Pete's suggestions make sense, however I don't think they address the problem the PVRC had in last year's SS. Changing the size of the circle doesn't affect the basic problem that no club can know wh
Joe, Look at http://www.w0aa.org/about_map.htm. The MWA did a lot of tweaking in an attempt to include as many people as possible but we're still missing out on a lot of Northern part of the state.
Howdy, How about this idea: As an ARRL member I choose to receive NCJ instead of QST. 99 % of the content of QST is of no interest to me. On the other hand, 99% of NCJ is of great interest to me. Why
I've heard the argument that the ARRL feels there is important information that they have to get out to the members, and they have to do that through QST. Therefore getting NCJ instead of QST isn't a
Hi Dennis, Turn the transceiver off, then press and hold the SUB and ENT keys at the lower corners of the keypad and then press the power switch. This should reset the micros and clear the memories.
Oh I don't know. The last couple of years Zone 14 hasn't been exactly easy either. I'm looking forward to sunspots. 73 Steve K0SR _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing li

Having used Quads for the last several decades I have to admit that I'm enjoying the direction this thread has taken. Sometime I feel like the last guy on Earth using a Quad..... Regarding element di
There are a lot of big Quads in Finland. OH6OS has STACKED Quads: http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~h78848/9.3.02%20oh6os.htm My current Quad has been up at 55 feet since April 2000....in Minnesota.....and has
Today was an especially sad day for the MWA. KT0R was a pillar in our club. Dave was an exceptional operator as many of you know. He also generously opened his home and shack to many M/S and M/2 oper
The folks behind the Minnesota QSO Party put in a lot of effort and based on the results of the last few years they've done a very good job. Minnesota contesters look at the MNQP as one of the very
That's the most depressing thing I've seen in a long time. 73 Steve K0SR _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/
We do, we do! 15 has been pretty quiet up here for a long time now. So send us some sunspots. Oh, and we need a couple of football coaches too. It's going to be a long winter.... 73 SR _____________
I also have been using a Kent Iambic paddle for the last several years. Very solidly built and it holds adjustments well. Nothing fancy but a solid servicable unit. For my taste it sits too close to
I really don't care where it goes as long as it moves out of the way, maybe over the South Atlantic. The last 40 years have been a little tough :) 73 Steve K0SR ______________________________________
I think Randy's comments are right on the mark. I'd also like to add that the second radio isn't very useful unless you have another open band to use it on. That may not make sense to guys in the Sou
Due to work and family commitments I wasn't able to put in much of an effort into the ARRL 160 contest this year. But like Dick I was intrigued by a Windows version of TR. The version of TR4W I have
If you think it's bad, try it up here at 45N and 1500 miles from the nearest ocean. I've never heard 10 meters sound this bad. Ever! And is below zero outside, the lakes are frozen over, so all I can
Exactly! How would you prove you WEREN'T using packet? If we knew what the log checkers were looking for then we could avoid that behavior, but then the cheaters would know too. The whole deal kind o
The thing that concerns me is that there may be ways to innocently operate a contest and appear to be using packet. I have my doubts that someone can write software to look at a log and tell if I was
