AH3C: The view from the other side: a run frequency. You have no idea what could be going on - by Sunday morning I am so tired I can barely remember to press F1. It would be easy to press F1 then ESC
on Cool it, Yuri. Your beefs with me personally and with my employer was not the discussion at hand. Thanks. Scott W4PA __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free stor
W0MU: The point I was making is that a *good* SO2R operator is not going to allow this to occur. The W0RTT technique suggested was to listen for a truncated CQ and try to steal, immediately, the SO2R
Yeah, for the IARU HF, that's W4AN (W4PA, op) 1,982,512 listed 3rd under W/VE top 10 CW. I went to look up the line score in QST - but the line scores aren't in QST any more. I don't mind Bill gettin
I'm looking at them in the February 2003 QST. BTW - I did not operate N4AF in the 2001 IARU. I was operating WX0B and finished 4th. The top 10 box for 2001 results is also in error. So 2 years in a
K5RC, to wit: I usually operate at K4JNY's place, but considering Jeff has my linear amplifier, my HF rig, most of my coax and antennas, my dollars for towers and antennas, my labor from multiple 200
WX4TM: Let me make sure I understand you correctly: SO2R operation was developed from the existing rule set, and now those same rules years later are "grossly unfair" to the SO1R contest participant?
K4SB: What is the incentive to develop operator ability if every time an innovation within the rules is segregated to a different category? Yeah, I'm going to invest mental energy developing a compet
Syl, SO2R is very mainstream. Want to know how I can tell? When I got involved with Tennessee Contest Group in 1996, I think that myself and K1KY were the only two guys in the club who were at least
I've always done it this way, but I don't consider one radio to be S&P and the other run. Either could be either. I feel the advantage is I can always have my left hand on a radio and always have my
Hello: I'm organizing the teams for the SSSC CW Sprint teams for this coming Saturday. If you're in W4 or W5 or a bordering area (check in, N4ZR) and are not on a team for this weekend we'd like to p
'Lo folks: Anyone operating the CW Sprint this weekend from W4 or W5 that would like to be on a Southern States Sprint Coalition team please drop me an email via w4pa at yahoo.com. So far we have two
asked if I could move down a bit. There was a strong stn there and I 2 kHz away? Absolutely not. Stick to your guns, bro. Scott Robbins, W4PA __________________________________________________ Do you
There is a simple solution that takes "just don't work them" a step further. Note their callsign, don't work them - and then don't work them in subsequent contests. The pros who sign after every QSO,
Sure - how much information would you like? I've been known to send a dit or three in contests as a full blown proponent of SO2R operation...and had a significant amount of input into the design and
I wrote the text in question, and I'm an SO2R contester, and I don't agree. Many contesters have the facility to 1) pick off multipliers in between CQing on the same radio as is done with rigs like
It's that time again. This is not limited to people who may have made a category top 10 box - what I am looking for is "expanded soapbox" material to include as part of the article - from anyone. Don
George, Hold the phone! You have inadvertently hit on the solution - overflow the packet networks with redundant spots during the contest to make the use of packet in radio contesting completely friv
Fellow contesters, I received a Sweepstakes certificate in the mail for 2002 SS CW this past weekend and have to say, though I usually don't pay too much attention to the design of the certificate -
Jim, 11 "must operate"??!? A quick look at the calendar says among Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec for 2003 there are only 17 weekends total! Now THAT'S a commitment to contest operating. I do much the same, for
