Hi folks, The correct address for ARRL 160 Meter contest logs is 160meter@arrl.org, not 160meters@arrl.org. If you get an "unknown recipient" error on your log email, that is probably the reason. 73,

Instructions for building a switchable "Field Day" stub that reduces interference between stations on 40/20/15/10 are on the Hands-On Radio Web site - http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/Hands-On-Radi
There have been several posts on regional efforts in 160 contests, scoring inequities, etc. While scoring is never going to be a path to the mythical Elysian Level Playing Field, you certainly can re
I suggest the following tests to be done by someone else than me...any of which could give us some anecdotal evidence about trees and RF, at least. Wind a several-turn solenoidal coil with a diameter
This depends on the type of ferrite material. Some are designed for very low loss for use in transformer and inductors. Others are designed to have significant loss characteristics for use as RF abs
This is not rotator bearing rectification, it is the unbypassed rectifiers in the rotator control box. The control cable acts as the antenna, bringing strong local RF into the control box, where the
What would it cost to replace the plasma TV with an LCD version? Then re-sell the plasma TV on eBay? Probably a manageable net cost...agreed that you shouldn't have to bear that burden, but it could
The proper dates for the Stew Perry Warmup are Oct 23-24. The latest Contest Update newsletter contained the week-earlier dates from an un-updated data source - my error for not getting everything 10
On the other hand, if Skimmer spots are fed into the clusters (as they almost surely already are and will be) a few CQ's should get the calling station noticed worldwide in less than a minute. Of co
I suggest having a contest within a contest for the southern hemisphere operators with plaques, certificates, and a separate writeup by a writer from the region on a web site, possibly posted on the
1.1 Antler or 1.1 UPS trucks high - whichever is greater. I don't think anybody has to ask me how I learned this. 73, Ward N0AX _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9
My comments?follow on three topics that have been brought up, ? HFTA - It can import?the elevation angle files generated from IONCAP/VOACAP that Dean N6BV produced. HFTA?does not have an ionospheric
I concur with Tree that it is a good thing having three quite different 160 meter contests in the space of two months (ARRL, Stew, CQ WW) and the ARRL DX Contest if you want to do it as a single-band
An unfortunate cut-and-paste misfire resulted in omitting the RAC Winter Contest and Stew Perry TBDC contests from the lists of upcoming events - I've corrected the online version. The ARRL Letter sh
Perhaps an alternative analogy would be helpful here... Each of the many signals can be imagined as its own phasor. One end of the phasor is anchored on the origin (0 V) and the other is spinning aro
Not by me, I assure you, but several have been reported after this weekend's excellent conditions. Does anyone know of historical clean sweeps of all ARRL/RAC sections in any prior ARRL 160 contests?
Yeah - manual but doable. There are a lot of obviously wrong entries there - like "97" sections. Probably a typo or sections + entities. I'm looking for "83" :-) 73, Ward N0AX http://3830scores.com/l
If the web upload app for log submission finds something in a QSO: line it can't deal with... remove or unclaim them and that is NOT RIGHT! Point of clarification - the app does not really know anyth
If you have any diodes in a switch box or the like, be sure to add a bypass cap across the diode - 0.01 uF will do. Diodes are great harmonic generators (and mixers) and equipment connected to contr
