Keith, I suggest you write an article about this and submit to the National Contest Journal. It’s a great and timely topic. Scott Wright, K0MD, is editor. I copied him on this. Mike, n5sj

Contesting is not a concern for quite a few VHF/UHF folks who just want casual QSOs. For example NMVHFS now has 63 members, BUT in almost any contest I hear maybe 10-15% of quantity, MAX. That has

I've been lurking on this issue for some time now. I must say that the declining VHF contest environment since the advent of FT8 has become masterfully defined by many. I agree with most of the

This is all good and very true. BUT, the problem is only a small percentage of ops on 6M during a June or July contest really CARE if they are winning or losing. The vast majority of ops the "big

Thanks for the info John. I don't think my frequency is drifting that much, if at all. I question the reports I received due to the wide range, both positive and negative. The rig has been on for

KD - The WSJT-X FreqCal process should reliably get you very close unless your rig is drifting badly.  You might try FreqCal at cold start, after 1 hour on receive, and after some high-duty-cycle

Hi Duffey, Sorry to hear about your mishap, but I'm glad that you and Mike are OK. Have a nice day. 73 David K5PHF

John, Glad we were able to make it happen during the contest! Jay N1AV

I spent early Saturday afternoon in DM55 in the Cibola National Forest south of Thoreau, NM. In the couple of hours I had there, I enjoyed the 6m opening that stretched as far east as EM64 from my

Glad to read you guys are OK! This will make an "interesting" article for the NCJ or other publication and a "great" presentation for the ADXA, once you fully recover. While not in a contest, we

John's explanation has cleared up the physical picture I have of what is happening. Two or more coherent signals traveling over different static paths and interfering at the receiver can't
