How about one of the alphanumeric LED badges that have become popular at hamfests? You could download the award information and walk around Dayton (or some similar event) boasting of winning the big
Not necessarily true. All users behind a single NAT will have the same IP address as far as the external network is concerned. The NAT network could actually be very big (ours at work is US-wide conn
Uh, let me rephrase that. The stations behind the NAT will have different ip addresses, issued by the DHCP server part of the NAT/ firewall. But, to the outside world, they will all have the same add
I had difficulties finding the cert link also. I did find it, and also found the instructions to be a bit ambiguous. First off, DON'T search for your call at the URL provided. That takes you to a lis
OK, so a quick followup to my own post. Things changed since I played with the web site last evening, and now I find that a call search from the first URL _does_ give me a listing with the cert link.
Way to go! I _knew_ he could do it! -Jack Brindle, W6FB (ex-WA4FIB) == _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/ma
From the ARRL General Contesting rules: 3.10. The use of non-Amateur Radio means of communication (for example, Internet or telephone) to solicit a contact (or contacts) during the contest period is
Actually it sounds dangerous. The amount of local QRM here in silicon valley is pretty bad, but I just cannot imagine having four or five others on the same block all doing the same contest at once.
Actually, the initiation right you will enjoy best involves using the Wouff-Hong on hams who don't own a K3, but still want to complain about it... It is especially enjoyable when applied to a certai

Bruce; Yes there are. The rules indicate that the deadline is 10 minutes after the contest. The on-line rules at http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2010/rr.html , Section 8 clearly states: "Submissio
Preparing for the Rookie Roundup will be a significantly different exercise for many of us. Realize the contest isn't for us, so we will be training others how to participate. One of the things that
Joe; You sound like you are almost in a panic. When calling CQ on CW, the op would send: CQ RR CQ RR DE W0RKY K or CQ RR CQ RR DE W0RKY/ROK K No problems there. This really looks like it will be a fu

Interesting discussion, but I really wonder why no one has asked the obvious question - Is there some belief that all contesters have Extra class licenses? Or perhaps the proponents of this idea wish
Sorry guys, my QLF. No matter how many times I read it, my eyes saw 7100-7125, but my mind read it as 7000-7025. It's a good suggestion... Somehow I have to be able to blame this on Locust / K6VVA...
Actually it had more than one error. Canadians were rather surprised to hear the computer claim that Toronto was in the US. So were we... Jack Brindle, W6FB __________________________________________
Funny, you mention three that we at NCCC specifically do care about, and in the order you mention. I have a big problem with the NAQP "super" teams. They take ops away from the clubs, making it diffi
While we are waiting for that, wouldn't it be great if the logger programs would generate the LOTW file at the same time they generate the Cabrillo file? That way we would not have to start up anothe
