Hi Gordon. I was on the MS website and it says you can upgrade your XP machine to the newest version for $199. I guess the solution to anything nowadays is just throw the old one away and buy somethi
REPLY: i think you'll find some pretty strong resistance to that because of the antenna and lot size situation you mentioned. Most stations, even on city lots, can put up decent antennas for 80 meter
73, Ken, AB1J HI Ken I think Bill mentioned 'really competitive' stations. Don't think many of them are too stealthy. Although AC0C used to be pretty dang competitive with his attic setup :-) 73 Tom
HI Don If things get slow, you might try it on a dead band, like 6 or 10 meters. Might be an interesting test. 73 Tom W7WHY I'm going to be operating W1AW/5 next week and will be doing a lot of RTTY.
Hi Joe I think the FCC just don't give a crap any more. I see in QST where they once in a while punish someone for interference, but it is always some repeater somewhere that is being interfered with
Hi Tim I find pretty much the same thing you mention here about AFC. I think it would be a good think if it worked right, but for some reason, I find if I check the 'AFC off/on with CQ' box, it somet

Yes - 1 cr/lf at the start of a new line (like Hank said), but no cr/lf at the end - just 1 or 2 spaces. 73 Tom W7WHY Actually it makes it easier for them to mouse the call. As CR's make it scoot up
Things were a lot more complicated then with strip printers (one ling piece of paper about 1" wide with all the characters printed on it :-) Polar relays, Mainline TU's, 850 shift, and calling CQ RTT
Hi All I recently got a Win7 box and when running RTTY with it, it hangs up when going back to receive. After it sends the macro, it takes 6 - 7 seconds before it will go back to receive. Does the sa
