Since no one answered your query... Are you saying you're not familiar with the math and need some assistance with it, or are you looking for a definitive answer as to how much loss your particular b
Also keep in mind that they BACK their products with repairs, parts, and generally do a GREAT job of customer service for customers who bought the products in the past. It's hard to quantify that aga
You guys are dancing around a VERY controversial option with "undocumented" participants... think about this one (just for discussion's sake): If some guy doesn't send in a log, all contacts with tha
EXTREMELY hard to quantify other than to just show you my numbers for out here in Rocky Mtn Division, Steve. (For 2006 & 2007. I couldn't rove this year in June.) I can e-mail you the logs off-list i
Tee hee... I think Duffey wants me to get my butt in the Jeep and go out in January more often. We'd BOTH have more fun that way, I know... but freezing my giblets off in a Jeep parked in a snowbank
Okay guys, you all do realize that this statement was said in jest, right? :-) I didn't make it real obvious because I wanted to pull a few chains. I suppose that wasn't nice, but anyway... Rules cha
Your wife's thought got me to playing with numbers... U.S. Population (July 2007): 301,139,947 Licensed Hams in the U.S.: 722,330 (2007) Licensed Pilots in the U.S.: 597,109 (end of 2006 - includes s

Good summary, that about covers everything I've seen for years, other than the one thing I keep reminding folks of... 927.5 is not legal in parts of Colorado and Wyoming. We tend to use something els
Yep, even though we can't use 927.5 here in Colorado, plenty of activity takes place on VHF contest weekends on other 900 MHz FM simplex frequencies. Same thing with 223.5 -- lots of people have that
Did you mean 902.1? I didn't see it, but there may have been a typo in someone's message. Commonly used frequencies for SSB are 902.100 and 903.100 -- not 902.010 as is in your subject line here. Nat
I've met plenty of hams who couldn't tell 3(!)dB of loss when they heard it. LOL! (GRIN)... I didn't have the heart to ask if they actually had real hearing loss, or not. ;-) -- Nate Duehr, WY0X nate
What is interesting about this e-mail chain is that people seem to be "discovering" these mathmatical relationships between our bands... That were always there to begin with. It was for this very rea
Wow, Dave sounds like he's been through exactly the same path I have. Same tools and all. The only difference is that if I can, I like using "well-known brand name" crimp connectors... any of the wel

Isn't NOT whining about losing the first thing most of us teach children participating in sporting events, as part of their learning to be "good sports"? -- Nate Duehr, WY0X nate@natetech.com _______
Your 10m rig would have to be VERY frequency stable to pull off 10m to 10GHz. My 144MHz to 10GHz stuff drifts significantly when moved from shade to full sun during June. Maybe not in January?! (GRIN
I agree with your analysis of the current situation, as dumb as it may be. He'll have to throw away all those contacts or get paper QSL's from the other station for them. We've been waiting for VUCC
