This weekend I had ample oportunity to make observations about rain static. In the past I have noted that the highest antenna on a tower is the one plagued by rain static. This is the case at my stat

Negative. This changes nothing you were complaining about in your message. Your suggestion actually makes what you are complaining about worse. SOAB+ is a viable category. It's just not attracting a
I'm hosting many of the big USA club reflectors at my place. Most of them because friends have asked if I would. I can say for sure that our new club (South East Contest Club) has benefitted greatly
Jay, Why would you feel stress over a bunch of guys calling you? You were doing fine. I was listening when you went QRT. Next year do the following... 1. If you work more hours of the contest, the p
There are many folks that wouuld like to use the internet cluster system during the contest and would like to integrate it with CT, NA, or TRLog. This message will attempt to educate you on how this
I haven't had a working amplifier for SS since 1991 and got a SB220 in April so I was all set to run for second place high power in GA this year. I knew, absent a disaster of some kind, K7GM would ea
Yes this can be done and has been done. The TNC's need to be set so that they behave as a serial connection rather than a chat connection. I forget the command in the Kantronics units that we used.
One thing that bugged me while making my 250 QSO's was getting answered by someone (I think) and them not sending my callsign. I havnt looked, but isn't part of the exchange in the rules sending the
I think so too for an onsight competition. How would you police only one TXing during the contest? Rules should be written so that they can at least in theory be enforced. Writing a rule that can ne
I'de say so. In SS phone you were as loud or louder than any of the "B" stations I heard from Florida. Congratulations. 73 Bill, W4AN -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Admi
Even better than this is when the lid busts your call and you send it again and he simply says "QSL QRZ". QSL what? QSL that your an idiot and you still have my call wrong? When this happens, I just
I need one more SERIOUS single op for our 2nd team Handkey team. I'm looking for anyone that will operate at least 40 hours. 73 Bill - -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Adm

Well... I'm not so sure this as cut and dry as you say. I think this is a judgement call. If I call XX9XX and he busts my call and I make a real effort to correct him and he doesn't acknowledge it a
Prediction is for severe WX for Saturday and Sunday. I can't believe we are going to get blanked 3 of 4 contest weekends this fall. &%#$$#$!! Elninio !!! 73 Bill, W4AN -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://ww
I'm in the PC business and I cant find ANY PCI serial, LPT, or sound cards. Now with Pentium motherboards you only get 3 or 4 ISA slots. It doesnt take any time to use those up with a DVP, Serial, an
I ditto this remark. All week I'm working loud Europeans on 80M. Friday night it was exactly what Larry said... a one way mirror. I kept wondering if something had broken on my antenna or something.
I worked YT0T last night on 80M CW. He commented that midwest stations were louder than east coast stations during the contest. I would guess this is a general statement. I believe that the extreme N
No comparison. The FT1000MP is by far the better radio. During SS I couldn't believe how much "junk" the 870 was hearing on a clear frequency. I think the IF DSP stuff is another generation from bein
