Same from SM2! When it went to 36 hours I stopped operating in the WPX. During the 30 hour format some nice scores could be done from SM2, I made nr 1 EU on 21 MHz and nr 1 EU on 14 MHz back then. Th
IMO the issue isnīt if you can or canīt operate 48 hours. WPX was a special thing with itīs 30 hour format and special strategies was needed, as a bonus it gave some geographical areas a better chanc
Absolutely! It is very clear in the rules what the exchange is. If someone doesnīt follow the rules something should be done. Now one could argue that RS(T) isnīt important or whatever but then rules
Back in the 60īties and early 70īties when I built some Quad antennas I used bamboo for spreaders. Not as good as fiberglas of course but it worked OK. I did protect them with boat varnish, apply a f
I will be in the Larnaca area 22 Sep to 29 Sep. Any ham activity or contest stations in the area? I might bring a HF radio and some wires but havenīt made up my mind yet. 73 Jim SM2EKM ______________
I was sorry to get this news. Bob was an old ham radio friend, we exchanged many many emails and of course hundreds of Qīs. RIP _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list
This is what I do too. Since I usually have a big or at least decent signal I can crack any pile-up quite fast. Instead of waiting I just call these jokers instead, itīs faster. Many times it will be
Seems like many are concerned about not wasting time. Not to waist time people send cut numbers, doesnīt give callsign for every QSO etc. People doesnīt like to send signal report or zone, and so on
Itīs sad to see. Also in Northern Sweden we had bad weather for antennas two days ago. I lost two verticals in a 80m 4 SQ array, got pulled down by wet sticky snow. I managed to save the 160m vertica
I think the only reason why CQ CC made the logs public is the cheating issue. It can not possibly be any other reason. Since IMO cheating is quite widespread I do have full understanding why CQ CC de
Yes there are still quite a few left however most are not too loud. Below you can find a bandscan from a fellow SWL done last night. Maybe thes will move shortly. 73 Jim SM2EKM 7100 29/3 1935 Voice o
OK Prasad, That sounds good. Personally I think Radio Belarus on 7135 will be difficult to move, difficult country in my point of view. Well it is interesting to follow the development. _____________

Well it DOESNīT mean itīs wrong either! Sure is amazing how some people like to twist bend and turn things around. In the IARU contest the rules for SO and MO are perfectly clear. So what if the N4GG

Read what SJ2W wrote on the 3830 list: Worst signal of the weekend? ES9C without much competition, as many times before. One could even see on the bandmap where he was located because pretty much 1-2
Isnīt it also so that in the K3 the CW signal is also routed through a filter to limit the bandwith ? 73 Jim -- Den 2020-06-09 kl. 02:08, skrev Jim Brown: On 6/8/2020 1:12 PM, Jim Brown wrote: They a
