Surely what matters in this discussion is where the "continental divide" is between Europe and Asia? European stations are presumably Z16, Asian Z17. Art RX9TX has pointed out that the UA9S and UA9T

That's why working S&P in a 40M SSB contest is such fun. 1.5KW and a Yagi will take care of your transmit frequency, and the lids have no idea where to jam. John, NT5C.
Not to mention the fact that ARRL's very own W1AW transmits its regular code practice around 7047, THE prime SSB DX frequency, five days every week! John, NT5C.
Interesting. The letter in my NT5C callsign which needs the most repeats (or alternate phonetics) is T Tango. Most common error is to hear it as Echo. Also consider the number of syllables in each st
Dave, The location of all Russian stations (so far as I know) is defined by the numeral plus the first letter of the suffix. 0C is Khabarovsk oblast, Z19. Full details at http://ve9dx.weblink.nbtel.n
What's the big deal? EO6F loses ALL possible USA mults and QSOs. We lose just 1 mult and 1 QSO per band. If his principles require him to do that, so be it. Like most of us I try to keep politics out
As an active DXer but non-contester, I pay (via my local club dues, and by supplementary assessments when necessary) to support the cluster system. Why should you solve contest ethics problems by sh
Award certificate for 2nd place NA SO SSB came just a couple of days ago. Was a surprise - wasn't aware of the formal competition. Wonder who was 1st NA SSB? John, NT5C.
Dick, As you suspected, you're not the only person thinking about how best to use the 40M changes that will occur six years from now. (I'm sure certain people at ARRL, such as K1ZZ are too, hi!). Her
The big gun M/Ms certainly have the right to hog down to the band edge. But what about hogging BEYOND the band edge? All weekend in CQWW, a certain well-known M/M was camped on 21200.5, and was of co
It's ridiculous. The Crowne Plaza was sold out within the first HOUR! Where did all the rooms go this year? Was someone booking blocks? John, NT5C. -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://lists.contesting.com/_
Keith, I recently bought an FT1000MP for SSB use. There are lots of things I like about it, but it's not perfect. The flexibility is outstanding - so many extra features, most of which can be program

In theory, a 4-square is sort of equivalent to a vertically polarized 3-el Yagi. The two corner verticals driven in parallel are a "distributed" driven element. The other two verticals are a director
