If I have a good run going please don't think me rude if I don't QSY. I'm not smart enough, fast enough, nor automated enough to do it smoothly plus, I don't like losing my run frequency. If I call y
I've worked 26 countries from Montana running 50 watts with the main antenna being the backside of my 5 element 20m HyGain yagi. Actually it seems to be best at about 160 degrees from the direction i
Wow, It's been thirty years! I just looked back in my first log book and I had listed all the SS QSOs I made in 1976. There were 125 of them, most all on 15 meters in the novice band! I was still a n
I am deeply saddened to hear of Russ's passing. I first met him while I was living in Denver in the early/mid 1980s. He was very personable and had a great sense of humor. I hadn't heard him on for y
I ran across Ja on 20m CW this morning and he asked me to pass along to the SS crowd that his 3-500Z in his amp went dark very recently so he is not going to be operating high power this year. He sai
Apologies to Aerosmith (not that they deserve it, the words to this song should have been rewritten long ago. -- I'm back! I'm back at the paddle again I'm back! I'm back at the paddle again searchin
Here is a paste from K7BG logs for the last 5 years using "Cabrillo Statistics" (Version 06f) by K5KA. It shows the increase in 'U' precedence logs over the last 5 years. It looks like these 'U' ops
Agreed, but let's really get serious about this if we're gonna get serious about this. There should be a short delay in any real time gatherings on the real 3830 until 15 minutes after the contest is
Doug researched: -- PART I. WHY DO YOU USE ASSISTANCE IF STATS SHOW IT USUALLY RESULTS IN A LOWER SCORE THAN UNASSISTED? 1. It is easier to win my category 2. It is easier to place in the top ten 3.
As a contester, I feel it is important to pause every so often and give thanks that we have an ionosphere and its attendant planet. After all, without the planet under the ionosphere, where would we
I think another thing that might help this effort is for some additions and updates to the 3830 drop-down lists. We have been typing in our club name for two years now as it does not apprear on the d
I'm all for it. Those were the two I missed. Where do I send my tax deductable donation? Matt-K7BG _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com ht

listen I have never used an uploaded autofill database, but I *have* dreamt about it. I don't think it's design intent was for added time for eating or puffing. What it allows is the ability to run
Wowzuh, is this ever a sad state of affairs. I have always been afraid that a busted QSO in SS could some day cost me a mult so I am usually extra careful when working rarer sections. Well it hit the
Thanks for all the responses sidebar. I'm pretty sure that what happened was that I was indeed a little squeamish about the 40 meter Q as the band was folding. With that in mind I went ahead and work
I am so sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to his family and all his friends. Many moons ago, my TS930 quit working. I put out a plea for help on the reflector and Tom answered the call. He h
