Don't forget that the NIL works both ways. If I log a contact that didn't get my exchange but I thought he did, then I get the NIL. So if I'm going for a score I also remove any contact that I didn't
I need to move my log and config files from one computer to another but I can't find where they are! Does anyone know how to do this? (I can't get this machine connected to the rig but I do have an X
I have never been asked to QSY while I was running stations. But as a QRPer (most of the time), I don't spend much time holding a frequency! But when I'm in S&P mode I have often been asked to QSY an
I think a simple "xxxxx MHz?" is fine. My reply would be something like "R", or "NO ANT" or etc. I don't see anything demanding by such a question. OK, back in my hole, Ron, KU7Y SOWP 5545M Arizona O
I understand what you are trying to do and salute you for that. However, I don't think it's as easy as it might at first seem. Some things have already been mentioned, like location, near field, far
As a QRP station most of the time I don't use the RBN. Ditto for the other spots. After the pileup starts I go someplace else during a contest. But today I used it! I was using the QRP ARCI club call
snr, but I'm confused as to what the numbers are telling me! Low numbers = low sig? Or is it Low numbers = loud sig? Thanks, OK, back in my hole, Ron, KU7Y SOWP 5545M Arizona Outlaws Contest Club Bre
Why not just have a Remote class? Wouldn't the scores tend to answer the question of advantage/disadvantage? This all reminds me of what was heard whenever something new came along..... keyers, keyer
Ah, the 60's/70's.... well I remember the little things.... Using the bug with my right hand while duping/logging with my left hand..... the rubber pad I taped to my right elbow to keep from rubbing
operation! And no one in their right mind would want to use remote control for that operation! OK, back in my hole, Ron, KU7Y SOWP 5545M Arizona Outlaws Contest Club Brenda, AZ (Winter) Caldwell, ID
Hi All, If there is a better place to ask this please let me know. I have an MP and was given a good RIGblaster Pro. I'd like to start doing some digi modes. Would this be a good way to go or is it o
I think the real problem with enforcement is being able to have proof that would stand up to a legal challenge. Years ago I was an ARRL OO. They used to put the calls of people who got some number of
A question came up on another reflector..... Is there any logging program that uploads QSO's to LoTW and EQsl in "real time"? Someone saw conformations from a station they worked just minutes after h
Wheeeeeee, it's over! Log has been sent and info to 3830. Now to work on getting it to LoTW. How anyone can understand what people are saying half the time beats me! But I did learn a lot and had fun
What is a good, inexpensive headset? I don't do enough SSB to warrant spending the money to buy a good Heil. The old Telex that I have has too many problems.... too heavy, hurts the ears after wearin
Hi Art, Now that's my idea of inexpensive! I already have a comfortable set of phones and a Heil element that I put in that Telex headset.... HC4 if I remember right. And I have the mic plug that I p
Here is a summary of the ideas I got in response to my question about inexpensive headsets w/mic's. People like and use the following: Yamaha CM-500 10 Heil 3 Home Brew 1 Genius (from eBay) 1 RS cord
I think the addition of a "short time" class would both preserve the 48 hour chase that so many like, while at the same time giving those who, for whatever reason, can not put in that much time a cha
Wasn't it the Sprints where they always listed all those who had "Golden" logs? (Golden logs were those without any errors). OK, back in my hole, Ron, KU7Y SOWP 5545M Arizona Outlaws Contest Club Bre
I like the having the call in the exchange. Here's why.... I used spots for the first time and I did all S&P. Watched the spots for new sections while tuning the radio by hand. When you hear someone
