Both the original and remake are great flicks! 73 Mark K3MSB It's a Coke bottle on a Morse key and flapping window blind in San Francisco. (For you youg'uns, check out On the Beach on Netflix.) 73 de
I am in PA, not out west, but I managed to work 60 EU stations last night (Wednesday night / Thursday morning). For my small station, this was absolutely huge and completely unexpected!! This was the
Well said Victor. I'm going to offend with this email no matter how nice I try to make it, but I am trying to not be inflammatory. Here goes.... A human ear can not compete with a computer that extra
The issue is not one of any mode being more "valid" that the other, nor is it one of a QSO being "valid" or "invalid" based upon the mode. If a two way exchange is completed between two legally licen
Because I use my human skill that I developed over years to decode the CW signal. You don't do that for RTTY. Unless of course you're referring to using a CW decoder wherein you just read the decoded
On the contrary Cecil; I think that due to the fact that this long-going thread has not had people ejected from the list nor has had intervention by the moderator shows that all of us are indeed tryi
As Ive said before, I dont believe its a case of FT8 being good or bad for ham radio. The problem is a level playing field for competition purposes. Personally, I dont believe statements such as Your
You cant retract any awards, and I dont believe you even have to worry about that. Lets say you have 150 Confirmed on 160M right now using a combination of SSB, CW, FT8 etc. The current single band a

October 26 - Update 20:30 GMT Plans regarding 3C1L have changed. Yuris is in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea and he says that they plan to activate 3C1L again. He is looking for proper QTH. But they are n
The "Delete" key is a wonderful thing. Just because you don't like a discussion thread doesn't mean others feel the same way. Nobody is forcing you to read anything you don't want to. I've been conte
Out of curiosity, exactly who "established" 1840 + 2.5 KHz as the FT8 "window"? Mark K3MSB I shall be operating this weekend full legal limit *below* 1837.5 CW, and also FT*/JT65/JT9 at up to the le
Hi Roger I would suspect activity. This weened during the CQ WW CW contest our club worked 86 countries on 15M. We were running 100W into a 3 element beam. Nice openings to Africa and a delightful lo
Hi Marsh I agree. This is a basic technique and Ive used it for decades. While stations butt heads on the zero beat frequency I transmit 100 to 200 Hz above and usually make the contact. During the A
Hi Steve I noticed the same thing. The pileup was considerably wider, but he typically stayed within the 1 to 2 KHz up slot. I had my bandwidth set to 1.2 KHz when I switched to his RX frequency, and
So what's the accepted practice of working stations again and again on 160M? If I've worked you once or twice in the past I won't answer your CQ, unless you're CQing with no responses, but then proba
