My old Nel-tech DVK has headed for the happy hunting ground and I might consider another nel-tech unit that I use with my back up old Icom set up. If you have one you might consider getting rid of le
Thanks to the many offered me a Nel-Tech DVK. I have one on the way. Mine was made in 1984 by the fellow at Wang Labs who worked on the digital voice exchange which is the basis for most voice mails.
May I suggest N4UQ Amplifier Service as an alternative. Dick probably knows more about Alpha amps that alpha techs. He is slow but a good alternative until Alpha gets its act together. Dave K4JRB --O
I first worked John in a ARRL CD Party back in the late 1950's. If you have a contest question John is the man to ask. Wish I had John's stamina. 73 Dave K4JRB --Original Message-- __________________
The request by KR2Q to send in your log is right on. The CQ WW need all logs no matter how small including check logs to accurately score the contest. If you think you log is too small ask for extens
What did I miss? This was the ARRL DX weekend. DQ for CQ does not mean ARRL DX weekends. DQing for self spotting is not as bad as padding the log with unverified QSO's. Dave K4JRB ___________________
The CQ WW rules added the requirement that any station trying for Top 3 in any category must record both transmit and received audio (two channels?). Questions have been brought up about audio level
The April CQ was released April 1 in digital format. CQ Communications is just getting the March CQ in the mail now. The April Print issue will go in the mail after that. CQ is having problems with t
I had the problem in the late 1980's when operating at multi singles. I heard stations I had not worked and I remember one prominent I4 tell me so sorry but he was in multiplier mode. Working me was

W3LPL is correct. Years ago we could run 150 watts input which is about 100 watts out now. It was easy to figure input (voltage times current). I had a club official come by and certify that I was le
Don't know about the issues K1VR brings up but he is an attorney and knows current law. I doubt there is a subdivision built in the last 25 or 30 years that does nor require a HOA. Why, because the f
The document I saw many years ago that financials institutions all use to require to get funding for subdivisions do restrict towers and antennas. Once in place these rules are beyond the reach of lo
You guys are youngsters. I got my novice in May 1957 after taking the test in Feb 1957 and I upgraded to Conditional in Early 1958. My first rig was a DX-35 and S-40B receiver. I realized the S-40B w
A change was made to eham to make sure we are on the correct site BUT the log on will no longer accept the password I set up some time ago. Is anyone else having this problem? Dave K4JRB ____________
Hello Masa, Al and everyone, 4U1WB has been an accepted entry in the CQ contests for many years. In the CQ 160 Contests 4U1WB counts as DC for a multiplier. I agree this is not right so if this is th
The ARRL SS years ago was a two weekend affair and you had to pick the mode and the max of 40 hours out of 73 total allotted. Virtually everyone ran 150 watts input or less as there was a multiplier
I agree that the serial number is not as important as the correct exchange. Log checking software should be able to handle SO2R. 73 Dave K4JRB --Original Message-- ___________________________________
I feel two rules that will restrict stations from entering contests are unfair to operators without newer gear and all the support that well healed contesters have are: 1. The requirement to record a
Gang, This is the second time that This issue has come up. 4U1WB has been active from the world Bank in Washington DC and should be made an exception to any rule about FCC assigned call signs in the
