I was wondering who won this year? I haven't seen any results on 3830. I know it couldn't have been K1DG because I was looking through some old CQ magazines and I saw a picture of his tower, collapse
Hi Zack I also wonder how many P5's, VU7's, 3C7's, VK0's, etc will be calling CQ. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http:/
Hi George This should work pretty well for most of us. Here's a quote from the ad: "Unusual shapes and configurations" That probably fits a lot of us :-) 73 Tom W7WHY ________________________________
Hi Steve Also be nice if name and calls were with the pix. It's fun to put faces with callsigns. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@conte
If people can't copy the code, how do they know that the spots the Skimmer is giving them is right? Just trust that Skimmer is always correct? 73 Tom W7WHY ___________________________________________
Hi Joe I think the robot thing would be great. I have to work a lot of Saturdays here and miss many contests. I can just set the thing up in the morning, and while I'm working, my computer can be doi
Hmmm, Joe, if I am not mistaken, you were very much against SO2R being in the unassisted catagory. I tried to find some of the old emails, but lost them somewhere. Maybe I'm wrong on that. What is th
I find a good way to see if 10 is open is tune upon the SSTV frequency and ask "Is the frequency in use." Usually someone is guarding their frequency :-) 73 Tom W7WHY ________________________________
I think a lot of time people don't actually set out to cheat, but to see just how far they can push the rules. Some people like to think, "If it ain't specifically stated I can't do that, I guess I c
{with skimmer} Hi Mike. I'm confused. With packet you don't have to verify the stations that are shown, but with Skimmer you do? I think part of the original thread was people who can't read fast CW
Have to disagree with you on this one, Dave. If I can't copy code, I can turn my dial all day long and I won't work anybody. If I have something that will 'assist' me in reading that code, it is a to
Hi All In the 'work dupes-no work dupes' communiocation, one thing I've been wondering about. What happens when: 1. W7AA calls CQ 2. W7BB answers but logs call as W7AAA. 3. W7AA gets credit for conta
You would think that most op's know when an realy active contester calls them, it is usually for a new mult or zone. We need a new Q signal for "Thanks-ur a new mult" :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________
Hi Dave Don't think it should take all that long. I have been on LOTW for about a year and I have WAS on Basic, RTTY, CW, 80 meters, 40 meters, 20 meters, and 46 on SSB. RTTY'ers are the best for QSL
Depends on the software. If you are using N1mm Logger, you just plug the mike into the sound card, plug the output of the sound card into the DXD (through a simple transformer/resistor/capacitor inte
On the other hand, the I'd like to see QST have a questionairre on what people read in the magazine and what they don't read. That might give the editors an idea of what people REALLY want in a magaz
Hi All While getting set up for the NAQP SSB sprint this weekend, I was wishing I had a way to monitor my transmit audio so I know the logger is sending what it is supposed to be saying. While watchi
Hi All And, if you want to give those macros and SO2R radio setups a good check, there are a couple of RTTY tests before the CQWW. SCC RTTY test on Aug 30 and the Russian RTTY test on Sept 6th. Check
Hi All I am using N1MM with the DXD and it switches everything--receive and tranmit audio for SSB, CW and RTTY. It is on the LPT port, though. 73 Tom W7WHY ___________________________________________
Hi Randy I already emailed Sean to tell him how much I enjoyed this months issue. Usually I look for contest results, read Seans colum and then it goes into the magazine pile. I read this one from co
