I only moved to Delaware a little more than a year ago, but I had the pleasure of operating the 2008 CQ WW CW at Dallas's multiop setup. He and I visited since and kept in touch a bit since, and I wa
I can assure all who are interested that self-contained, easy-to-use, external catheter (also called "Texas catheter") urine-collection systems are readily available without a doctor's prescription.
While OO reports carry no official FCC weight, the Commission does take them into consideration, especially in the case of flagrant or ongoing violations. The FCC no longer takes the hard-nose stance
Amen, Gerry! SS CW is my all-time favorite Amateur Radio operating event, and, unlike the routine 599 + zone kinds of contests (where the logging software often inserts the probable zone), it require
The rare section from Delaware (well, at least for me) was NL. Never heard any of the "regulars" from that part of Canada. I worked VY1EI after waiting in line for what seemed like an eternity. Tree,

It's really sad (to me) that some contest rules seem to be in a never-ending state of flux in a vain effort to outmaneuver those who would game the system. This is a hobby, and it's supposed to be fu
I agree with Bob. I enjoy 160 a lot, but my setup is quite modest, and working any DX is a treat. The US covers a lot of geographical territory, and working the West Coast from Delaware can be a chor
Today's electronics - including some devices you wouldn't typically consider as noise sources - can generate lots of QRM. When we lived in Massachusetts, our then-recent model (2000 model year) Kenmo
I've used Prolific and Belden serial to USB adapters without problems for RTTY and rig control. Don Hill, AA5AU, has information about this on his RTTY page, http://www.aa5au.com/gettingstarted/rtty_

In the RTTY Round-Up I had N1MM tell me the station I worked was a dupe. Well, I made a note of it (like, on paper), because I didn't believe I'd worked that one on 15 previously. Turns out that the
Jul/Julius is correct. A practice that seems especially prevalent among non-US/VE stations is to set up the logging software to do an online lookup and insert whatever appears as your given name on y
What's rare to Delaware stations in contests like SS are NT, ND, NL and DE. We're pretty much in the same boat as everyone else. VT and RI are not usually that rare from here. I had an easier time
Just when did ham radio contesting stop being about having fun? Yep! Not me! Me too! Yep! My solution has been to redefine my participation. It's working for me. 73, Wayne, N7NG Jackson Hole And of c
Jim, your posting raises some valid issues. I certainly hope that the CQ Contest Committee does not determine that the best approach to head off prospective cheating in the single op category would b
Following up on this thread, which already has generated considerable comment: Shelby makes a valid point, which others - including a major contest sponsor's representative I consulted - have support
No need to purchase the Icom level converter for $129. I'm controlling my Icom IC-756PROIII using a REMOTE jack to USB port cable made in China that I purchased on eBay for about $15 including shippi
Hi, Bob In case no one else has mentioned it, N6TR maintains an excellent Web page on TS-850 mods, repairs and hints at http://n6tr.jzap.com/850repair.html. I had a TS-850S/AT that I bought new on sa
