HI José, "real hard core SDR operator" ;-)) What is the SDR Radio you are using in contests? So far none of them is useful for contesting in Europe without sophisticated preselectors. Then you are sa
No matter how often you repeat it, it is wrong. If you operate your rig in the shack remote controlled via local lan from the living room in a contest the qsos are still via RF. Making use of a wirel
What extra mile or effort? Do you expect the remote operator not sitting? The extra mile or effort is getting a remote rig flawlessly working and being competive with it. 73 Peter I have great respec
Yes, please bring the persons who you talked to and who agreed with your opinion into the discussion. Guess one is Aurelio who shared seats with me at DR1A and OT1A. Would be intersting to know why i
I always work with 100mS transmit delay in Wintest as I use amps and antenna switches with open frame relays. So far I did not feel any disadvantage about it. 73 Peter Even a hundred milliseconds of
The WPX is a dx contest according to the rules: "I. Objective: For amateurs world wide to contact as many amateurs and prefixes as possible during the contest period. VII. Contact Points: (a) Contact
Your RBN spots on 40m in Europe are better then those of K1LZ, but you suffer on 80m. A better use of the 80m log periodic would be to use the height and boom length for a gain maximized yagi. I gues
It always happens when multiple antenna directions are used by the big gun stations on tx and a single antenna direction on rx. 73 Peter --Original Message-- From: CQ-Contest [mailto:cq-contest-bounc
Never, it happens most of the time by chance. same to you, Peter _____ So.. is that deliberate interference? Created, designed and accomplished by the operator? Have a great day, --... ...-- Dale - W
Yes, I know, but they listen to one rx antenna at the time. And typically they asks only once (if ever) whether a frequency is busy. I always run into that problem when operating low power and being
Sometimes it takes a lot of "empty CQing" when a station runs qrp or low power with small antennas 73 Peter --Original Message-- From: CQ-Contest [mailto:cq-contest-bounces@contesting.com] On Behalf
Hi Charles, He canīt continue cqing while he is on a different band working Qs as only one signal is allowed at the same time. And concerning the break between calls, usually one stops the cq when he
All SDRs have good results with narrow spaced dynamic range, but that is meaningless. ON5KQ is also using the QSR1 with his skimmer. It is totally useless without massive front end attenuation from t
Read section 14: http://www.sherweng.com/Dayton_2004/Dayton_2004-Sherwood_files/frame.htm 73 Peter I sure wish one of you smart guys would make a YouTube video and demonstrate how the various Sherwoo
How comes that stations with remote transmit sites like Norddeich Radio were licensed for the transmitter location and not for the operating location? All audio went over land lines which is comparab
Mark, I fully agree, ham radio communication is RF to RF, point to point or multi point. I do not even consider FM repeaters as true ham radio. But that has nothing to do with the way one connects hi
Ulli I donīt agree. The figures can not be compared as useful they are. The main factor for signal to noise is the local noise picked up by the different antennas connected to the skimmers and the qr
Did I miss something? When was that with any 24 hours in WWDX? Anyway, I understand that rule as the first 24h of the logging period, not of the contest period. Sure it is nice to get only the best 2
Why do think you have to wait 61 minutes? If you log the last one at x0.59.59 you wait one hour + one second if you log the next one at x2.00.00 and won 59 seconds of operating time the hour before.
I see you understood and if you did not log one in the last minute those 60+1 minutes will not bother you anyway. 73 Peter And if you log the last one at x0.59.00, you must still wait until x2.00.00.
