Hmmm, same thing here Bob. I got the message "All you losers can't submit a lot. Only log from K1DG will be accepted." Still think something fishy is going on. 73 Tom W7WHY Yaw-butt... MY log was rej
PS: Now that I'm thinking about it, I can imagine having a little more fun by giving the big gun's reports like "229" as a sort of "Revenge of the Little Pistol's", knowing that it breaks nothing, ex
Hi Shelby You are right on there. I think sometimes op's have their CW (computer) speed set real slow even if they can copy much faster. I have never figured out why in the heck if I am sending at 35
Boy,no wonder it was so loud here. I can remember when people used to say they pointed their antennas towards the site and send a bunch of dits on their keyer and stopped it. I think that would be a
Forty meters is actually the only band where RTTY and CW mingle. As people have said over and over again. some countries CAN'T work RTTY up high in the band on 40, that is why they congregate around
Hi Bill et al The participation in the last few RTTY contests has increased dramatically. I have worked a whole bunch of new 2 x 3 callsigns that have never been on before. This seems to say that the
Now, that is a good idea. I just started receiving NCJ and it sure has a lot more stuff I'm interested in than QST does. Hey Steve, bring it up an the next meeting :-) 73 Tom W7WHY __________________
Hi Dale I think that is a good way to do it. I acutally put "W7WHY <<<<<nst>>>>>" at the end. At least if someone tunes me in at the end of the CQ, they know I am CQ'ing. If I just send W7WHY, it's h
Yeah, it's great ain't it!! Got 2 for the 2006 sweepstakes last week. Someone is on the ball!! 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesti
Hi All It seems as this summer is just flying by and pretty soon it will be contest time again (yay). It won't be long until we are in the midst of some 160 meter contests. And, as before, after the
Regardless of how the score turns out, it was neat to see K7NV on the cover of QST this month, doing what he does best. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
Hi All Yes, they do QSL very well. One thing I have wondered. I see that BS7H has already uploaded their logs. One thing that always got a good input of donations for the DX'peditions is the paper ca
Bob, I have to dissagree with you on this one. I positivily hate those emails with the smiley kittens, rays of sunshine, smiley faces, etc in the background. Dunno what they are trying to prove with
Hi Alex Have you considered the Hy Gain TH-2? It is the same price as the TH-3jr but you can run 2 kw into it. I had a TH-3Jr here once upon a time and I blew the traps by accidently loading the amp
Hi All I was wondering what the general consensus is in doing SO2R in the sprints. I would imagine that the top level scorers did SO2R, and I was thinking about doing it, but what is the best sceneri
Hi Warren There is--every week on Thursday night at 0200 and 0230. From 0200 to 0230 is the slow speed practice, around 20 wpm, and from 0230 to 0300 we let 'er rip :-). The NCCC has the Sprint Ladde
Hi Steve Where would you recommend? 7090 up in the DX SSB portion of the band? That would work good if you could get all the countries that CAN'T work RTTY up there to change their rules and regulalt
Hi Steve I think I'd still hang around 3.750 as it will be a while before guys start moving wayway down the band. It seems to me that working down around 3.600 would actually be better because you co
Or in my case, put it there for all to laugh at :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/
