Sent a note as soon as I saw it on the ARRL website. As I said to him, for several years now WA50 has been my "go to" spot when a new issue comes. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by
Finally, some guidance on entering multiple grids into a TQSL "Location". Stolen from http://www.arrl.org/vucc Apologies if this has been posted before! LoTW and Grid Squares Your grid square is iden
Exactly right, Hector. I add K3LA from this weekend, and 4B2S, XE1GZU, AA7A, K7MY, W6IZT, K0COM, KE4YZN, K8DXR, K5DNL, NT0V from other times to your list. All were kind enough to confirm via LOTW, bu
AA7A K0COM K5DNL K7MY K8DXR KE4YZN W6IZT XE1GZU WB9TFH Added one but removed three! Thanks to those ops for updating their TQSL location info and re-uploading their 6-m QSOs!! Still need three more c
WB9TFH was kind enough to fix his TQSL location and re-upload! A few more came in as well - now stuck at 99! :-D -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! ___________________________
I've used N1MM for year. Great logging program. Rather than have the computer figure out who I am talking to I have this neat thing I do instead: I listen very carefully to the other station and type
This was hammered home to me in one of the contests where the exchange is the first name, NAQP maybe? Anyway, conditions were marginal and I kept repeating my name "PETER PETER PAPA ECHO TANGO ECHO R

I didn't realize KML was so XML/HTML-y. The "ML" wasn't enough of a clue for me, apparently. :-) Actually, I guess I usually see KMZ, which I'm sure you will now tell me is simply compressed KML. Wha
Midday Saturday to late evening Sunday ... :-) Has everyone prayed to the gods of the E-layer for some ionization this weekend? -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! ____________
Ignoring the "programming requirements" for LOTW (which is in need of a ground-up re-write, but never mind that) ... this is where a lot of the 6-and-up crowd fall down. I've got nearly 200 grids wor
KE4YZN K8DXR AA7A K7MY These ops were kind enough to upload to LOTW but don't have their grid entered in their Station Location within TQSL. If any of you know them, please let them know of the overs
And therein lies the problem ... (I haven't either) "I'm not dead yet!" Paper issue continues, digital "CQ Plus" which includes CQ-VHF, Popular Communications, and Worldradio will be available to sub
So are you trying to say you don't want *my* 60-lb box of QSTs? :-) Those, I gave away, as you did, to new hams. W2NSD (Wayne Green) died not too long ago ... -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net
Hmm. Hadn't looked at it that way. Pick it up occasionally on the newsstand, but that's it. Likewise with Pop'Comm. Even though I'm a League Lifer, there is value in having a not-QST around. And if t
We were just discussing this very thing over on the RTTY list, just on HF. With the silent modes like the JT stuff, it's really important to know where the various modes hang out. And no, the ARRL ba
My biggest thrill in radio came the other summer when I worked the east coast and up into Ontario on 2 SSB. I was especially excited since I only have 100 W and an ancient Cushcraft 10 el beam on an
Maybe so. We had a university club meeting the other day and there was a new kid there (who I need to get the manual to, come to think of it) and we were all talking (while eating Mexican food comple
*Easily* 90% of the QSOs made above 50 MHz are also made below 54 MHz (yes, I'm ignoring FM). If there is activity you have been involved in above that, you should submit it to N0JK - he'll print it.
This is "get off my lawn territory". I'm sure the next thing will be that it was those "damn no-coders" that ruined everything. I wish this thread had started before our club meeting last Saturday be
