I would like to set up a beacon on 6m from DN55. There are so many beacons now I was looking for some guidance on choosing a frequency. Mike W0MU _______________________________________________ VHFco

Look for NA7XX from DN55fq over the weekend. Ops will include W0MU and my Son KD0ASY. 6m for sure. 2m if the rain will stop to allow the installation of a 2m beam on the tower. Mike W0MU W0ZQ/R will

VE6JW. Every contact was a struggle. It was not like year. Too bad the contest wasn't a couple of weeks ago. I heard nothing on 2m either. I did get lots of yard work done. Mike W0MU @ NA7XX --Origi
My son and I will be operating NA7XX from DN55 in Montana. We will concentrate on 6m. Hopefully it will be better than last year! We do have a 2m beam at about 60ft and will tune that band as well bu
It gets people on the bands is what it does! Isn't that a good thing? Who cares who paid for it. When did that become contesting criteria? I can rent a superstation in Aruba, Jamaica, Costa Rica etc
That is not true. Stew Perry is unique as you get more points for working low power stations but power is not part of the exchange. The final score is determined after the logs are sent in. Paper log
There used to be a Contest Advisory Committee (CAC) I have not heard from them in a long time so maybe it was disbanded. Mike W0MU "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue y
Lots of people will be trying to get in line for the DX. Dog Xrays, you know the the brats.. Hopefully this years lunch wasn't packed last year. "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip o
A contest exchange can be anything you want it to be. The NA Sprints require that both callsigns be sent, others require a name, grid square, favorite color, power. Sweepstakes requires a very length
I agree with Ken's email. Why should there be any difference between a VHF and HF contests general rules? Using means other than the radio diminishes a contact in my eyes. While packet alerts you to
While a great thought in theory it never works that way when you have new people entering the contest trying to give you points. So what if they give the information in the wrong order. It is our job
If the rules say you will send a signal report and the grid square you best do so. It station x only sends the grid. Turn them in with a recording. They should be disqualified. It they do not or will
I guess many of us have a different definition of contesting. Is it hunting if the game you looking for has previously been caught and tied to a tree waiting for you to find it? I think not. Schedule
Would asking people on 20m to move to 2m be ok? If you were single band 6m would it be ok to move people from other bands you are not competing on to the band you are competing on? I would agree if y
I guess whining now equates to bringing up scenarios that should make people go hmmmm. I guess you like the easy button... I have seen more reasons why people can't do it right than I care too. Maybe
Agreed. My views on how to do this are different than others. It is unfortunate the more people do not get on for the VHF contests. Is this more of a marketing issue than a not enough people issue? A
