I'm writing a retrospective article and need some feedback from quite a few stations who will be mentioned in the text. If you are on this list and reading this email, please drop me a note at w4pa@y
Always stop the CQ on #1 to work a station on rig #2. Do not synchronize calling a station with your CQing. The beauty of TR-Log for SO2R CW is how seamless it does this: Call CQ on #1, interrupt wi
If someone logs me -- or someone else -- as W3PA then I should be able to convince a QSL manager to send me a card because I "really did" make the contact? I'm sure I can look through on-line logs f
Remember do not lock your suitcases. Not with TSA locks - it's useless. I may have been casting fate to the wind for the last 20 years, but I never locked luggage until this year. I never had anythin
5 seconds seems like an awful long time to wait for an amp to tune when I can beat that doing it manually, and do it without transmitting through the amp. Flip bandswitch, turn knobs to the presets
This is just a difference in philosophy over station design. I'd never design a contest station for myself as you've described above. Too much stuff for me to worry about, to cable up, to quit, to ma
Distance-based is a great concept, but the true equalizer is the adoption of the CW Sprint QSY rule to a distance-based DX contest. Then no one gets to park themselves on a frequency for hours at a
However, I see no difference between SOA and SO/guest op or an SO with a "pit crew." True single op is single op. Single op with helpers to prepare meals, fix equipment problems, etc., is not single
So - doing antenna work at K4JNY yesterday with Jeff, W4NZ and K0EJ included putting up another low dipole for 75/80m use. As were were tuning it, the question came up: Where is the NAQP SSB contest
OK, maybe a few predictions off the top of my head: 1) Age is going to be more and more of a factor in competitive entries. I'm only 37, but I can tell I'm more weary after putting in an all-weekend
QRZ Region 1 bandplan cops! Chime in and tell the RTTY contesters to keep digital modes above 7035 where they belong. Tell them how their violating the bandplan has ruined the entire weekend for CW o
First -- over And then: One thing K5ZD said to me several years ago that has always stuck in my head to this very weekend: To go 48 straight, you have to want it very badly. I decided around a decade
I hope the WRTC-2010 committee will also consider the manner in which the United States is partitioned. W1-W4 as "Eastern USA" simply doesn't work - I'm directly south of Indianapolis (W9) down here
it has intelligent It's been shared - Peter gave a detailed presentation on it at the antenna forum at Dayton in 1997, if I remember right... And hello to Peter (no-callsign-given-better-known-as-WW
The annual Poisson D'Avril contest is a mere 13 days away. I'm sure K1DG will find a way to incorporate this for us. Scott W4PA Contest Blog - http://w4pa.journalspace.com What Is Radio Contesting? -
Greetings -- Does anyone on here have a VCR VHS tape used for the "Time Machine" on 20 meter CW of an ARRL DX CW or CQ WW CW (or some other major contest, Sweepstakes CW?) that I could make a copy of

Jeff, K4JNY, has taken a new job in California starting almost immediately. The contest station at his QTH in Georgetown, TN that we have spent the last 8 years building and using will either have to
