Skimmer data makes click-and-pounce a viable strategy for having fun. So, let's say that you're running, and I'm clicking. The next spot on my click-list is W6LL. I click, and immediately see printed
I just checked my cluster logs. Over 1000 spots for M7T appear from RTTY skimmers feeding the RBN. -- Michael Adams | N1EN | mda@n1en.org --Original Message de G3YYD-- In the recent CQWPXRTTY no skim
In the past, when I've had problems with a pointer being twitchy, it's been some combination of a need to clean the gadget, system load, and/or RF getting in the way. I'm using a Logitech cordless tr
Re. "where are all the techs": At least within the VE team I help out with, a few years ago, a number of folks sitting for Tech were doing so for CERT or CERT-like purposes. Now, a majority of the fo
Perhaps that's one of the reasons someone (formerly?) at the FCC speculated on eventually only having one license class. Personally, I view the proposed expansion of privileges as one possible respon
I never click on links in email, but if there's an explanation of what the link is, I might transcribe it into a browser (although perhaps a dumb text-only browser if I'm skeptical). -- Michael Adams
The last time I rewrote my collection of RTTY contest macros (about a year ago?), I thought that the consensus on best practice was to use CRLF's sparingly, only at the start of a CQ, in order to be
Today, skimmers report once every 10 minutes while a station is detected running. I wonder, if that logic were tweaked to adjust that window to report "every 10 minutes or after another station has b

Strangely, I went the other direction, from 3 to 2, and didn't see too much of an increase in requests for repeats (I'm always LP). I end up doing something like this: 599 001 001 N1EN AGN? 001 001 0

Has anyone checked the satellite photos recently to see if Scarborough Reef has grown into an island? (Note: in the interest of keeping amateur radio and politics separate, I explicitly am not expres
Note this paragraph: "12. While we tentatively conclude that a specific bandwidth limitation for RTTY and data emissions in the MF/HF bands is not necessary, we nonetheless request comment on whether
Just to repeat and expand upon something I wrote earlier: The FCC's comments make pretty clear that they accept the arguments for removing the symbol rate limit, and that they think that removing the
I'm certainly not the right person to suggest a detailed technical argument. I'm more of an appliance operator...but I do have experience from my day job in getting the attention of legislators and r
While there's no doubt that fast data would help Winlink, there are at least two other groups that perceive a benefit: 1. Emcomm folks chimed in during the initial comment period on interoperability
