Hi everyone. I hope all Texas contesters (and beyond?) will consider coming to the CTDXCC's contester's meeting in Central Texas on July 23rd. A web page has been set up to help those of you who migh
The Texas Contester's Meeting is fast approaching. The meeting is at the K5NA station starting at 1:00PM on Sunday, July 23rd and anyone remotely interested in contesting is invited to attend. So far
I didn't work Pete and I must have had something else going on that weekend because I had only 9 QSOs on CW right at the end of the contest on 80 and 40 meters (But I had 241 QSOs on SSB). For memory
Susan and I want to thank everyone for the good turnout for the Contester's meeting on Sunday. I saw many old friends that I hadn't seen in a while. Also thanks to our many presenters: W5ASP gave us
I just don't understand this thread. Are your amplifiers big enough? Do you have enough antenna choices? Do you need more towers? Do you have any more antennas for me to build? Is it time to get new
Before anyone starts breathing heavy over this, I suggest that you check the rules for the Texas QSO Party at www.txqp.org. Look at rule 2. Packet spotting is not only allowed but encouraged for the
I also sent my 10M log in and never got a response from the robot. But I am in the logs received list OK, so I am not worrying about it. But something is, or was, wrong with the robot's response syst
Are you saying that using packet is the same thing as your wife bringing you a sandwich. Sorry, I just don't see that. The trouble is that this subject can be nitpicked to death. There are just too m
Barry, it was not my hyperbole, but rather, a question to get clarification of what you said before. Now I am reading that you think that all guest operators would have to be classified as "assisted"
If a 36 hour rule is enforced, what category will I be placed in when I operate for more than 36 hours? I suppose it would have to be M/M category. And I guess this is a good way to get more M/M entr
I just received the plaque for single-band 10M in the 2004 WPX CW Contest. I want to say thank you to the person (or persons) who provide the "Bernie Welch, W8IMZ Memorial" plaque. I am not sure who
I just received the plaque for single-band 10M in the 2005 WPX CW Contest. This was received less than a month after receiving a plaque for the 2004 contest. I want commend the CQ WPX sponsors for th
Hello. I would like to get in contact with any hams or contesters in the Algeciras, Spain or Gibraltar area. Please contact me off-line. Thanks. 73, Richard - K5NA ___________________________________
I noticed that about 80% (maybe even more) of my callers called me 50 to 250 cycles higher than my signal. It got to the point, that during a CQ, I would always set my RIT to 100 cycles above my call
The only way to avoid this problem is for the S/P guy to send your call when he comes back and gives you his exchange. It is simple enough to do in CT or Writelog (and probably other software) by jus
If you look at the rules for the CQWW 160M Contest, there is nothing in the rules about self-spotting, etc. This might be an oversight. Actually, the only thing that remotely addresses this action is
Huh? Is this some kind of joke? Look at my ARRL Phone post on 3830. 73, Richard - K5NA (in Central Texas) _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting
My XYL (K5DU) and I drove by this same spot last June and I would like to know the answer too. 73, Richard - K5NA _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@co
I agree with Jim on this one. When we start cutting back on contest time to fit our aging sleep cycle, it is admitting that the end of contesting is at hand. When I hit 100 years of age, I want the W
What Tree says pretty well sums up my own feelings about the skimmer. I don't think it is much different, technologically, as the advancement contesters made to two radio contesting. It is still, bas
