Dave - I'm not sure, but I think this mailing covered the last half of 2021. Field Day is in June, so those might have gone out in the mailing six months ago. Jim K5SP would know for sure. Steve W3HF

Lee - I think the issue is that our current system, although functional, is more fragile right now than our old system used to be (when it still worked). And no one wants their entry to be DQed. The f

Bob - it won't matter. The PODXS number is not used in scoring--that's why it's not part of the required exchange. Even if it's included in the ADIF (under a comment field, for example) the scorer wil

George - Avoiding distortion is always a good thing, but I haven't seen PSK31 get distorted enough near filter-band edges to lose decode. I lose the signal power before I see a distortion. Perhaps the

George - I'll tell you my opinion, and how I implement it. The only times I've ever operated PSK split were when I was (semi-)rare DX and I had lots of stations calling. (I was operating from a large

Eric (and others) - Be careful. I think he's previously used a remote base in the US but neglected to identify properly. 73, Steve W3HF Sent from the all new AOL app for Android

It looks like groups.io attempted to protect the privacy of my email account, which is quite unhelpful in this situation.. Hopefully one of these will make it through: w3hf@... w3hf at arrl.net S

We are going to do the Christmas Run again this year. (I apologize for the late announcement.) Rules are the same as last year: - Make 25 PSK31 QSOs on 25 December 2021 (0000z to 2359z) on any HF band

Ken - Since I have a Kenwood I followed the link (for future reference). Looks like we will both have to find someone else. Top of the web page says: "11/6/2021 After 40 years of servicing ICOM equipm

No. We use that word to mean a short contest, in this case, six hours per day. That's in contrast to a contest that's 24 hours long. Steve W3HF

Thank you! Steve W3HF

What does the QSL actually say for grid? My first reaction was that it seems like a whole lot of effort to create a new login (i.e., callsign) with the grid embedded therein. And it also means that if

Dick - Thanks for the explanation. We appreciate all that you and Kathy are doing. Steve W3HF

Rick - That makes sense. I guess I shouldn't have been as specific about ground planes as I was, but your details are consistent with the thought: most antenna mounts on mobile vehicles will favor som

Sorry, didn't finish that. My guess on the car orientation is that his antenna pattern is affected by how much of the car is between the whip antenna and the direction of the station--basically how mu

Dick is still in DM53--just managed a QSO. One thing he just confirmed is that signal strength depends on orientation of the car.
