Dick just texted that his SWR went infinite so he shut down. Steve W3HF

Steve - Note that the intent of this "observation" is that since both Alaska and Hawaii are states and DXCC entities, they count as both for the purposes of the contest. This isn't really a special ru

I posted some photos from my October 2012 trip on https://070club.groups.io/g/main/album?id=12019 I have some later photos, but I don't think I've posted them. First the LPA was dangling. Then it and

Jeremy - Yes, I did. My first trip here was in 2012, and the station had just closed. The shack was there as well as the LPA, but the shack had a "Closed by order of the CO" sign on its door. Today th

My experiences were similar to Jeremy's. My VQ9 operations were always difficult, and constrained more by power and signal strength rather than other operators. So I never had good run rates, but most

Just for everyone's benefit and use... Unlike some other clubs, the 070 club does not require that either member numbers or LONP numbers be exchanged over the air for any awards or other purpose. That

I'm going to try again to get the VQ9HF station working tomorrow (Sunday local time). I think my interface is actually the culprit, not holding the PTT properly. So I'm going to try and hook up a new

I think I may be waving off for today. The FT-857 won't stay in transmit mode--it clicks in and then immediately clicks out. I've checked the SWR and it's good. Unless I can figure it out quickly, tod

I'm currently on a business trip to Diego Garcia, the seventh time I've been here in the past 9 years. Unfortunately, this trip is much more intensive than the previous ones--working six days a week,

JoAnn - The 070 file share is on the groups.io web site, and it's limited to members only. So you have to log in, at least once. The link works if you have previously logged in to groups.io (and haven

Bob - Congratulations on the 20 years. Really glad to have you in the club. Steve W3HF

Rich - I need DM85, DM87 and DM53. I hope to be home by then. Steve W3HF

Tom - Ignore that item on the web page. It's auto-generated, and was apparently mis-programmed. You do still have a few hours left. Steve W3HF

Dave - Do you have any filters activated on the radio? Steve W3HF

JoAnn - That's one of the fundamental problems. Our current database is based on a set of GoogleSheet files--it's not a conventional relational database. It was built using free Google tools and was l

You may need to refresh the page--there's a button on page to do that. When I look at the page now, it's done. Steve W3HF

I just want to temper that a little. Most people upload their entire logs every time. That makes it simpler, as most people use loggers that can export the entire ADIF in one shot. (One note: you real

Well the last address change the FCC has was in 2005, and the previous address was in Miramar FL. But NA-006 is in VY0 (Nunavut)! I don't think this is simply a "I forgot to change it." Steve W3HF

Neither ARRL nor QRZ validates IOTA references. If a user selects it, they publish it. For ARRL it's embedded in the station location you define--if you put it there, LoTW will report it when a QSO is
