So we get rid of a valuable tool because people use it to cheat? How about stopping those that are using it improperly? I have turned off announcement from the rest of the world on my cluster because
I have not kept up with the entire thread but I would hope that a competitor would only be allowed to use one remote station. Maybe this would be deserving of it's own classification. I would not car
I have a unit that keeps failing on 20 meters. Not sure why. I also noticed that my FT-2000 will not put out the same amount of power while the 419 is in the line with a 1:1 swr. Anyone else seen thi
I have had an opportunity to play with one of these boxes and they work very well *IF* you can get a sense antenna that hears the same noise that you have. It should only be as long as needed to pick
Remoting the control head, which is very cool, should not be the determining factor. What does the control head do? Makes changes to the radio. I have hooked up the 480 via IP with a computer interfa

I noticed in the WPX CW test that a fair number of stations were way off my xmit frequency. This is the first time I recall making a mental note of this occurring in a contest. I had my skirts set at
I have made some changes to the W0MU packet cluster. Currently the AR-Cluster is down. I have brought up a new CC Cluster at w0mu.net:7373 The node is W0MU-1. I hope to fix the AR-Cluster tomorrow. S
Wow, Someone would have to show me a correlation between no code licenses ruining the hobby and "those" people causing the problem. I don't think no code licensees have anything to do with the mess o
If all goes as planned look for W0MU or NA7XX in Montana. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinf
Have you called the folks at Alpha Power? You might be able to change around the taps. I bet they can help you. I took my 99 in the week before the RTTY contest and they turned it around in 2 days! T
I agree that is a good book. Also Array Solutions have some harmonic filters that would be useful. I have one on 40m and it really helps. I also am slowly moving to the NQN (?) bandpass filters and g
