Now, why would you say that? Are you even remotely qualified, on either
topic, to make such a definitive statement? I hardly think so.

I also noticed a good bit of this. It is maddening to be sure. I wonder if
some of it might not be due to excessive noise levels at their location, thus
they are really unable to hear very well. I wasn't all that surprised when my
dinky signal wasn't being heard, but I also heard other

About the only cogent comments you made were that you don't have a good energy

Unless you know something about being orthodox, you can't

I ran a list both ways--using zip code and then actual
coordinates. I think there is a problem, apparently with
the zip code version. For example, the zip code version

11,246 miles away. The coordinate version (32.25 N, 110.69

John and All,
I saw your post earlier, which reminded me I had never requested mine (or
donated either). Sort of dumb on my part since I worked them on 20 band slots!
I also had the opportunity at Dayton to see the QSL they are sending out--It's
both unique and exceptionally well made. It's
Duane and All,
I think the rule of thumb is that you should elevate your antenna at least 1/10
wavelength to see significant improvement in ground losses. So, the higher you
go, the more benefit you would get. On 40 meters, that means you should raise
the antenna at least 12 to 13 feet
David and All,
Intuitively, I agree with your conclusion. The ham population in general seems
to be getting older, and with CW being optional now, it doesn't surprise me a
bit that younger folks are MIA's. You might post a summary of your responses.
It would be interesting.

In the past, using the phrase break, break, break--called a triple
break--was supposed to only occur in an emergency. This comes from net
operating procedures mainly. Otherwise, you would just say break, break
if you wanted to be recognized, but not for emergency purposes.
Nonetheless, a
Bob,
You describe the problem very well. The only thing is, it's kind of like an
accent. You can pick it up going in, and you tend to lose it going out.
Habits are hard to break, but so long as we don't pick up on it ourselves, I
think in time it will begin to fade. If we don't acknowledge
The Q signal list referred to by Hans is quite extensive--more so than
probably ever used by amateurs. In fact, some don't correspond to the ones we
use. The QN's are a case in point. That sequence is used by amateurs for net
operation. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see QRRR on the list,
Ron,
I have one, and I am most happy with it. Previously I owned a couple of
different models of the Icom 706 (the original version, and the MarkIIG),
and I still have the original as sort of a backup rig. I also own and use a
Yaesu FT-857. These two rigs are, I think, most comparable to

You might want to look at the MFJ 1020C Active Antenna. I don't own one,

David and All,
I think this is something that should be very carefully discussed, if it is
discussed at all. The issue of Kosovo is a very sensitive one politically.
Kosovo is an extremely important area to serbians, primarily due to its
religious history and signfiicance. I don't think I

Anyone know why they haven't posted any more updates on
their logs? The last update was almost 2 days before they
pulled the plug.
