I've been very please with the Dunestar filters, both at my previous station in Illinois and also in Aruba. I have used them with various antennas, some with less than perfect SWR, and I would defini
I agree that the Dunestar filters don't like to be used on the upper end of 80m phone. I've used them that in that range and my transceiver just cut back on output due to the high SWR from the filter
Writelog will work with other hex ranges. I have a computer with LPT1 (0378) and LPT2 (D400) and I can access both parallel ports with Writelog using XP Professional. John KK9A ______________________
CQ WW does have a lot of sponsors, unfortunately you picked a category without one. K1AR does an excellent job sending out plaques in a timely manner. John KK9A / P40A I Received a Certificate for CW
I agree that you should work the dupes. It is fast, harmless and it can do some good if the previous QSO was a bust. I accidentally duped one well known highly skilled operator this weekend and he si
If you're referring to the WPX Phone contest, CN3A does not appear on the latest summary. http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/3830/2007-04/msg00070.html [CQ-Contest] Moroccan Mystery from [Dav
I quickly glanced at my log checking report for the ARRL DX Phone contest and I see that a number of U.S. contacts were removed from my log due to the callsigns not being issued. According to the FCC
The baggage charges lately are really high. In March, I spent days packing, weighing, giving away and selling items and re-packing, throwing things away and re-packing again when coming home from Aru
Back in 1979 JA3ODC had a 480 / hour rate in CQWW SSB. I don't believe anyone has ever exceeded this rate, although N5TJ tied it in the 2004 CQ WW SSB. John KK9A / P40A Hi, I have a question for old
I remember not long ago CQ was years behind in sending out plaques. Now they are shipped in a timely manner and I wish to thank everyone involved for doing a great job. I am sure that there are some
I imagine that a lot of casual operators cannot quickly change bands and may not have much interest in doing so at the moment you sent your QSY request. Perhaps you could just send QRV 28.025, etc oc
His callsign is KF2O. Maybe he would have worked more stations last weekend if he sent his call. I thought that DX participation was fantastic in the ARRL DX Phone contest, even with the disturbed co
The assisted category plaques and certificates would be unclaimed. What is the downside of nobody using cluster spots in contests? 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Cont
I view the WPX contest as a DX contest with the added benefit of being able to work local stations. There are few slow periods, especially for single ops who can only operate for 36 hours. There are
Will contacts with my own country count for 3 points? VE5ZX, N2MG and I have just published an article outlining our plans for a 24-Hour Challenge, to be run concurrently with the CQWW CW and SSB con
If you want to compare apples to apples, WX3B had 22,384,128 pts and NQ4I had 22,326,304 pts. The U.S. M/M category was a very close race and you could have won with a few more more high band QSOs. I
Be careful what you wish for. If you take away the low band incentive, you will be very lonely on 80m. Even with the double points, as a single op in WPX I rarely go to 80m. John KK9A / P40A After re
I think if you are calling CQ at 20 wpm people should answer you at that speed. If they call you at a much higher speed it is just rude. If you call someone, they assume that you were already able to
You're lucky the station did not use all cut numbers for 50 and sent E T . -- Original Message -- From: Georgek5kg@aol.com To: john@kk9a.com ; cq-contest@contesting.com Cc: hs0zcw@gmail.com Sent: Thu
The rule stating call sign must indicate country was removed. How are you supposed to know what country a station is in if you are operating unassisted? Only the zone information is given in the repo
