Hi Jon, Ah yes... That would have been Dean, WB0TKJ/M NOT /R because this was before there was any such thing as a rover!! So since there were no rovers I guess one could not be called a "captive" on
I would say an "excellent example of an outstanding effort"!! OK, I'm done back to listening,... psssshhhhhhh... bill, K1DY _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list
Hi gang, I'll be on from FN54 a little bit tonight. Probably 7-9PM. Look Northeast!! bill, K1DY _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com
Hi all, I have to chime in here.. Central Maine (FN54jq) would certainly be called a rural area, but then again we ARE on the end of that Eastern seaboard megalopolis.. I operated the 2M sprint from
Hi guys, I am really not aware of ANY of the so called "big guns" operating on the calling frequency.. They may squeeze up to within 5kHz of there, but the reason they are the "big guns" is that they
I agree with Ev that any changes in qso points would meet with a LOT of resistance.. But, speaking of the "physics" of the communication circuit, here's what we notice at K1WHS when we work some of t
Well I remember a few times making contacts when I forgot to hook up ANY ANTENNA at all!!! The guys said I was weak but..... I really think even a SIMPLE antenna for the correct band beats using the
Hi Ed and all, Just so you know, I heard W3SO during the 222 sprint from my rover station up here in FN54io.. Signal was s3-s5 with qsb. I called and called with my 25 watts to no avail - not surpris
Hi gang, I'll be on from FN54 with 25 watts and 15 elements with the "rover station" (but not roving).. So look NE for a "pipsqueak" signal..!!! I'll be there at the start for an hour and at the end
Hi all, I'm not sure I see how banning use of 144.200 in contests would be enforced. Would operating on 144.199 (NOT the calling frequency, right?) be OK or not? If it was OK, then what would be the
I'll be on from FN54jq looking SOUTHWEST (+/-) pretty much all the time.. bill, K1DY Maine _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http
Hi from CENTRAL Maine, 222 Sprinters, I was on pretty steadily for the first hour from FN54 in Maine. After a flurry of activity at the beginning (4 qso's) I ended up doing much calling and just list
Hi John and all, Nice job. One thing, though, I didn't think the scoring was cumulative in that way, so went to the SVHF page and checked the rules. They say we have to submit separate logs for each
Hi all. I have a BRAND NEW TE Systems 2210G, 130 watt 222MHz. linear amplifier. This model requires 5-10 watts drive for 130 watts out and has a GaAs FET preamp. The unit has ONLY been used to verify
222 amp is sold. One more station on for June!! bill, k1dy _________________________________________________________________ More photos, more messages, more storage?get 2GB with Windows Live Hotmail
Dave, Belden 9913 was one of the first low loss "RG8 sized" coaxes to come along. It had the foil/braid outer conductor and a spiral of polyethelene between the outer and inner conductors that made t
Hi gang, Turning the inverter on only wnen rotating solves some of the problem, but not the problem of inverter noise when you are peaking the antenna on a weak signal.. So we still need to hear abou
Went to the Powerstream website and when you click on the PST-S600 it takes you to the 300 watt PST-S300 (or some such number) which is 300 watts, true sinewave and $187 in 1-10 qty... Well that's a
What coax are we talking about here? i.e. how mini is mini? The manufacturer always specifies minimum bending radius, though maybe you don't know the manufacturer.. Aluminum can be tricky and there a
Remember if you get the Pyro Joe amp that it only needs a milliwatt or so of drive, so you can get the DEMI transverter as the "low power" version and save some $$. Of course that means you would hav
