That's perhaps only partially true. K7GM has resigned as the logchecker for the SSB Sprints. Rick started the contest and has been the only logchecker in its 18 year history. There is currently no vo
The real problem here is that people are simply starting to send too soon before you're back into receive. This is truly a pet peeve with me, and I've had to suppress the urge to write a letter to QS
Richard, Its pretty clear to me - that's assisted operating. Not any wiggle room at all... Dave/K8CC -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: cq-contest
On the contesting schedule for this weekend is the 2001 MICHIGAN QSO PARTY, sponsored by the Mad River Radio Club. This event offers an exciting operating exercise over a Saturday without tying up an
WPX CW hurt more than anything else by the fact that it on Memorial Day weekend. I'm single, so I'm the only one who has to approve my operating the contest, but its real hard to roust up a multi-ope
One aspect of state QSO parties are the mobile rover stations that go from county to county. For the 2001 Michigan QSO Party there will be several full-time mobile rovers on the air from the followin
A final reminder, the 2001 Michigan QSO Party, sponsored by the Mad River Radio Club, will run this Saturday, April 21 from noon to midnight EDST (16Z on April 21 until 04Z on April 22 UTC). Full rul
Ken, My reading of the rules is that any station in the TS category is allowed a tribander, and a single wire antenna for the low bands, and that's it. This is a unique characteristic of the TS class
The Mad River Radio Club is one of thirteen clubs in the USA selected to nominate candidates for captains of the USA teams going to WRTC-2002 in Finland. MRRC will be pleased to consider candidates w
Unfortunately, my schematic capture program is DOS-based and I can't find a way to convert the output into something modern. However, for what Rex needs, a text description will do: DB9 DB25 dot 8 5
I've been doing SO2R since 1981 and have tried almost every imaginable layout. Several technology milestones have affected this: - In 1981 I was using Drake C-Lines, which complicated the station lay
The Mad River Radio Club is pleased to announce that the captain for its team at WRTC 2000 will be Tim Mitchell, K9TM. For his teammate, Tim has selected Steve London, N2IC. Tim has had considerable
I have to concur with Bruce, ZF2NT. DX is relative, so at one time or another we all are DX. IF we are to accept the concept of a DX window, exactly *WHERE* is it? For many years it was 1825-1830. Th
One of the K8CC operators, Dennis, KT8X (ex-HL9JZ) is going to be in China on business for Ford over the weekend. Through contacts at the plant, he has been communicating with the BY4AA ops and has b
I have to agree wholeheartedly with K0HB's recent note about sportsmanship in contesting, and how the concept of "radiosport" describes what many of us aspire to in our competitive radio endeavors. I
Most of the commercially available band pass filters are not going to do you any good between phone and CW in a single band because these are designed for full band coverage. Back in th early seventi
I agree that new categories will inspire more stations to get on the air in SS. I also wholeheartedly agree with my good friend K9TM that SS is not broke, and that a lot of people clamoring for chang
Re: the first sentence in my earlier post - I do NOT agree that more categories will increase activity in SS. That should have been obvious from the rest of the post. I gotta proofread better. K8CC -
In my view, this would make WPX even less interesting. By working new mults on every band, virtually every QSO would be a new multiplier, so there would be no reason to look for mults, or even strate
