I would tend to agree with you Hans. In last years phone sweepstakes, I had what I thought was a spectacular run on 20m on Sunday. I ran on the same frequency for over 3 hours and the qso rate was am
In my limited participation I would say that 90 percent were sending their call when coming back and I started doing it sometime right after the start because I knew without doubt that they were call
Agreed! I had a blast in the WPX from Montana last year and hope to do it again this year maybe as a multi 2. The one pointers make the contest much more fun. IMHO all contacts should be one point. T
I have to wait for 3 contacts! Hmmm I guess you need to find 3 real good friends to work you over and over and over and over. I think we need to fix all the contests - no just the contest that happen
I have used a program called Audacity to record contests. Very flexible. Just Google it. Mike W0MU Hi all, I see more and more mention of contest recording on the reflector and elsewhere. I am clearl
Then make DX contacts worth more. The Stew Perry concept is looking better and better. And while we are at it more points for working QRP too. --Original Message-- From: cq-contest-bounces@contesting
If it were not for the times when we get good rate contesting would be a bore! Nothing like running 300+ an hour from the Carib in the ARRL DX Test..WOW A little pistol VE's perspective. No opinion -
Ok I will bite! I would love to see a 24/30 hour category. Talk about strategy! It won't be long before there is an AARP class. Mike W0MU I think I enjoyed this reflector better when everyone was bit
Actually added in one pointers would increase participation or at least QSO totals in the USA which has the largest base of Amateurs. My comments are to make the contest more fun and enjoyable for al
I believe the rule is a suggestion. This is a "gentlemen's" agreement. Under non contest weekends there is no reason to be in the window as there is plenty of spectrum still available. For a few days
I had a similar experience in SS where a well known Zero Land Multiop had left a frequency I believe on 40m for quite a while. We were working on another band at the time then decided to switch. This
It depends on if you are making contacts or the other station is. If they are and you are not, time to move. If you are managing to make Q's and they are not then chances are they will probably get p
Thanks to all who responded. He was a very busy jammer. If you were jammed by this AD5 person and would be interested in filing a complaint please email me off the list. Thanks W0MU _________________
Actually I received a personal response from Riley Hollingsworth about the situation in question and he was going to contact this individual. I am not sure what will happen but if you provide proof t
Has anyone used these controllers? If so I would appreciate some feedback. I was looking for a better rotor controller for a couple of Alpha Spid rotators I ran across the RT-20 in the April Qst wher
I heard K1DG calling CQ PDA on 20m CW...there is something wrong with trying to work stations the normal way for this contest. I think the rules committed should investigate this obvious attempt to w
I thought that was one of the fun things about WPX was the plentiful mults. Makes the WPX something other than a DX test from the western US. Mike W0MU Personally, I think the callsign borrowing thin
It is not as much the call as the station. K's I think are more prevalent because of the timing of one of the "vanity/chose your call" periods. Kilowatt, Norway/November, Whiskey/Washington. NA7XX ha
