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

Jerry and Darl - ARRL doesn't use your log for scoring (really). It's just a check against your claimed score. And class and section don't really matter because there are no multipliers (for which sec

I can't speak to other radios, but Mike's approach is true for my FT-817 and FT-857. If I adjust so there's no ALC indication on the 817's display, then I have no output. Steve W3HF

One supplement: maybe I misunderstood what you meant by "how long these people call CQ." I interpreted that as total duration of multiple individual CQs. If you meant a continuous key-down, then I agr

Art - Question: how do you know if a band is open if you don't see/hear any signals? Someone has to call CQ! If no one makes their presence known by calling CQ, then no one can respond (to a CQ), and

Jerry - That info IS in the Tech question pool: Question T1B10: Which of the following HF bands have frequencies available to the Technician class operator for RTTY and data transmissions? A. 10 meter
