Hi folks, I've been playing in the NAQP I am wondering how to properly get a run going. I have tried sitting on a frequency and calling CQ. Never got more than 1 contact. So what should I be doing Ti

Tim, general answer is BE MUCH LOUDER, have a desirable call sign, and be spotted. Today's contests "runners" have a massive ERP with big amps and stacked yagis, have well-known call signs (or are in

That's pretty much what you have to do, but success depends on lots of things, like the strength of your signal relative to others and to other folks noise level, band conditions, and QRM. The best p

Call CQ. Too many people just "search and pounce" in contests. Kind of like on this reflector, where there are supposedly 1500 "subscribers" but only a couple dozen who post anything. K1TN __________

Depending on where you live and the band, that might not help! For example, 1500 W and 6/6 is not enough to run stations on 15M during Sweepstakes from my area of the country. There is just too big

I concur with a lot of the comments so far. Having a good signal is important but there are a few other things I have learned over the years. Some of them are: 1) "Sound Loud" when running. Sometimes

To answer your questions My antenna was a 125 ft dipole up 40 ft Fed and tuned how ? How high are the ends ? Done right, this can be an excellent antenna. Done wrong, this makes a poor dummy load. 73

Use crisp calls. If I'm doing search/pounce I blow right by anyone making long calls or waiting long periods between calls. During peak periods it's typically faster (and much less annoying) to go fi

Tim, That explains a lot. 20 meters is rarely a good running band from Ohio, and from what I heard from here in New Jersey, that was true this weekend. Listen to where you hear relatively loud signal

How could this be made into an excellent 20m antenna? It will have very deep nulls (30dB+) and super high SWR, plus likely high feedline loss. A 32' dipole would be a better antenna. John KK9A Fed an

You should be looking at the K1AR CQWW CW contest results over the past 10+ years. I believe that John has nothing more than a center-fed dipole, fed with open-wire, and using a real Johnson antenna

I'd be very surprised if many serious contesters were using a single wire antenna fed with ladder line on all bands as a primary TX antenna, for exactly the reasons John cites. My advice is to work t
