GoToMyPC is great, but not required. If you use a free VPN, you get all those features, with less latency. Once you have a connection, you can use any program you want -- all the ones you've listed w
IMHO, POTS costs from traditional carriers are still not that inexpensive. If you use VoIP (low cost), you might as well just use the internet. Internet remote is viable for anyone that can get broad
And, Paul, you are certainly entitled to your opinion! You have made your voice abundantly clear -- we hear ya. 59+ Glad you are paying attention to catch all those terms. Remote operation IS a part
Mark, What the heck does remote operation have to do with "showing putting effort in the True Game"? Ask any of the stations who have put in a REAL contest operation using a remote station, and they
Mark, Let's get to the meat of the matter: You have said you don't oppose remote operation. WHY do you oppose remote operation during a contest? What is different about it? Are you worried that the r
But you do have answers, Wayne! Your answer is to put remote operation in a different category. That's no answer. Let's say you live in a beautiful house where there are antenna covenants. You have t
There was already a discussion about the new addition to rule 4: "The use of switching systems that allow for lockouts in order to use multiple transmitters (i.e., an octopus) in an attempt to enter
I'm part of a 4A, I'm one band. I would not intend to EVER transmit on another band. I would not intend to transmit two signals on the same band -- in fact, with the arrangement, it's impossible. Thi
Right, Mike. My point is to demo a technique, not to try and cheat/win a category. (That would be very hard, as many of the club's folks are casual ops). Switching to 5A not possible -- club does not
Agreed, Ed. In the end, It doesn't matter one hill of beans.. I'll ask the FD chairman -- but I'm simply a band captain trying to figure out what I want to do. The club has been 4A for years -- they
Agree 100% Felipe -- I ran N1MM in Vritualbox on my Mac Mini, with USB to my K3. I had this displayed on a 31" HD monitor in the tent.. I had RBN with the map showing where we were being heard, and m
What's wonderful about this world, Paul, is that you are free to express your ideas... no matter how long you beat the concept to death. If you follow what is happening with the CQ Contest committee,
I figured you would not answer the question. Anyway, I have no particular aversion with W2LC's assertion, other than we don't need new rules -- the rules already state that you must be appropriately
Hi Gary, Writing you this on a Thinkpad X61 Laptop running Windows 7 64-bit edition, with 4 GB RAM. Works perfect for N1MM, etc. Just be aware that their may not be 64-bit drivers for everything. The
Under Windows 7 64-bit, 32-bit applications run fine under the WOW layer of 64-bit Wndows. (The 32-bit apps get installed in the Program Files (x86) directory.) Where you can run into problems is wit
The irony in this is that the entire world was in the pileup. Did the operator even acknowledge the comment? Nope, and didn't identify either. This is a hard problem to solve, and can probably only b
I'll be at the Microsoft Live 360 Conference in Orlando Monday - Thursday this week. If any contesters are going, or any locals want to get together for a cold one, let me know. 73, Gerry Hull, W1VE
I wish people would use my node more -- taking some load from you Dave, ARCluster had no issues. Mine is in the cloud, with many gigabits of bandwidth. Either dxc.w1ve.com or w1ve.com works. It used
100% agree, Pete. I would admit that I'm a very aggressive CQer while running ... no more than a second or two between CQs with no answer... However, I was using full QSK and Identifying after every
Like the theme, Ward... How about this as an outside-the-box simple example of a new contest: -Form inter-continental virtual teams -intra-team QSOs count zero points -rest of scoring matches a curre
