I began to ponder the psyche of these operators and I, with some amazement, realized that (at least as far as said article goes) there was no mention of "two radio" operating. I'm quite sure that the

It was used before computers. You still don't need two radios to win SSB SS. Nope - in fact I think it is still eaiser to check for dupes on a paper dupe sheet than it is with a computer. Good topic

On CW in the early 1960's they were major competition. Dave W5WZQ (W5UN now) was often the high scorer. On phone (AM even at times) K6EVR and I (K5MDX then)fought it out for several years. There were

By the time you get two 75A4's, two HT-32B's, and a couple of 1960 - style KW's on the desk, you'd be lucky if it didn't collapse! Not many folks could afford two rigs back then. Even if you could af

These are just my two cents: Probably (1) or (2). If no one was using two radios, then no one would need two radios, as they were on an even playing field with all the competition in at least this r

Hi all The thing that I remember about the sweepstakes contests when I lived in Canada in the early 50's was that most stations were separate TX and RX with a push button on the TX for VFO spotting.

I am 100% convinced manual logging is faster (more contacts) than computer logging. You have to have the right system. It is also more tiring. Been there, done that. Been contesting 40 years. Ex: W4B
