front of a MKV and in the upper right hand corner are 3 little push button switches used to select filters. I'm only a CW contester and have no SSB filters but
I could not agree more. I have even placed a direct link to LOTW on my web page. Now if I could just get someone in North Dakota to upload their contest logs I would have CW WAS via LOTW to go along
If you go to my web page there is audio recorded on 75 meter SSB. The most likely places, for us out west, is 75/80m and the low end of 40 in the early morning hours. 10-14Z. The signals are usually
Art you said: ""From my Observation #1, I suggest that Class D stations should also not be allowed to solicit contacts ("call CQ", in the vernacular). "" Why..??.. I worked over 500 non-'D' stations
I think the attraction of Field is there is something for everyone. Invitation only clubs are fine but so are wide open clubs. I saw an invitation from a club where smoking, drinking, drugs, etc were
Mike K9MI said: ""2 with rig control, you don't accidentally log on the wrong band"" In this station(n7mal) that is the upper most reason for rig control and the only reason I use rig control during
There is also a vertically polarized 2 meter yagi between the 2 low band yagis. Also there appears to be vegetation growing on the tower. MAL N7MAL BULLHEAD CITY, AZ http://www.ctaz.com/~suzyq/N7mal.
Let me play 'out-house' lawyer...(T.I.C.) 1. What are the min/max on/off times..??.. 2. A 30 or 31 day month..??.. 3. Must it be a continuous month or can months overlap..??.. 4. Do LOTW QSLs count..
