[CQ-Contest] IR cans?

[Clive Whelan]

Hi

Does anyone have experience of using IR ( i.e. cordless) cans in 
the RF environment?

I am always catching my foot in the existing long lead, and 
causing havoc in the middle of a contest! I would dearly love to 
be free of that encumbrance, but do not know how susceptible 
they might be to the RF environment in the shack.

Opinions welcome.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Salmon Run - Next Weekend!

For those of you desiring rare Washington counties and some yummy smoked
salmon (goes well with the California QSO Party wine and Wisconsin QSO Party
cheese...) point the radio in our direction next weekend, Sep 15th and 16th.
Several of us will be out a-mobiling around the state and others will be
holding forth from their own formidable stationry.  Note that stations on
county lines, corners, and Spots of Mystery, count one QSO for each county.

The complete (and I mean complete) info is to be found at:

There is no truth to the rumor that N7LOX counts extra, although his QSOs
with K9BGL (bagel) and K8CC (cream cheese) make for good post-contest
writeups...now I'm hungry - gotta go.

Hope to put you in the log!
