I recieved this email after NAQP last night: Please don't contest in the DX Window, 3700khz-3800khz. Thanks 73 Bill kb5pkw@aol.com == I had a group of DXers intentionally QRMing me when I was running
I was always under the impression that 3.799 was the DX calling frequency on 75 meters. To tell you the truth I hear people ragchewing between 3790 and the DX calling frequency all the time. Now that
All these SUGGESTED class changes, all these different angles on how to interpret the rules to suit one's self needs /wants... even when WE ALL know what the spirit of the language SUGGESTED meant...

I have been using a loaner AL811H from K4BAI since about last Fall. Unfortunately it's down for some repairs right now. If you use this amp for contesting make sure you use some type of external fan.
I picked up a print version of the paper today. I had expected the article to be in the local section but couldn't find it. I then look at the bottom of the front page and there it is. It continues o
I think these people who claim that contest activity take up all the bands have a "poor" excuse. During a DX contest only 20/15/10 meters are being used during the day and 160/80/40 and maybe 20 mete
