The communication act of 1934 has be 'amended', changed, whatever a few years back by congress. I think it was on behalf of the NSA and CIA or homeland security. (always hated that 'homeland security' name. It sounds too much like 'for the Fatherland' for me). And the cellphone companies. You

E31A was quite good copy here this morning when I was on around my sunrise 1915z and still audible 20 minutes later. I'm sure a QSO will be quite impossible with their proximity to Europe. Some quite good signals in the pileup too. 73 es GL, Luke VK3HJ _ Topband Reflector

I think we are all losing sight of one important fact: the “rules” everyone seems to speaking about are ARRL rules...the only “rules” ANY ham is obligated to follow are the applicable government regulations associated with the country they have been licensed by. Believe it or not, not all hams

Hi Nick and the group, Nick, I was running a KW to my inv-V at 100'. Far as I know they don't use SDR's. It was an interesting experiment and later around 08:00Z I did manage to work G4AMN, EI6S and G4PEL direct. It amazed me how strong some of the stations were in Europe and how hard they

Well, I had to have a last last say did'nt I. In the latest February Edition of Practical Wireless magazine is an article on a diversity adapter, whereby one can connect your receiver to one ant port and say a websdtr or another receiver at your 2nd home to the other port and than adjust the

E31A was up and down for a while last night, sometimes OK copy for me and sometimes not. But in the hour before his sunrise he really peaked up A LOT. My logger tells me his sunrise at at 3:53Z and my QSO was about 40 minutes before that. Tim N3QE _ Topband Reflector Archives -

Hi gary, I thought that was the rule.  But I've not dug into it because I don't use the remotes.  So just now I looked and you are 100% right.  Here's what the ARRL web page says from Section 1... *9.  Station Location and Boundary:* *a)*All stations used to make contacts for a specific

Several members of this forum rightfully objected to my post "doubting" VU2GSM's use of remote RX in QSOs since he had openly admitted to same in his correspondence. Since I view my e-mail in reverse chronological order, I had read Paul's post and responded before seeing the posts by VE6WZ
