That has been disputed for years.  Nathan B. Stubblefield and Nikola Telsa and perhaps some others may have been first.

Just sayin'

Today is a day to celebrate our roots!  116 years ago toady - December 12th, 1901 - Guglielmo Marconi made the first trans-Atlantic radio communication.  The transmission originated in Cornwall England and was recieved by Marconi at Signal Hill in St. John's Newfoundland.  For a bit of history click Here.  Today is a good day to see if you can work either Newfoundland or England.

And 115 years + 51 weeks ago, Marconi's wife was heard yelling "Guglielmo, get off that radio and come eat before your supper gets cold'!

Please accept my non-denominational holiday wishes with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2018, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wish.

Not that I wish it upon you, Barry, it just seems that you're having an unusually high share of the problem pie lately.

 

You think maybe you've had some water ingress into some coax or something like that? Do you have an antenna analyzer that you can scan/sweep your antenna with to be sure all is well?

 

Just a thought... best of luck with it, my friend! :-)

Seeing nothing here. I like Matt's suggestion of my antenna falling down.

Charles,

The admins of groups.io or porting over our list. It could be a few days, but it should end up being just like the main list. Though you can subscribe and get approval that way as well.

Well that was fun!  Despite terrible prop and never being able to work Barry, I had a good time.  Managed to get on all three days.  Friday night was heavy thunderstorms here and QRN.   And W1AW code practice requires the notch filter on 80m.  Saturday I had some RTTY to contend with.  And 160m was just real tough all three days.  I need a better antenna.

There was some discussion here during the contest about if you could work the same call in different days.  Matt said it would be reviewed during the off season.  My 2 cents - I believe we should leave it the way it is:  credit for a call once per band over the three days.  Yes, day 2 and day 3 get progressively harder to find "new ones," but for me that is the challenge.  And it does level the field a bit for those who can only get on one or two days of the 3.

One other note:  I will be glad when the contest group is migrated to groups.io.  I get postings much faster with here....Yahoo sometimes has long delays.  It will make the contest group much more useful!

But I had fun!  Hope you did too!  Merry Christmas to all and hope to work you in PSKFest.
