Well, again you are missing the point. When Lew gets on from W7 in the WPX contest he has nobody to compare scores with at the end of the contest in his area. When you operate the SS from Maryland,
1. Anyone who can currently run em at 100+ per hour for 36 hours doesnt see a need for change. 2. Anyone who can't (or anyone who can empathize with the ones who can't) would like to have it changed
An EXCELLENT idea. Thanks for listening N8BJQ. 73 Bill Fisher, W4AN (EX KM9P) http://www.contesting.com -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: cq-conte
Doesn't make any sense to me either. What was the logic behind it? So that KP2 could compete with P4 sorta ?? 73 Bill -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative reque
Ohhhwaaa... Wait-a-second... You are telling me that a caribbean station can't compete in the WPX contest if the points are changed from 2-4 to 1-2 for NA QSO's ??? I seriously doubt it. The caribbea
The best conditions I have ever experienced in a contest were in the black hole during the WPX CW contest. The worst conditions I have ever experienced in a contest were in the black hole during the
I'de like to remind everyone that rate sheets for previous efforts from some of the high scoring stations are available at http://www.contesting.com. I would like to request that if you are a top ten
Well I'm a 4-square owner and I am going to disagree with you to a point. This winter I did some comparisons with N4RJ on 80M CW. Val is running a inverted-V extended length dipole with the ends pul
Thanks to Tine for the news on WRTC-2000. Regarding the USA selection criteria: In the 1996 event clubs were asked to chose one competitor for the competion. For the most part this worked out. Howeve
Nathan has written another addition to the first article he wrote on OWA Yagi antenna design. This is a yagi with wide bandwidth, wide F/B, and 50 ohm direct feed. There are a couple of new designs i
Anyone who may have downloaded the OWA article in it's MS Word format this morning, please be aware that the file was infected with the LUNCH virus (whatever that is). I got it cleaned with McAfee ju
The rule was added one year after I operated the WPX CW contest as single-op, multi-transmitter. I checked with N8BJQ before the event to see if such an operation would be DQ'ed. Since there was no
Anyone else notice how noisy 20 meters was this weekend? N5TJ tells me that this has been normal for the band the past few weeks. I used my single European beverage Sunday afternoon for RX. It was th
Not so surpising Gary. People dont avoid the WPX because of the Memorial Day weekend conflict. That was just a convenient excuse. I think the 1-point QSO's will be great next year. But after this we
We in the South East Contest Club were very impressed with the inter-club competition that the YCCC came up with for this year's contest season. See http://www.yccc.org for more information. We, howe
Hmmmm... A lot of guys like this audio mixing stuff. Not me. You need a 2-pole 3 position rotary switch. Draw the switch out on a piece of paper. You'll be able to figure it out from there. One pole
Dave & Billy, Well, it looks like the W4AN winning multi-op score was also dropped from the 10 meter results. Yes we received confirmation that the log was received. Obviously that means nothing. Ple
When you send an email to the League with your log attached, the email generates an automated response. This is called an auto responder. We use it all of the time for people who use us as an ISP. Th
NO!! That's not what I said. I'm sorry, I assume too much knowledge of email. The mail just got dumped from the relay point that also generates the auto response. They had no idea that your log wasn'
A few more points that have been discussed here in the past that are worth more air time... 1) The lower loss the stub cable is, the sharper the Q. 2) Using multiple stubs: If you seperate them by 1/
