I didn't see this mentioned, so I will weigh in. First, I always ask "PREC?" but if I am met with deer-in-the-headlights (or dead silence) my #1 go-to question (especially if they are not too strong)
I think I read somewhere that someone has done this. Was it K3LR? W3LPL? Some Finnish or Swedish M/M hams? I can't seem to find it. Where can I get some more info on this practice? I am tossing aroun
Oops-also posted to the tower-talk reflector-which is where this thread belongs. Please ignore here - comment over there if you would like. Tnx B/W (and all the Q's this past w/e) Mike VE9AA Mike, Co
Really enjoyed this video. Setup/contest/video editing all #1 It's easy to see now how I made so many QSO's with your FB team ! Always fast n' loud. Love the SVDA's ;-) Happy Holidays. Until next tim
Hey Scott Personally, I am gg to try and avoid making "overlapping" contacts in both contests, however should you find yourself in that position, here's what I do on casual weekends where there might
Sorry Scott My bad..was typing from memory (wasnt in the shack) Its ALT+F- then 2 (two key strokesnot a combo thereof) What you are doing is going into your recent files (contests) and picking off th
Hey Guys and Gals, I understand the latest NCJ is out. I won't receive my copy up here on the frozen tundra (by dogsled) for many weeks. Can someone please check to see if VE9AA made the Jan 2019 CW
Thanks everyone. I must've overlooked the fact the NCJ web is likely showing the rec'd logs from August. (doh! I'm such a goof....I rarely play in Aug and totally forgot about it when I asked the que
".PEI is a thoroughly delightful place with a couple of big stations. I suspect the real effect will be to make the Maritime section harder to get. It's enough to encourage a road trip to New Brunswi
Although I did not enjoy the slag by Pete, he's actually right. Folks in general (there are exceptions) don't enjoy having to send "MAR" when they could be sending PE, NB or NS, so participation is a
THANK YOU Pete. Your comment wasn't taken to heart and I know you did not mean to insult. You are welcome in NB to operate any time you want. In fact, I encourage fellas to come up to Canada and oper
Seems like you've made up your mind Jim. What can I say? You're 100% right. I don't own any antennas worth mentioning and hardly ever enter any contests. (nor does anyone else up here) Feel better? M
Hey Dave, I love contesting to have a good time and occasionally give out a rare-ISH mult (at times) to the deserving. If I am not having fun, I am not on. (or a minimal effort at best) (same as ever
I take strong issue with this particular statement you are purporting as fact Jim.(the statement from your previous post which I clipped and pasted below) I just uploaded my 2019 logs to clublog.org
p.p.s- Any of you wondering about my facts I quoted below need not even take my word for it. Not at all. Please venture over to VOACAP online and punch in the #'s between VE9 and N. W6 and see for yo
I am certainly not the best CW Op out there..not by a long shot, but I received an email from someone today and this is what I sent them. These suggestions can be used by anyone wanting to do CW bett
There are always challenging sections in Sweepstakes. IIRC, a couple years back in SS CW, I missed Santa Barbara and Nebraska. TIme to delete those sections? 73 Rich NN3W Rich and everyone. My previo
Jeff, Like you, I always work dupes. I work very little RTTY, but in the bigger CW contests, there always seem to be a very small # of EU's that will work me 2, 3 or even 7 times. I can only surmise
I saw reports in late Dec 2019 that the Jan/Feb 2020 issue of my favorite magazine (NCJ) had been rec'd in Florida. Fast forward over 2 weeks and no sign of it yet here in the frozen wasteland of New
Thanks everyone for the many private emails. Just arrived today. I'm stoked. Can't wait to get readin' my favorite magazine later tonight. Mike VE9AA Mike, Coreen & Corey Keswick Ridge, NB From: Mike
