I don't see any repeaters in Friedrichshafen proper. http://www.cqdmrmap.com/ Closest are DM0KV in Konstanz and DB0RV near Ravensburg which I guess is not that far. They are affiliated with DMR+. Inc
It has been a pretty interesting foray into it for me. I found that it is restrictive in some respects but better than DSTAR and fusion in others. I'm usually on 91 worldwide when I'm at home via my
I had fun! But I made two q's out of band (oops) however they are marked in the log as X-QSO. Easy to forget. Hoping to do the next one! 73/88 Ria, N2RJ ______________________________________________

I like this idea a lot. But if you can keep a log in case of cheating allegations that would help to, to be revealed only AFTER the contest is over. 73 Ria, N2RJ _____________________________________

Thanks Bart. A discussion that was had here on this reflector some months ago seems to have been clarified: *Remote-Controlled-Station Entries* Acting as the control operator for a remote-controlled
My understanding is that it becomes multi op ONLY If someone assumes control operator duties under the FCC definition, which is: (13) *Control operator.* An amateur operator designated by the license
I think most of you are missing the point in this, in that the rule regarding control operators turning the entry into a multi-op is aimed at foreign ops who operate US stations remotely. If you are
The problem is that if he's using an IC-751 that it doesn't have a CAT facility built in without an external option. This is what is available now: https://www.piexx.com/?main_page=product_info&produ
The easy solution is that any foreign op who wants to operate a US station can take the VE exams and get a US license, as many have done. There are even VE sessions overseas. 73 Ria, N2RJ ___________
How far do you go? Is it okay for the station owner to do things like adjust the antenna switching while the operator continues to make QSOs? How about turning the antenna(s) or dealing with computer
I have 2 neighbors about a 1/4 mile away with the electric fences. No issues whatsoever on any band. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@co
I do not want to compete with the cluster. Period, end of story. I don't care of they score worse or better. There is a different mindset using assisted and unassisted - one of them you are basically
I would second the JK. Made in USA and built like a tank. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/ma
I have had a SteppIR (MonstIR, the big one like what they had at 6Y1V). I do agree that the instant band changes and reliability are a concern. The plastic gears were problematic. Supposedly they've
I have the big one like what they had at 6Y1V. It is not made anymore. It is 70ft across straight elements. Full sized on 40. The DB42 is called the MonstIR but it's not the actual, original MonstIR.
It has 5 elements, a relay switching network and passive fixed elements for 6m. Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://list
I have a good crane and rigging guy. There are others who use a tram or tilt over. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.conte
I get the impression that SteppIR viewed it as going past the point of diminishing returns. They could get almost the performance with much less wind loads using the trombone elements, thus the DB-36
