WM5R: issue is K6LA's "Learning from Your Log Checking Report" Hopefully one of KC1J's first tasks will be to publish these for the 2006 ARRL DX Contests. 73, Bill W4ZV ______________________________
Are there any Russian members who can tell me if there is any way around this? A Russian ham is interested in buying a used rig from me but I just noticed the following in our postal regulations: Pro

K7QQ: pick them out. I normally use 1000hz or if its really crowed and strong I'll cut down to 600 but thats enuff, and you were issued ears to separate the diff tones. When one is off to the side he
W9WI replied: copy multiple signals through the QRM doesn't help that much if the *other guy* doesn't have the same ability... But a caller doesn't need to. He is answering *your* CQ. He may have tak
Rather than worry about saving a few characters in a CQ or exchange, we might gain more QSOs by paying attention to: 1. *Appropriate* sending speeds, realizing not all potential repliers are hot-shot
W6WRT: example, in a 48 hour contest there are 172800 seconds. If you call CQ every ten seconds, that is 17280 CQs. Save one half second on each CQ and you have saved 144 minutes, or 2 hours and 24 m
N6XI: slightly smaller and much smoother than the one on the MP. The sub-receiver tuning knob is much smaller than the one on the MP but it's all alone in its portion of the panel and easy to use as

appears not to be a problem. I am running the K3 in an SO2R configuration with an FT-1000MP and comparing the two closely. The two dual-concentric knobs are actually a little larger than those on the
VO1HE: I disagree. The easy solution is to work serious competitors who long ago learned to log every QSO. If you work Joe Blow who is looking for new band countries, chances are that he may not log
Here's your SCP list: Zone 5: KC1XX, W3LPL (p.s. don't bother NQ4I) Zone 4: K9NS, K3LR Zone 3: N6RO, NK7U How hard was that? If you don't hear these guys CQ-ing on all 6 bands, you need some antenna

KU8E: NQ4I: If someone will recalculate all NQ4I CQ WW scores with an additional 1000 QSO points (for 1000 zero pointers), I'll bet it makes *no difference* in the top MM standings, even assuming the
In today's mail I received a certificate and a very nice 28-page booklet "Results 2006, Rules 2007 - RDXC". Very nicely done guys! 73 & spasibo! Bill W4ZV ____________________________________________
K4XS: spots for five and two of them will be taken up by the 2.1 kHz filters for split SSB operation. Bill this is incorrect. There are slots for 5 roofing filters PER receiver, so you could put one
This may present an interesting dilemma for contest sponsors. Skimmer is pure hardware...no external help from other ops. How could you disallow Skimmer (effectively gleaning spots like Packet) and y
(Tried to send direct but your ISP bounced me) Tony if one 500 Hz filter is the Inrad 8.8 MHz, try wiggling it around. I installed one which is a tight fit and it apparently causes some connection pr
