Mike, here is an easy to understand document about coax stubs written by K2TR. It has diagrams as well. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://n
If you have a small station you really don't have much a chance to qualify unless you have a friend who has a large station and allows you to operate. Another possibility is your friend qualifies and
Had anyone else heard about this? http://www.mydaytondailynews.com/news/news/local/alternative-sites-for-hamvention-proposed/nns5c/ I have been secretly hoping for many years it would move. Will 2016
I've been operating from Bonaire in CQWW CW for the past 8 years and I can assure you that propagation can be vastly different from the ABC islands then the northern Caribbean islands, which I have a
I figured this all out about 25 years ago. I've never really have had the desire to build a big contest station at home and if I did I couldn't compete against the East Coast anyway. Nothing against
Agree with Charles. The Orlando Hamfest is up and coming. The FCG has done a great job with the contester activities. The flea market is pretty good too. To be truthful I have scaled back on my Dayto
Agree 100% with Bob. Plus it seems like half the stuff in the flea market is non-ham radio related stuff. It's understandable why DARA would sell these spots to non-hams because they can make more mo
What makes Dan's accomplishment so special is he ran rate when dealing with packet pileups on two different run bands at the same time. If you have ever had a big packet pileup, the stations calling
I feel bad for the guys at PJ2T because this has happened to them before. I was happy for them because I thought they pulled out a victory in MM after trying for years. Plus they are my friends. It's
If you do a spot check on CR3L on the DX Summit you will see they were never spotted on more than two bands at a time during the whole contest weekend. If they were really Mult-Multi wouldn't you thi
Oli, Doesn't it seem odd to you that a team that has won M2X for many years, all of a sudden on the day the logs are due secretly says nothing and submits their log as MM. No one even knew until Mart
Those of you that think this whole thing is OK should look up the words sportsmanship in the dictionary. Contesting is more than just having the highest score. Acting in a respectful manner towards y
Maarten PD2R - Maybe you didn't understand my comment? You are taking my words out of context. I never suggested that CR3L cheated or should be DQ'ed like others have. I only stated what they did by
Why not a change the M/S and M2X categories and the logging programs that support them? Multi-Single - One run station and one multiplier station only. Same QSY rule for multiplier station that exist

Kelly, It's much more than just trying to gain an unfair advantage. Please reread the the first paragraph which contains words like "respect , fairness, ethics and fellowship". But the last one is th

I don't think it's fair for some of you to single me out for my opinion on this subject. There are many who agree with my opinion, but on the other hand there are some that don't. It's also silly tha
Mats, The difference between M2X and MM is very slim. If you look at the PJ2T and CR3L scores, PJ2T has about 700 more QSO's but CR3L had 80 more multipliers. Some people don't realize that stations
Mats, Zone 33 and 35 are nothing like zone 9. I haven't operated from either but the numbers on 15/10 meters I see from stations who operate multi-op from there are as good or better than the 3 big m
