I finally looked at this. I would support this if it did not include digital privileges for Technicians (and the 27 remaining Novices). If that single portion -- absent from ARRL's bulletin -- were r
You've missed the point completely. There is no justification for giving Technicians (or the 12,891 remaining Novices) Data privileges on 80 m or anywhere else (they already have it on every band 10
You're right. Open all the bands and all the modes. Can we at least give them a hard test first? Clearly, none of you have read through the question and answer pools since you last took a test. If we
OK, so you haven't looked at the post 2000 test Q&A pools. Mythology. Pretty much the wave of the past at this point. People have been doing this for 20 years, maybe more. Technicians (and the 12,891
I have not had the opportunity to be near enough to my radio to do this, but I plan to. Enlightening! Thanks from me, too! -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _________________
I never understand this. To my knowledge, no operators are required to participate in this or any other contest. If the rules aren't to an operator's liking ... they shouldn't participate. It's prett
I agree wholeheartedly as above and when I'm CQing, I don't want a potential caller that tuned across my signal mid-transmission to have to wonder if I'm answering a CQ, answering a caller, or CQing.
340 is top of the Honor Roll *now*, but in a few hours you'll only need 339 ... AFAIK, this isn't new - I don't believe Deleted Entities have never counted for DXCC Honor Roll (nor the much newer DXC
Some confusion over Deleteds. K3UR has the history of the DXCC Honor Roll in the July 2013 "How's DX?" Deleteds started in 1962 and 'sometime after that', HR status was conferred when your total got

Pretty much the same relationship as between the IC-746Pro (IC-7400 in some markets) and the IC-756Pro-something (I think it was closest to the Pro "I" - the 746 never got a II or III) - RTTY decode
Funny you mention that - I got an Icom mic for my HT from a fellow in Japan (via Amazon) for MUCH cheaper than any domestic vendor. Shipping was clearly via a slow boat from Japan, but no matter. Muc

Anyone done one? Surely there is variation between the different (and wildly overpriced) interfaces. Anyone quantified it? I mean, isolation transformers and relays and whatnot probably don't have a
No, no, no. Not going there. I read your page but I still think they are overpriced! Regardless, I will probably get another. Which is why I'm trying to find out who has the best sound processor. --
Let me reiterate this again ... I'm interested in an evaluation of the sound processor in the various interfaces. Those can be evaluated without regard to people's tastes. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | pla

A couple observations. 1) Makrothen is distance based and ZS is kinda off in a corner by itself (density of hams wise) so most of your QSOs will be worth more points for both ends making you desirabl
