Hi All, I really had a great time in SS CW this weekend. It was not the runs, the sweep, or anything to do with propagation. During all those CQ's, you have time to think. I thought about my 1st SS b
I WAS single-op and used the club year. So was the op at W1MX. It doesn't matter. We can pontificate all day about it, but it's just info in the exchange. 73, Gerry, W1VE -- Gerry, W1VE/VE1RM Explore
In the full text on PR-Newswire, you get more of the details. They still want Yaesu to sell amateur products. From PRNewswire: -- Gerry, W1VE/VE1RM Explore real-time competition in ham radio - post y
Hello, There are now three simple hyperlinks at the top of the scoring page to select what you would like to view. http://www.getscores.org shows full scores and breakdowns. http://www.getscores.org/
Hi Jack, The only way a station can show up twice on the page is if they change category. NX5M is currently showing up in M/S only. Once you post ANY score, it will stay on the board for 48 hours. NX
Food for thought: Lots of folks would like to be in the running for a WRTC slot. For those who don't cheat, there should be more incentive to help stop/catch cheaters. For those who cheat, they shoul
Hi Dave, Actually, there is another free Virtual Machine from VMWare, called the VMWare Player, that fully supports talking to hardware, including USB, Serial and Parallel ports. It's the VMWare play
Joe, How come you have not been yelling at CQ?? Logs have been public for CQWW for the over a year now... and you and I both know that CQWW is a much more popular contest among DXCC hounds than ARRL
The site supports the display of breakdowns. It is not the SITE responsibility to filter data. I would suggest a switch in the client software to only post total score and total mults, if the operato
getscores.org will be up for the North American Sprint, CW tonight... Will you be a participant? Try posting your scores! Writelog (see getscores website), N1MM Logger and Win-Test fully support post
Um, What happens when an SDR is built into the radio? You better bet your bottom dollar they will be coming soon. At $12 for an SDR i-f receiver, soon. I'll bet from Elecraft first. Are we going to o
Hi Jack, I am very aware of, have used, and am impressed by the K3 -- what I meant is, they (Elecraft) will probably release,or somebody will write, a software module to do the same work as VE3NEA's
A free-for-all is fine, unless you are trying to score a contest (contest sponsor), or, track scores while multiple contests are going on (getscores.org). The only important tag is the CONTEST-ID, wh
These are very interesting discussions! On the (technical) possibility of Sable and St. Paul remoting: (I've operated from both) St Paul: No (useful) infrastructure at all. If one was to build a remo
Hi Joe, I appreciate your very thoughtful response. I can see where your worry comes from. I just think it is misplaced. In the ham radio world, I guess I'm a relatively young pup -- I've been a ham
Joe, If we put remote stations, available 24/7/365, at rare DX locations, that will INCREASE HF activity, not dimish it. That said, I believe both our points have validity and should be considered. _
Two new filters have been added to the getscores.org display. You are now able to select [North American Scores] or [DX Scores]. As the number of users on the scoreboard increases, I'll be adding man
The KCDX Pileup Tape was again a very interesting test and a whole lot of fun. Thanks guys! After watching the SDR and Contest Forums, I'm firmly convinced that SDR, in some form, will become widely
Checking is not hard at all, Randy -- same as it is now. You create a text file with, say, 100 known calls. the software (the new piece needed to make this reality) would create these 100 calls calli
My 2c: - One of the basis and reasons for the amateur service is to innovate and advance the radio art. No matter our interest in ham radio -- be it contesting or otherwise, we should not forget this
