Hi Warren, It's not necessarily a matter of deliberately "not hearing". While I can usually copy contest stuff at a bit over 30 under good conditions, if I'm very tired I can't. The beginning of SS o
That link didn't work but http://www.rttycontesting.com/dayton03/ does. Click on the WS7I.html link. Netscape 7.1 doesn't work but IE Explorer 6.0 does. 73, Jim VE7FO ________________________________
Gee Rich, I don't recall you laughing when you called me on 20 when I said FO. I confess that there have been a couple of times in CW tests when, in a fit of irritation, I sent a station just the las
A little pistol VE's perspective. No opinion - just a couple of thoughts 60% of my Q's (311 out of 517) were with W's. 230 of them were made in the last 3 hours. I find contesting a lot more fun when
Got 3 more brand newbies coming. Had 4 but one got sick. This will be the first time any of them will have been on the air. They all got their tickets about 3 weeks ago. When there aren't any here I'
Hi Mal, Hmm... I've never played in the SP as my 160m inverted L behaves as if the vertical portion starts at ground level and goes down from there instead of up. However, I do hear signals and thoug

Hmm... I'm am LP op. Here's what I do for 100W LP with my 200W MkV. The menu setting I use for the MkV watt meter bar graph provides some hang time, i.e. the peak reading is held for a little while.
Hmm... I use RITTY with WriteLog. For the first time I tried out having both Tx and Rx AFC on when S&Ping. I had no trouble at all with stations other than the one I wanted capturing the Rx AFC. This
Thanks for the clarification Bill. I wasn't aware of the difference in AFC behaviour between FSK and AFSK. Yes, I'm using AFSK and no one seemed to have trouble copying me when I called so guess I wa
This won't work if the DX isn't aware that someone's covering him up but I've often thought that if he is the problem could be solved in a minute or two by the DX saying, "Listening on xxxxx only" wh
Good for you, Jacob, and welcome to the world of contesting. You'll have a lot of fun if you keep it up. Along the way you'll find that your station and skills will both improve. 73, Jim Smith VE7FO
Hey Zack, this mainstream stuff is all very well but who can in 10 seconds or less (besides me or Hon. Ed.) come up with the first name (or even the last name) of Hashafisti Scratchi's girl friend? H
I'm working on the introduction of my contesting newbies to RTTY and PSK31 and am busily setting up op schedules. I note that in 2002 the Anatolian RTTY was an all-band affair while last year it was
Ha, ha - good questions Art. In looking for digi contests between now and FD so I can provide some op training I ran across the Anatolian RTTY. I pulled out my looseleaf binder of contest rules and d
Dunno why you're surprised, Gerry. After all, Pink Floyd is a band. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailm
Jim, please tell us a little more. Our club has had to scale back our Field Day efforts due to lack of bodies. So we're going to start setup on Sat instead of Fri. One of many casualties flowing from
Barry, I don't know whether or not it will run concurrently with WL but Rec-All Pro does a FB job of recording stuff, complete with VOX, The big news is that it attaches a time code to the recording.
RF in the shack? I have a lot of RF in the shack on 40 and the tuner in my MkV has a devil of a time at the low end of 40 cw. 73, Jim VE7FO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
