The problem with TU QRZ for a RUN station is that it burns time for late arriving S&P. If I'm operating unassisted, and I don't have a prior contact from the log spot on your frequency, then I don't
This guy is missing the point. Contests are good for ARS - even if you are not a participant - or even in the "anti-contest because it interferes with my rag chew time" viewpoint. The ARS spectrum is
In radio, there are a lot of time-respected traditions. These contests and their rules - for better or worse - are a tradition as well. It seems to this micro-pistol, that the better solution would b
Im hoping to find someone in the Saginaw, MI area to help an older gentlemen ham Ken Louks, WB8REI. He has a Mosley Pro57 sitting on saw horses in his yard. The beams been built up by another ham K0R
Sorry, I wrote Ken's call down wrongly. Appreciate the board's indulgence with the correction. It should be WA8REI 73, Jeff ACØC www.ac0c.com Im hoping to find someone in the Saginaw, MI area to help
Gerry, The overlay is really cool. Any road map to when a filter on the club field would be operating? 73, Jeff ACØC www.ac0c.com Hello fellow Contesters, Are you ready for CQ-WW-SSB? Weather you are
Tim, It's not difficult. And it really opens a huge door from an integration standpoint. Well worth the work. 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie I had decided to work NAQP-CW just f
Keith, I worked the Nigerian station in the ARRL DX CW contest last week. He had a gigantic pileup. I don't have a monster signal - but given the amount of guys who were zero beating on him, I imagin
The specific coupling is going to vary with a ton of factors. But I am sure the C31 is going to be a pretty rough case. 5B4AGN measured coupling between the separate feed configurations and found -12
Actually both are right - the current and the heat are the problem - but they are tied together through the ESR (if specified). The cap has a finite electrical resistance at any given frequency. And
Ergonomics question. Optimal table height? Ive always had shack tables made from whatever I had around. But this time Im building up a table and can pick the height. Of course it depends on what chai
First, I want to thank everyone for their comments. And yes, all the replies were in a narrow range and that's fine. I just wanted to fish around and see if there was some special consideration that
You feed one side of the T with the coax run to the MFJ. You stick the stub on the other side of the T. And the run to the antenna comes off the center of the T. The T and the stub are a set. You can
No need. 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie Thanks Jeff. Yeah, I knew how to use them when actually using them. Just wasn't sure when making the stub with the MFJ if the antenna end
The FD rules specify the rig must be run from a power source other than mains. But how would station accessories (like a power meter used to ensure QRP power compliance, for example) or non-station g
Gerry, Thanks. What is the logic for that? Curious... 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie Except if the computer is used to key the rig, then it has to be on emergency power. If it i
You are right - it's the job of the RX station to get it right. Fortunately, few are going to lose sleep if they don't have KB3LIX in their log. Why? there are tons of hams in your area - and they ar
Im wanting to confirm a 3C0E QSO - but cant get a reply out of EA5BYP or OD5NJ on the published email addresses. Im sure their reply sent back to me was lost in a SPAM filter or some such along the w
If you have a single antenna per band, you can set it up hard coded using whatever method you like. But if you have multiple antennas and want to have touch-control, the Microham stationmaster really
Is there a way to specify a single source skimmer in your RBN feed without using a smart telnet application? Some of the local guys are using HRD and as far as I can tell, the client in that program
