This is not a propagation problem. For those relative newcomes amoung us, many of us "old timers" who remember DX contesting in the 70s and 80s can tell stories of (seemingly) never-ending runs of JA

As announced yesterday, the Mad River Radio Club invites all amateurs to join in the Michigan QSO Party this coming weekend, April 21, 2007 from 1600Z to 0400Z Sunday, April 22. The key to maximizing
I would like to remind everyone that "using" cut numbers is not the same thing as "logging" cut numbers. I check the logs for the ARRL 10M contest, where DX stations send RST & serial numbers for the
Dennis, I have yet to see a PCI dual COM port card be able to use both ports to DOS programs such as CT or NA. I suspect that this is an IRQ issue. Most of these cards have a single IRQ shared betwee
Bruce, et al: I am a big fan of the IARU HF Championship, although it seems like I only operate in it occasionally. Over the past few of years we've done multi-ops here at K8CC, and one year not all
Bill, I'm pretty sure the yaesu FT-One back in the early 80s had this same configuration. I had the opportunity to use one of these at the 20M position from N5AU in the 1982 CQWW SSB contest and thou
Steve raises an interesting question. But where would the IARU money come from? Dues from the member organizations? _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@
Paul, I believe that what you propose is the same as multiplier structure for the CQWW RTTY contest... Dave/K8CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@con
N4GG and W6WRT hit the nail on the head. If you turn off everything that is running in the background, and keep the foreground focus (i.e., the cursor) in the window of your logging program, you may

K9TM and I used a GemQuad kit for the 20-15-10 antenna at the little station we've assembled down on St. Croix, and we have been very pleased with it's performance. However, we found through computer
Duncan, Tom, et al: As W8JI makes clear on his web site, the only real improvement in receiving capability on 160M results from DIRECTIVITY. A short loaded vertical will be no better noise discrimina
Paul's problem is that he's blaming the wrong thing. If he loses a mult because of a QSO removal, but the mult is covered by another QSO, I don't see any way that is the fault of the Cabrillo file. I
Jeff, I have to agree with you on this one. I've heard K5ZD say many time that good SO2R is undetectable to others on the band, and its my opinion that this is true for those contesters who are good
All: I find this whole discussion amusing. It is a perfect example of the reason we have UTC, or zulu time, and why we, as radio operators, should use it as our frame of reference. The SS rules do no
I first saw the "LoTW Contest" listed on WA7BNM's Contest Calendar last night, and the first thing which popped into my mind was "Why?" What is the point? Just about anybody can start a contest. In t
Both are OK (I have samples of both) but W3NQN's provide the best performance. The biggest question you have to deal with is how to switch them, and this is predicated on your amplifier and antenna a
I've had three Tailtwisters, a Ham IV, a Ham III, a Ham II and an original Ham-M here at K8CC, and I've never had a brake stick except on the Tailtwisters. All three of my Tailtwisters are 1970s vint
