Hi all (especially users of assistance: packet/internet/spotting nets/etc). So - I am looking at the SS results summary (thanks Dink) on 3830. I note that (currently) the number 1 slot for SO HP Unli
Maybe you're thinking about it backwards. Maybe the Unlimited ops choose to be unlimited because it places them close to first place instead of after tenth place. For example, my (currently) 7th plac

Paul, Amplifiers , antennas and 2 Radios are still in the territory of amateur Radio, is cluster too? Does the end justify the means? If using a cluster is valid so is calling on the echolink or phon
