Adding 6 meters makes the ARRL look like a bunch of flaming idiots, especially compared to CQWW! I vote IN FAVOR! :-) de Doug KR2Q -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Adminis
You should have no problem with RG11. Using bigger stuff is harder to work with and the connectors get expensive. If you're really worried, use the 70 ohm stuff AFTER (on either side) the T connecto
HI contesters... I will be active in the WPX contest. I'm not sure what my call will be. I will be using a transceiver connected to some antennas. I will be active on some of the bands, maybe all. CU
This is kind of tough to answer, since they didn't have much of an antenna there at the show. All they had was a dipole up about 15', inside the auditorium. I tuned around for a while and did hear so

Many seem to forget two things: 1) Many guys who will submit logs (and end up in the "box") CAN copy a 4 digit number (the 599 is understood) at blazing speeds. 2) Many of the guys who send at blazi
While mindlessly following links around on the web this morning, I came onto a most unusal site that may make some of the recent posters on this reflector feel right at home... Reading all of these c
I posted the results of the 1997 Kansas City DX Club Hospitality Suite CW Pileup Contest (KCDXCHSCWPC) on the Kansas City DX Club homepage last Saturday night. Seems that the server went down on Sund
Dear fellow debaters, uh...I mean contesters: Talk about beating a dead horse! Is there any more to be learned about CUT NUMBERS? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cut numbers (who coined that term?) are only a prob
Hello Andrew! It's nice to hear you on again! This same thing happens to me from time to time. What I think is happening is that your caller actually maxes out at 10 wpm, or something like that, so y
I like and agree with Alan's "mini-analysis." When I was part of the crew at K2GL/N2AA for some 10 years of consistant USA M/M wins (yes, except for 1981), I don't think any of us ever looked at how
Rick Glisson, N4XMX asked about Telrex... Maybe 1/2 a dozen years ago (can't remember exactly), a group of NJ hams (including me) went to Telrex to enter into negotiations to buy the company. It wasn
Ah me...you just can't get away with ANYTHING these days. The N2AA/K2GL "consistant wins" was also broken in 1986 by N5AU, the first time a station from Texas won M/M in the CQWW contest. That should
-- you send 599 just to save time and effort in transmitting, and on the receiving end you would just as soon get honest reports, or does receiving honest reports slow you down and annoy you? kind of
6/10/97 Does anyone know when the CW All-Asia DX test will be held? The announcements in CQ, QST, NCJ, WorldRadio, etc., are in disagreement between June 14-15 and June 21-22, 1997. Last year's resul
As the (maybe) holder of the record for most non-59 signal reports in a contest (about 1600 out of 1650 in the 1988 CQWW SSB) a word to those considering JUST DOING IT : it may be easy to program you
Late Thursday night (or early Friday) Gene was admitted for emergency abdominal surgery. His B/P was 237/133 and his white count was 15,000. He is currently in the ICU (intensive care unit) of JF Ken
Just thought I would mention how I found out about Gene. I had just gotten home from an adventure with the family when the phone started to ring. My wife got it and chatted for a while then handed me
Coming up next week: the Canada Day Contest, sponsored by RAC. VE2ZP normally posts an announcement about this one along about now, but I haven't seen anything from Dave on here about this yet. Anywa
There is no excuse to not sign at least every 3 qso's. Every qso is better. This is a BIG reason why many guys lose a qso or even a multiplier. If you are a needed mult (either a local or on a DxPed
