I would like to meet up with some of the VHF contesters at Dayton. Is there any dinner or meeting? If not, how about a table or two at the Contest Dinner on Saturday Evening? Chuck W5PR _____________
Seems to me that giving your grid in a self spot might be viewed as "facilitating" the contact. Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@con
On second thought, after speaking with others, the consensus is it is probably ok under the rules to broadcast your grid square as long as you are not "facilitating" a specific contact. In these days
I think many put "/R" after a rover call when logging it in a contest. I have never done that. If the grid changes, Writelog takes it. Is there any necessity or rule about this? Chuck W5PR __________
I don't see where this says I have to log it. If you logged what they send on SSB, it would be "/Rover" I wish there were some clarification in the rules. I hate for all of the rovers to be in Russia
Ok, the ability to submit two logs convinced me of a purpose for logging the "/R". Thanks for pointing this out James. Chuck W5PR Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ V
A lot of opinions, but no clarification in the rules. Yes, rovers have to sign "/R" so everyone will know they are not dupes, but nothing says they have to be logged as "/R" The only remote use would
AND, this rule seems to indicate you don't need the "/R" as long as it is from a different grid. *7.2. *Stations may be worked for credit only once per band from any given grid square, regardless of

The new spotting rules turned out great. It was far less boring having packet during slow periods. (Although I admit I dozed off about a hundred times on Sunday!) I was afraid the spotting network wo

Did you buy the antenna kit? Or just follow the directions with local materials? Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com htt
The answer is: It depends. In a perfect world, no power would be transferred. The number I see most often for the real world is 20db. Chuck W5PR Sent from Mail for Windows 10 Undoubtedly, that makes
Hi Marshall, Couldn't you do that with a HF data link? Maybe on 40m. Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.co
Were not talking about 20 meters here Chuck W5PR Sent from Mail for Windows 10 So, reading between the lines here, it's no longer enough that people hearing the DX/rare grid/whatever post to a cluste
I'm not exactly a newbie at contesting. LOL I'm a Flex newbie. I can't get the audio from the computer with Writelog connected to the computer with the Flex 6700. Thanks! Chuck W5PR _________________

You were in for STX much of the weekend on 6m. It was exciting each time I tuned across you! Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contes
If the dinner does not pan out, lets still get together and go "dutch." Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists
