Hmm ... I'll have to check that out. It could be a real problem if I go to a phase-locking scheme for microwave LO's that uses the 1 pps or 10 kHz output from a GPS as a reference. 73, Zack W9SZ ____

As an inverse to this, has anynoe had trouble with a transmitter (particularly 1296) wiping out the GPS unit front end on transmission? Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ VHFco
My first time in this contest. I only worked one station - W9ZIH - from EN62cc on Sunday morning and then from EN50rl on Sunday evening. Both on 10 GHz. My total points for the first weekend were 100
That's right, an e-mail went out stating "poll" but there was no poll questions attached. Some of us humorously responded to it. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ VHFconte

Once upon a time, microwave activity was nil. I can understand that in the distant past if a club had microwave equipment but no one to work up there, it made sense to equip others with such gear and
Well, I kind of did it once. I worked a station at the corner of 4 grid squares in the Microwave Sprint a few months ago. I then moved into another of the grids and we did it again. I then stayed put
When I try to access it from the same IP, it just displays the results page. I cannot get back into the voting page. I suppose I could get into it from another IP. As Mayor Daley used to say, "Vote e
I benieve you also have to move at least 10 miles (or is it km?) before working the same stations again in the 10 GHz contest. Makes Roving a lot more of a challenge. 73, Zack W9SZ __________________

The "playing field" in ham radio is not always equal, sometimes due in a major part to propagation unpredictability. If a huge sporadic-E or tropo opening misses a certain area where someone with the
Wow - looks promising! I won't be able to be active on Saturday but I think I will be on Sunday morning at least, possibly all day. So I hope you can make it on Sunday. I'll definitely have 144 and 4
I seem to recall this question coming up before. It may have had to do with the K0PG/N9ILT family roving team in my area. At any rate, I seem to recall an ARRL contest official making a statement tha
I will be active from a hilltop in EN50rl as a Single-Op Portable (QRP) for most of Sunday if all goes as planned. I will have all bands from 144 MHz through 10 GHz. 50 MHz hasn't been very profitabl
Interesting what different people go through. I didn't have any microwave bands as a "relative newcomer". My first VHF contest was done with a homebrew 144 MHz transverter (5 watts) and 5 element hom

Lately my schedule has ben such that I have a hard time participating in contests if they're not on weekends. I really wanted to get in on the 222 sprint but alas, it wasn't to be. Maybe next time. 7
