Slow is what I get most of the time and I never turn down a weak signal . Some time I have to do some serious digging and QRS on my part. When a guy is just too low to copy I sometimes tell them plea
Tim I can assure you that had I received that nr, the sending station would have at least 2 attempts to send it the Long Slow way. That way he gets ample opournity to gain some time. Ha ha Rex K7QQ T
The proposal is STUPID Nr 1 I might change my mind at the last instant as to class I operate. This last WPX I had planned to do SOLP single band, After a few minutes of the excellent band condx I dec
Marty My comments were mostly tongue in cheek, however I still think its dumb to require any operator/station to declare pre contest what category they will be entering. I'm subject to change to ALL
I have a big question, HOW do I set up to self spot? I call CQ and with a skimmer on every corner I am spotted as to the freq I'm CQing on . SO how do I change this skimmer output to self spotting? M
The trick to contest MATH on the Clock is that the Contest clock doesn't have a second hand. Rex K7QQ Thanks Ward, for the education in New Math. DUMB LID me (self assigned but accurate). I assumed t
Hans Of course they have to game (rubber) the clock for a few seconds on each end or they lose the 60 min . Or they could just sit for that extra 15 sec then the time will come out correct. Quack "Ga
I was on 3735 with a 6L6 final and the RX was some old military junk that I could tune the total 80 novice band with just the BFO. Rex K7QQ I remember when I was a Novice CW only and xtal only contro
Jim A book as you describe already exist, its called HELP File but no one wants to RTFM, Me included. Have Fun Rex K7QQ I am a bit surprised that no one has come up with a utility to output the setup
Tom Why not just take it up to 200W to balance out the 3db loss in your coax ?? Quack My radio is old and the output has dropped. If I chose to would it be legal (ethical) to use an amplifier to get
IF you don't send those contacts from another band , the guy that you worked will have a NIL , VI. AWARDS: A single-band log will be eligible for a single-band award only. A log containing more than
I would like to get back to the OLD Classic but I got rid of my SCR-522 2 meter rig. Maybe its still in my junk shed !!!! Quack --Original Message-- From: CQ-Contest [mailto:cq-contest-bounces@contes

I'm inclined to agree about not being a NIL especially if they show in other logs, however a contact that is a unique would be highly suspect. Rex Are you sure about that? Lots of QSOs, I think in th
HOW ??? Do I know that VE4EA has used all his allowed operating time ? Rex I vaguely recall a mention here of one aspect of KH6IJ's (SK) gentlemanliness: He would keep on going in SS after he ran out
DALE DALE QRX, I want to set up a sked for the first 2 minutes on 40M as I don't want to miss WY for a sweep, and I will make sure if there is some QRM that I don't run the AMP over 99.9W (ha ha) Goo
I can think (dangerous) of 2 ways that this doesn't mean anything. 1. I can't add and when I took 30 min actually turned out to be 29 , maybe 2 times I could easily violate the 24 hr rule . 2. I have
My un-called for .02 I don't know how many amateur stations you will find in many of the African , or smaller Asian countries. In Wyo. There are several but in an operating event such as SSCW you won
