I just talked with the desk clerk at the Bend Shiloh. He told me that there are no more rooms available at the group rate. 73, Paul, K7CW _____________________________________________________________
We had fairly good participation out here despite the fact that there weren't many multipliers to be had. I ended up with 40 Qs and 8 grids. Many out here started an hour late, also. K7CW ___________
Hi Eric, Yikes, you mentioned five of the hardest grids to get from here (CN87). Hope you are able to activate all those rare grids. I will certainly be watching for you and the crew. 73, Paul, K7CW
I wasn't asleep. I got up early, hoping to work you in some of those rare grids. I was particularly hoping to get you in DN02. But, I didn't start to hear scratch from you until DN03, and believe me,
Why not eliminate all potential for cheating by changing the rule to allow non-amateur means for skeds in VHF contests? People at the contest branch have better things to do than monitor Ping Jockey
Tom, Phone calls and other private means used before the contest would also not be public. In this respect, what difference does it make whether the sked is made before or during the contest? There i
I built my old WB5LUA 45-element 23cm loop yagi about 24 years ago. It's been on innumerable roves and mountaintop contest trips. I've had to replace many elements due mostly to the thin aluminum oxy
Hi Everybody, If you worked KL7FF last June and would like a QSL for CO35, you can still get one by sending me your card and an S.A.S.E. 73, Paul, K7CW _______________________________________________
Dear James, I'd advise being calm. As you may (or may not) know, there has been a changing of the guard (probably for the better) at the League Contest Manager's desk. I think everything is going to
-- Maybe she can There is a rule that states that a person may submit only one entry in a contest. I found out the hard way several years ago when I tried to submit 2 entries in a June VHF QSO Party,
For many of us the 7700 and 7800 are not options. But, even if they were, it would be a real decision for me to spend that much more money when my ProIII clearly works very well for me. My only compl
How about this: If he didn't get the grid square in the exchange, what piece of information did he get to qualify it as a QSO, a signal report? If not, does it qualify as being a QSO in the first pla
I messed up my reply to this, so here it is: In the interst of being specific about the topic of using the internet, I ask: May a single op station participating in the June VHF QSO Party use the N0U
I, too, like to use FSK441 and JT65. My question had to do with using the N0UK pages to find out who was operating where (and to determine what operating sequence they were using). For single op unas
Hi Gabor, I like this idea, too. I think it's a good idea to keep it to 2 meters only and to have a more rigorous exchange of reports. I think it is worth trying but... The conditions will vary, depe
Hello All, Tom, N7AMA just told me that he will be operating from DM32 on Saturday afternoon of the CQ WW VHF Contest. Tom also said that he will tentatively be operating from DM46 during the 2009 Ju
Just a short note that it's much better to take larger antennas whenever possible in order to QSO those stations that are at difficult distances. I am at a difficult distance from those grids. Small
Thanks for you note, Hector. I am certain that Tom understands the need to go prepared, as he is a resident of the state of Arizona. By the way, I look forward to working you again in the coming cont
Hello Everyone: As I previously reported, N7AMA will visit DM32 (semi-rare) on Saturday of the CQWW VHF Contest. Tom told me that he hopes to arrive there by 2200 UTC. He says he will stay there as l
