I do have one question about the open logs: A couple of weeks ago we have a long discussion about all of the problems with contesting (especially roving) with everyone saying we need open access to l
I agree with the statements about "cheating" "the intent of the rules" and so forth and how open logs won't stop it, but I for one do not especially want open logs for each contest. 3 main reasons wh
Buck, You address another objection I had about open logs, but forgot to write-they open up all sorts of witchhunts. We already have the rover witchhunts going on because someone won a contest in a w
No kidding. How many people have actually given up roving or contesting because of grid circling? I know going into every contest that I am not going to win, regardless of my category. Should I then
Well one man's boredom is another man's excitement. I personally find APRS about as exciting as watching the paint dry but it seems to be what the rest of the local ham community here lives for. 73s
I have for sale an Icom 7000 HF/6m/2m/70cm tranceiver in excellent condition. This radio is about 1 year old and works perfectly. It does 100 watts on HF and 6m, 50 watts on 2m, and 35 watts on 70cm.
They were in a recent issue of CQ magazine. 73s John AA5JG _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/
Does anyone on the list know who the operator(s) were for 4U1UN in the 1992 June VHF contest, or who might have the logs for that operation? Still hoping for a 4U QSL on 6m for a new DXCC confirmatio
I hope I can get some clarification or advise from list members on this. I have a Cushcraft A50-3S 3 element 6m yagi and am getting ready to do a little antenna work this week. Currently I have the c
I have a very good condition yaesu FT100D HF/6m/2m/70cm all mode rig (2002 serial number) for sale. It comes with the mic, power cord changed over to power poles, a spare power cord with power poles,
The Gamma match for my Cushcraft A50-3S finally dried out so it is now resonanting on 6m again (it was detuned by the rain we had). I am now thinking of waterproofing the match so this doesn't happen
HERE WE GO AGAIN! And what is the defined "spirit of the rules"? That is a pretty subjective term as everyone has their own opinion as to the spirit of the rules. Obviously the ARRL doesn't believe t
Or you can start your own contest with the rules that you want. 73s John AA5JG _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.con
Not if the VHF newcomber buys a used FT736R with the 6m and 222 modules installed in it. Had an identical setup myself once. 73s John AA5JG _______________________________________________ VHFcontesti
Welcome to the dumbing down of ham radio. Been going on since 1991 now. 73s John AA5JG _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://l
So taking off times from operating violates the spirit of the rules and should be discouraged or penalized?? Guess I better tell that to the XYL next time she plans a date during the VHF contest. 73s
I understand the argument of why it is a problem, I just don't agree with that argument. I am one rover who doesn't agree that it is a problem. I guess if you have a "win at all cost" mentality, it m
Let's see, if I need to be competitive to enjoy a contest, I would need to: 1. Move-aren't going to win anything from Southwest Oklahoma, there just isn't the activity. 2. Divorce the wife and leave
If they were using FM HTs they were probably working as many stations as possible given their setup. When the ARRL starts demanding that you need a certain type of station to contest, we are in a lot
Having 6m and 2m Es for the majority of the contest would probably do it for a rover. 73s JOhn AA5JG _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contestin
