But like in that video, someone can you please exactly explain to me what is happening? Pretty mind-blowing, eh? For starters, SO2R is not ... two receivers, but rather two radios, and in this case t
I have to agree with Bob here, Glenn. The rule that Steve mentioned is only *off* the table because there doesn't appear to be any substantial movement to have it *on* the table. He was just looking
Another vote for the clipper switch! http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1810 Judging by the photo, are they wireless? That could be a plus :-) Seriously, I did not know there was a footswitch actual
Well, too, it's a question of art vs. science or technology vs. romance. The thing to understand perhaps is that there is not just one size that fits all. There must be some contest this weekend. I g
When a "Sunday driver" guy calls me in the contest from DJ and sends me 5901 instead of 5914, that clearly is wrong. You're saying that I should log it as 5901 and not make the correction? I suppose
Agreed, I am having more fun contesting now than ever. 73 - Mark N5OT You have made other statements about the demise of contesting. It's not happening. For example, 2900 QSO's from New Mexico in ARR
Hi Frank, My guess is Nature's review board is across a broader range of disciplines than NOAA/NASA. 73 - Mark N5OT Can you imagine the lively discussions among the sixty solar cycle experts at the N
Hey Pete, I did 111 QSOs with a 40 meter vertical and one radio. I was running 1000 watts output. The last 25 QSOs were on 20 meters where I had to use a tuner in the shack to make the 40 meter ver
And we think the guys who write the logging programs have it tough. Ha. Contesting has come a long way, but the fact remains we are still supposed to log what we hear and not what any device is sugg

Oops. I was hoping to pull the plug on this flubbed announcement before it went out. I forgot to put in the dates. Oops. These WWROF webinars are NOT 2-3 days from now, they are the following week

At PJ2T we built them for phone and we add length to make them work on CW. In that installation we have ceramic knife switches installed as insulators that we just go out in the yard and change over
As one of the organizers I am getting pretty pumped about this upcoming webinar. This is a big deal, to move all this digital mode stuff into the ranks of the CQWW contests. Really pleased, also, t
Check slides 19 and 20 of Ed's presentation over on the WW-Digi wb site, for a great visual representation of why this is a bad idea and how it's easy to detect rule violations: https://ww-digi.com/W
Greetings, I need to apologize to everyone on behalf of the WWROF, we have not been able to get a video of the hugely successful WW-Digi webinar embedded into our website like we had hoped to. It sho

With all due respect, didn't this "contest coverage in QST" ship sail about 25 years ago? ARRL has been cutting back contest coverage in QST page by page for more than two decades. I'm thinking ...
It's a good question, Ed. Thanks. Given our League, I think all of us will be well served if we face forward and embrace the fundamental shift in the way we as a society consume written periodical
Which of course reduces the amount of time it takes for a normal FT QSO that includes the signal report, by one third. Which is what contesting is all about after all. The dichotomy is that one of t
