Hi Tom, I'm sure the crooks have sneaky ways around that problem that you or I wouldn't know about. But it occurs to me that you could simply log into the packet with a fake call sign. 73 Steve K0SR
And while were on the subject.... Why send 5NN instead of 599? This isn't CW. What's with all the CR/LF stuff? I need to see your section before you scroll it off my screen. What's with the LDC's (lo
<html><P>This is a different situation. The signal isn't lost, resulting in random garbage scrolling the screen. The guy can be plenty loud and there's a Mark or a Space there the whole time. He CHOO
Because I was working a guy on the second radio at the time and heard the answer to my CQ in the other ear! Actually the timing works out pretty good in such a circumstance as I was able to interlea
I don't see how my actions would affect your run at all. I call CQ on the run radio and listen for an appropriate amount of time and don't hear an answer. I hear you on the S&P radio calling CQ. Sinc
Isn't the whole point of a 3830 that you can see how everyone did before the official results come out? It would seem contrary to that notion if you ha to wait until the log submission deadline pass
If you get some sleep you aren't "serious" ? Please.... It's 0830Z and you live at 45 degrees North. The sun is up in Europe so that's over with. The MUF fell to 5Mhz right around sunset so everythin
You basically are describing two problems here. One is the proximity of the antennas to each other. With a multiband antenna and only 15 feet of seperation you may be limited to LP operation . The ot

No, I Bill Moore will agree with Wayne. Here's what it says on the form: "Note: Cards may be submitted directly to ARRL or checked by a DXCC Card Checker. If cards are sent direct to ARRL, it is not
Around 1915Z Sunday I suddenly had a flurry of dupes. 10 dupes in the next 14 QSO's was pretty bad, especially when I was sending my call after every QSO. I finally stopped and sent my call slowly ov
Agreed. "Kilo Zero Sugar radio" doesn't work nearly as well as "Kilowatt Zero". I'm more interested in what works well, which sounds like good engineering to me hi hi. At 2/24/2008 09:55 AM, you wrot
On the other hand, I spent quite a bit of time over the last few days on 20 meters working some DX, calling CQ, and just sending my call. As far as I can tell Pete's Skimmer has NEVER ever found me.
"I can't see what difference that would make, anyway. I'm all over the band, and changing bands, when making QSO's on the second radio." Exactly. What operating "signatures" will I need to avoid so I
Skimmer is just part of a decades long trend in contesting: the replacement of human skills with hardware. There used to be a necessarty set of skills that all serious big time contesters had to mast
I think you're going to have a hard time convincing anyone that a piece of hardware in your shack suddenly makes you assisted. The defacto definition of assistance involves information acquired from

"Those in 8-land, 9-land, 0-land, etc. often miss short openings because they don't think a band will open. Skimmer running on a second radio or third receiver will alert the operator when those shor
Different categories have been created in the past in response to technological changes. The idea was that the new technology would have a significant impact on scores. In an attempt to be fair, new
I think the idea here is to ban Skimmer ** in a contest **, not ban it in general. People still use motors on the backs of their boats, they just can't use them in the America's Cup. People use alumi
