Any Multi-Op stations looking for a part time operator within a couple of hours of Austin, TX? Have Pro Set, will travel! Thanks and 73, -- Tad Danley, K3TD __________________________________________
I like the idea because it is easy to attract folks who may not have experience contesting. For most parts of the country, 6 and 2 meters will provide the best chance for 'random' QSOs even with mode
Wow, I had the same idea. Nirvana if there is E-skip; lots of time to catch up on your reading if there is none at this point in the solar cycle! We could also add 160 meters ... 73, -- Tad Danley, K
Hi Jim, welcome to VHF contesting! Sounds like you had a blast and are now hooked for sure! Hope to work you next time. Good luck and 73, -- Tad Danley, K3TD EM10dq __________________________________
y w Good luck Mike! I was on 6 in the Pittsburgh area a few years too soon - my Ameco TX-62 on 50.4 AM did a number on channel 2 viewers in Washington, PA 35 years ago! I wish I could be there to hel
I will be on from home part time during the contest. 100 watts on 6 and 2, 50 watts on 432 SSB and CW Par Omniangles for 6 (20'), 2 (16') and 432 (12') 73 and great propagation all! -- Tad Danley, K3
Was out of pocket most of Saturday afternoon and evening, but still had fun! I am antenna challenged due to deed restrictions, so have been thinking about either a portable or rover operation someday
Hi Kevin, for both HF and VHF/UHF I use N1MM for contesting and DXLab Suite for general logging, award tracking etc. It is just a couple of mouse clicks to import contest logs into DXLab from N1MM, a
On the cq-contest reflector there is an ongoing discussion about contest categories, participation and competition. It seems to have been discussed for as long as I have been contesting, and Hans, K0

I have 50.300 and 52.525, are there any others in common use? Thanks and 73, -- Tad Danley, K3TD EM10dq _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contes
Sorry, I should have added I am looking for FM simplex frequencies on 6 for possible use during band opening and contests. Thanks and 73, -- Tad Danley, K3TD EM10dq __________________________________
Looks like we may see it before the end of 2009! Is it time to get everyone thinking about uploading their logs to LotW? 73, -- Tad Danley, K3TD EM10dq _______________________________________________
Indeed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cOfAixTWDI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T4tq6r3h5Q&feature=channel Even though these are not VHF related, I have used these clips to help entice two friends
Great video Duffey, especially in HD! I picked up a TS-2000 recently and have been considering some roving and/or portable operation since I could do 50 - 432 MHz with one rig and one transverter. I
Kevin, congratulations on the excellent article on VHF contesting trends in QST! I enjoyed the historical commentary and your data analysis of the log entries by contest and year. Do you think the re
I'm in full agreement with you Bill. HF+6 rigs create potential VHF weak signal ops and contest participants. Also I like the idea of allowing single band entries for June contest. I think this is a
At the last ARRL BOD meeting the decision was made to move forward with adding VUCC to LotW later this year. Has anyone heard when that might be? Thanks and 73, -- Tad Danley, K3TD EM10dq ___________
