You had a reasonable post going until that bit, considering that almost everyone we're talking about and almost everyone here on this forum is pretty far removed age wise from any recent generation c

These digital modes, with appropriate tweaks to allow non-trivial information, can be very useful for communicating. But for sport? Not unless your sport is robotics. Imagine a similar takeover by ma
Sterling, Your argument would carry a lot more water if you had the skill to copy FT4 in your head. Bob K5WA Message: 6 Date: Thu, 2 May 2019 20:01:53 -0500 From: Sterling Mann <kawfey@gmail.com <mai
....aaaand then they figured that it is crazy to let the people on foot compete in Marathon against creative people on the animals, bikes, cars, planes, trains in the same category. So they created
I have done both FT4 and RTTY contesting. Let me compare them. RTTY Using a heavy-duty 1500 watt amplifier, I call CQ CONTEST. A station comes back, automatically goes into N1MM's GRAB box, and I hit
Bob, That is true, but I think it's irrelevant. If our human brains could copy FT4 (and RTTY for that matter), it'd be an apples to apples comparison to CW and phone. But we cannot. It is apples to o

Nah. Ski Jumping by MS XBox or Nintendo Wii is so much better than any real life motorized and dangerous equipment. 73, Jukka OH6LI pe 3. toukok. 2019 klo 21.53 K5WA (k5wa@comcast.net) kirjoitti: ___
From what I gather nobodys saying put FT4 in the biggest contests which are CQWW CW or SSB or even CQWW RTTY. Maybe in RTTY roundup and field day (which is not a contest). RTTY roundup has always wel
There are Cw contesters who use cw decoders and many CW contesters use computer generated CW. Its simply not as good as a human ear yet but its there already. Ria N2RJ _______________________________

GA ria I would like to comment on And things like state QSO parties which are done for fun and not for serious competition (mostly). Manny state Qso parties have serious competition example:
When I was active in RTTY, I could copy my callsign, a CQ, and a 599 in Baudot. Maybe it's because I can copy CW faster than Baudot? I recall working one DXpedition on RTTY who selectively daded as
Robert brings a very good point.. I happen to know that there will be a ssb station in WY at least one... likely more, and there will be a cw station.. and I know that at least two of these stations
Thats interesting, Barry. So in CQWW (is that a major?) you can use a local skimmer to decode CW, but you cant use a local decoder to decode CW? Did I get that right? 73, de Hans, KØHB "Just a boy an
That's the point I tried to make a bit ago in a slightly different context: Should the running station delay the ID until the pile-up thins out, thereby rewarding the operators who stuck around the l
la 4. toukok. 2019 klo 4.03 Barry : Yeap. For CQ WW CW, some years back, even multi channel readers were allowed for the un-assisted. Then only single channel readers were allowed. Now no code reader
It depends on your definition of "major": CW decoders are prohibited in CQWW contests for single ops; ARRL contests only forbid "multichannel decoders", so single-frequency decoders are OK there even
