I have an equipment problem that is driving me nuts...This reflector seemed appropriate as another contestor might have experienced the same thing... My station, in part, consists of a FT1000MP, inte
This is an ANNOYING problem...I also had quite a few US stations call me at VE1OP during ARRL DX (Two of whom are well known contestors that are on this reflector)...Some just didn't know the rules,
Well put Dick!! Along with using the T4/R4 pair and post-it notes, delete the amps, stacks and Ethernet cards and really give yourself an operating test...Dx cluster usage is just another technologic
I was asked by no less than 10 European stations to put them on the cluster during ARRL DX SSB...Two that come to mind are well known, high scoring operations...READ THE RULES GUYS!!! I suspect this

Anybody know if there is a website somewhere containing the section/division all time records for the ARRL 10 Metre Contest ? I can find them for SS and DX, but none for the 10 metre contest... Thank
Apparently not much out there...I did get a couple responses... Minnesota Wireless Association has some, mainly geared to their area: http://www.w0aa.org/ Contest Club of Ontario has the Canadian rec
I agree...I have two 17 inch Samsung SyncMaster 171s LCD flat screens and now have lots more space on the desk/shelves and NO noise WHATSOEVER...They even look half decent, black to match the Yaesu..
I agree...Delete the QSO from your log...It wasn't a completed 2 way contact...I ended up doing that several times in NAQP CW, one was with a needed mult...I asked several times for a fill but no rep
I think in a domestic contest such as NAQP, it's more about antennas and operator prowess than it is with power. Some of the signals I heard from the "big guns" with low power last weekend were not a
Helluva idea...It's worth a try...I think this will generate some interest... I'm all for 48 hour contests, but having a 24 hour "class" will spark some competitive interest from those who can't, for
