I have an informal Competition with a ham who lives on the East Coast (Richmond, VA). I live in the Midwest (Chicago Northern Suburbs). In last weeks CQ WW DX SSB contest, he outdid me with many more
Ray, some thoughts... Are you both using the same spot source? By that I mean are you both connected to the same telnet station? Not all telnet stations are interconnected so it is possible that you

Hi Ray, I'm by no means a propagation expert, as has been frequently pointed out by others when I post, but: Location makes a big difference. Libertyville, IL 42N 88W Richmond, VA 38

When you say he had 94 mor multipliers than you on 10M.....since I only had a total of 95 multipliers on 10M and I did pretty well in the contest, how many multipliers total did you and your friend g
And 10M propagation is extremely dependent on location of both stations, much more so than on lower HF bands. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C
Hello I was happy with short opening from LN8W to US & Canada on 31th oct - had nice rate for 3-4 hour We used 3 stack of OB21-6 Best Regards, Stein-Roar Brobakken srb@lb3re.com LB3RE LC0X K3RAG Skyp
Hi Lacy, You're right, it's often better to be in Western EU to work US but it's better for central EU to work Asia/JA so... You should read the 9A1UN's comment operating 9A1P on 15m during the last
Dimitry, 9A is for us not central Europe. Easy to compare: OM2VL 4x 6 ele. Vertical stack ( highest antenna on 33 m ) and second direction 6 el. Yagi 2734 QSO's 9A1P 1 Yagi antenna on small 12 m towe

The distance from OM2VL to 9A1P is about 215 miles. If your contention is that those two locations are not comparable, then -no- QTHs are comparable - ever. OM2VLs QTH is also 265 miles from DL2ARD w

"the problem is often between the chair and the transceiver" Yes of course this top contester told the true, I agree, but there is the word: often... With respect of top contester, I admire lot's of
Depending upon the band and the quirks of propagation, 200 miles can indeed be significant. I live about 200 miles south-southeast of Phoenix, Arizona where the bulk of the membership of the contes
To have a look at some hypotheticals - Have a look at the Reverse Beacon Network on http://www.reversebeacon.net/analysis/ I did a comparison between the top three Zone 5 Stations in the CQWW 2020 an
