[DX-CHAT] First BS7H operation

2004-11-13 Thread W0YG \(Charlie Summers\)
As I recall from being on the DX Advisory Committee at that time, we were told it didn't count. I don't remember who told us, but my best guess would be K5FUV, Bill Kennemer, who ran the DX program at that time. Huge photos were circulated showing the legs of the scaffolds were in the water

Anybody know of any software that supports the USB ports found on the newer laptop computers. I am looking for RTTY and CW software/logging programs. It is my understanding that CT doesn't support USB ports nor does the WF1B RTTY program. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction to a

[DX-CHAT] Sunrise/Sunset Times

2003-03-15 Thread W0YG Charlie Summers
Quite some time ago, there was a disk, I thought either in the Handbook, an Antenna Compendium or another book published by the ARRL, that had some programs that were started by typing MENU. This was back on the old DOS machines. One neat program that I am looking for was a sunrise/sunset table

Ain't that wonderful, getting an award for working an illegal operation. But wait a minute, didn't the boys on H40 say it was legal to operate in that segment of the band out there? Maybe it is legal in other parts of the world too? But wait a moment again, did W9WNV or UB5RR really not go to

[DX-CHAT] QSLing 4U1ITU

Are there any pointers for QSLing 4U1ITU? I don't know the operator who was in the IARU contest this weekend but I understand one requirement is the op must QSL 100% all contacts. That is not much consolation when one doesn't know the operator and has to wait on the bureau system. Anyone know

[DX-CHAT] A52OM status

2002-07-13 Thread W0YG Charlie Summers
Someone asked the other day as to whether A52OM counted. Apparently Ray never sent in his documentation as he didn't know it was necessary, hence his operation was never approved. I have been in contact with Ray about this. He has forwarded what appears to be the necessary documents to ARRL HQ
