a My..aren't we all patting ourselves on the back and proclaiming how honest we are ! Is this the promised land ? Hope and change for contesting ? Will those who do not agree be shouted down and run
Happy Holidays to all. Apparently, a security breach of my Yahoo mail account occurred sometime in the last 12 hours and a spam message (in Spanish !) was sent to everyone that was ever placed into m
I had a few requests for M/S skeds in the January contest so I might as well ask if anybody else is interested... I will be available for WSJT 6&2 skeds prior to ~0700Z and after ~1200Z. If intereste
Les, for what it's worth, the Beko 2M PA I bought use a few years ago fired right up when plugged into the exact same outlet as the rest of mu 230V amplifiers and accessories. I simply use a surplus
Sorry this is OFF TOPIC (since it doesn't concern Rover stuff - sheesh), but... Anybody have any idea when the 2008 Spring Sprint results are to be published ? The FALL 2008 results are all ready out
OK you say, we will just ban EME contacts in such a contest. Well that certainly files in the face of a distance measured contest. We want people to work hard to make difficult, long distance contact
I believe ALL QSO'S on bands I have no equipment for should be removed from the contests. I also believe all stations with propagation better then me should be disqualified and anyone who has shown m
I find it interesting to read that two of the people doing their best to fill my inbox with complaints about those darn grid circlers had: A) The winning score in Limited Rover B) The highest west co
It depends on what you mean by "once per contact". As far as I'm concerned, this is sufficient: CQ CONTEST W9RM W9RM K7CW K7CW EN52 QSL CN87 THANKS QRZ W9RM Technically, I have "given my call" during
It can be argued that the FCC only wants ID every 10 minutes as long as you don't change frequency. It's all a matter of speed when the band is open. YOU as the operator need to decide how many time
I probably missed the discussion, but why is there no VHF Dinner at Dayton this year ? Doesn't this break a tradition that goes back decades ? I was at last years dinner and it was fully attended - c
Not much activity or conditions here... 24 Q x 14 M = 336 points (woooo !) Even with punk condx I had several 350 mile Q's. Jay W9RM _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mail
432 was a vast wasteland - even locals were absent. Only worked one other non-Rover station in my own well populated grid. Heard several guys out at 350-400 miles on SSB (EM78/79 area) but couldn't r
Ahhh, but Zack, therein lies the problem. What about all those people you DON'T hear, but could with a bigger, badder antenna. Jim, K9GTJ - on 432, my opinion is to put up the absolutely BIGGEST ante
Or, simply enter the CLASSIC ROVER category. You know, the ORIGINAL rover class, before all the 'level the playing field' BS happened... Is it REALLY that big a deal that you can ONLY make 100 Q's wi
K5UR to KP4 in 1985 is the current North American and World record at 1965 miles - I suspect there was considerable tropo ducting involved with that, as well as some with the K2DRH->N6RMJ QSO. Keep i
I'm looking for well equipped stations in AZ, MT, NV or UT willing to run 2M M/S skeds during the upcoming Leonid shower. It would be best if you were within 1300 miles of EN52rb, but a little furthe
In EN52 this summer and early Autumn, I noticed quite a bit of AM activity. I think it was a organized group, somewhere down to the SE. UNFORTUNATELY, they decided to do it on 144.140 - the WSJT M/S
Does anyone have experience using WSJT to make random contacts in VHF/UHF contacts? That is, calling CQ on a specific frequency without skeds and making contacts? Do you work enough additional contac
Dave, the default WSJT protocol in NA is: WEST IS FIRST Regardless of the length of the sequence. Jay W9RM What just is proper protocol for me calling CQ from fn02nw? top of the minute or bottom of t
