Try to work Alex in FM14!!! It's lonely down there (trust me...I know!!) Bill W3IY Hello out there: I will be in FM14 for the next week. See you on 50 thru 1296 mhz- incl. 903) 73 Alex -- StripMime R
Hi Mark, Yes, I think it's allowed...beware, however of the RFI generated by multiple transmitters housed within a single vehicle. Lot's of multiops are still fighting this problem, and they are much
Definitely 222! At least in my area, there are more QSO-points possible. In the Sept contest, I had 252 QSO points vs 219 on 1296. I think 1296 is more fun, but 222 never ceases to amaze me. Even wit
Had fun in the sprint. Condx seemed up slightly, but then again, I didn't work any 700+Km DX like I did last nite on 222 whilst looking for the missing K8TQK net.(WA1MKE/9 EN70). (While the Au was ta
The Microwave (902 Mhz and above) Sprint will be from 6 AM to 1 PM local time on Saturday October 12, 2002. Don't be late (or early...) We may get out for practice for Microwave Activity Days, Ocrobe
Hey Guys, While I agree, that it's nice to see your call in the magazine, let's not forget that the biggest problem we are facing is dropping activity. We all need to try hard to help potential newco
Yo, I am planning to operate the microwave sprint this Sat. I'll be operating from W4RX in FM19bb, and should have most bands running. Planning to start @ 0600. Hope to pass out many uWave QSOs from
Yo, We may have some problems on 2m tomorrow, so be sure to listen after your QSOs on 903 & up for tail-enders... We'll be calling lots on 33cm. 73, Bill W3IY
Yo, The microwave sprint was fun, and activity was decent, although conditions were even worse than the Sept contest. There wasn't much signal strength coming in from far-out. K2SMN coulndn't even he
Hey guys, Please dont forget to send in your sprint logs. It's the least we can do for these awesome SVHFS guys who were willing to coordinate these mini-contests. They're due 4 weeks after the parti
Yo, Don't forget that this Saturday is November Activity Days. W3IY & ON1CFX will be roving some hills in the FM08/ FM19 region for all the pileups on the bands thru 24/47 GHz. We'll be sniffing arou
Just a few more thoughts about activity. I know we all have opinions about this subject, but we each need to choose a method, and try to execute. Here's my thoughts, after hearing K1TEOs great talk.
I agree with Russ. It's a crying shame how many microwave QSOs have been lost since limited-multi came into "vogue". I think multis who used to be on higher bands, and have now removed them need to r
I just wanted to say thanks to all the stations who worked us in the contest. It was really fun, despite the poor propagation. Rather than post my usual excessive scribe, you can click here if you ar
Ok Guys, Here's on unofficial reminder about the 432 sprint coming up on Wednesday night. It's 7-11pm. This is the gateway to the microwaves, so you should check to make sure you are solid on this ba
Yo, I think a lot of us are missing the point about VHF+ activity. As several have mentioned, the secret is for each of us who care, to try and be a little more active, and to communicate the fun of
Listening from FM19...activity good. Hearing & working guys from FM06 through FN31. If you are reading this, you should get on 222 before 11pm. Make some racket, and listen hard. GL & 73, Bill W3IY
Yo, The 222 sprint was well worth participating in here in the DC area. While activity was definitely concentrated in the 1st hour, there were new stations coming thru the noise all evening. Lots of
