Charly, I can speak for everyone, but DX has never been America-centered to me. If I hear a European call CQ DX, I sometimes reply since I consider myself the DX for him/her. When I was stationed in
Great issue of this magazine. A few years back I found this particular issue on eBay and now have it as part of my memorabilia collection. I believe I paid something like $3.50 for it plus shipping a
Randy, Our little group follow the old way of operating. Only one transmitter...we do occasionally listen on the 2nd VFO...but have never used more than one transmitter. After some discussion we foun
Jim, I agree....have been using ACLog for almost 10 years. Every now and then I get the urge to try something else, but after trying it I keep coming back to ACLog. The simplicity is awesome...and it
Hear, hear. Well said....plus points for my club. 73 Jeff K3OQ -- Jeff Embry, K3OQ FM19nb ARCI #11643, FPQRP #-696, QRP-L # 67, NAQCC #25, ARS #1733 AMSAT LM-2263 -- WWWDWOA? (What Would We Do Withou
I agree with Bob and Rex, but for some odd reason I don't mind a cut number 0 (T) if they are beginning with a SN like 001. My mind can handle that...but once past 100 I like, and expect to hear no c
Sorry for the bandwidth, but my fiance, her daughter and I will be in San Diego from Aug. 14-18 and are looking for reasonably priced accomodations so we can attend her sons graduation from Sonar Tec
Nah....leave the can sealed. Not worth the energy expended, nor the agony. 73, Jeff K3OQ -- Jeff Embry, K3OQ FM19nb ARCI #11643, FPQRP #-696, QRP-L # 67, NAQCC #25, ARS #1733 AMSAT LM-2263 -- WWWDWOA
So proud of ya Art. Something for me and my modest apartment station and long wire to strive for. I know it will be tough! LOL 73 Jeff K3OQ -- Jeff Embry, K3OQ FM19nb ARCI #11643, FPQRP #-696, QRP-L
I guess I feel fortunate. I don't care much for SS and get on so as to help my Contesting Club. Because of that, I will probably never come close to the time limit...so I ain't gonna worry about it.
I give them 4 QSO. Sticking around just to find out they would be a dupe is painful. 73, Jeff K3OQ -- Jeff Embry, K3OQ FM19nb ARCI #11643, FPQRP #-696, QRP-L # 67, NAQCC #25, ARS #1733 AMSAT LM-2263
Makes sense. They should be maximizing the Q count rather than contesting. But, it would be neat as heck to work them for PAC. 73 Jeff K3OQ -- Jeff Embry, K3OQ FM19nb ARCI #11643, FPQRP #-696, QRP-L
That's odd Ed, For the limited amount of time I was on (roughly 15 hours) I noticed a marked improvement in stations IDing. Of the three listed below, I VP2MMM IDed about every 3 to 4 QSOs, or at lea
In the short time I was on (3 hours...maybe), had two folks (STX and SCV sections) tell me that they were getting tired of hearing MDC. 73, Jeff K3OQ -- Jeff Embry, K3OQ FM19nb ARCI #11643, FPQRP #-6
I can't speak for others, but I will say watching the scores will be my way of participating this weekend as I will not be able to play due to recovering from surgery that is scheduled for Friday. So
All, It seems that this topic comes up quite frequently. Makes me wonder if anyone is having FUN contesting. If not, then why contest? I feel that there is enough latitude and variety in categories i
Charly, It would be interesting to see what your LCR(s) says to verify your claims. 73, Jeff K3OQ -- Jeff Embry, K3OQ FM19oc ARCI #11643, FPQRP #-696, QRP-L # 67, NAQCC #25, ARS #1733 AMSAT LM-2263 -
I tend to agree with Steve. Although it isn't 100% I do believe that BMI is over-rated. After my last physical (I'm 57), my doctor is telling me that better indicators are resting heart rate and SPO2
