I have to add my endorsement of the ICOM 736 as an ideal portable rig for contesting. I used one for several years while running around the Russian republics. It is small, fully self-contained (110-2

I disagree. I routinely have a half dozen or more middle schoolers and high schoolers here for many SSB contests. They don't think it's "nerdy." "Nerd" is an in thing right now in this age of comput

Who cares? If some has the initiative to put up a Bobtail or half-square, or a non-steerable rhombic (been there, done that), they'll still be competing against other entries in the "wires" category

Paul, I use both Zonet KVM and I just recently added a Avocent KVM because I wanted DVI and USB switching with a common USB hub. Both work well, but the shortcoming in any KVM is in the cable. The vi

I haven't spent enough time with one to venture an opinion, but the short time I did operate one it seemed quite capable. It's no FT-1000, but for a rig that operates from 160 thru 440, it's quite a

Yes. Had both and there was no contest. The FT-1000MP was clearly superior, especially on CW which is my preferred mode. I did like the band scope feature, but that's about the only advantage in my

For Pete's sake, Field Day is about getting activity going, not score or run rate! Just getting everybody we can on for a bit is a worthwhile goal in itself. Class "D", "A", whatever. I have my fonde

Pete has a good point. Another reason is the disparity of rigs/filters. When I have my filters tightened down to 250Khz with DSP on, and the roofing filter and the 40M yagi are in line with big sign

Exactly. And that is the pure logic of "what difference does it make?" If your call is busted in the DX log or in the contest log, no credit is due. Seems like most of the big Dxpeditions send out c
