Whomever thought of making this group: many thanks. I'm not a Fb user, so I've missed out hearing about other people's activations etc. Looking forward to a KFF activating filled 2018 with you all. 73

I like questions from very young kids who are not afraid to ask anything. As we age we tend to become afraid our questions will embarrass us so we dont ask. I'd say there are no stupid questions, most

Yeah, the cluster I am familiar with. I learned this weekend, for instance, that if you are activating a park on ssb and then sneak off to do some cw contacts but don't call CQ POTA, it will still aut

Does anyone have a list of the things that will trigger an automatic spot for various modes? -detrick K4IZ

Hey there Joe, welcome to the group. I'll be looking for you on the air. De W6LEN / Jess. Sent from my iPhone

What kind of antenna do you all use if you are an activator? I have a LNR Trail Friendly End Fed and just got a Packtenna for Christmas. I use a 12m Spiderbeam pole with a homemade drive on base.

I use a Zero Five 43 foot multiband vertical at home and hustler mobile whips when I activate. ​ ​ Jess Question everything. Accept nothing as fact until proven. No one or nothing is above suspicion.

I use a doublet, made from speaker wire and some short sections of 1/2" PVC pipe, cut for 40m. Mason line is used to hold up the center as well as tie out the ends. The mason line is one one of these

I'm stuck in the old school JT65 mode of not wanting to operate split mode, not a criticism Jim. ;-) In the past JT65'ers that needed WI would call me on split mode an stalk me down until I answered,

Not an issue for me. I have a SpotCollector filter set up too look for text strings "POTA" or "FF" on the DX Cluster. Every now and then it passes a spot with the name "Jeff" in the comments but that'

I've run into this before with an op trying to activate. You don't want to do anything that messes up the automation. While experienced ops can cope with it the newbies and the less savvy ops will be

My thought on this if i ever get around to trying is In the free text box where it normally is sending "call ka9jac 73" change it to "73 de KFF-xxxx" 73, 44 Bob, KA9JAC Virus-free. www.avg.com

That's unfortunate as it's going to make me much less likely to bother activating wwff refs. I was just getting in the habit of doing quick park activations when on road trips etc. I actually stopped

The upside to "CQ FF K4IZ FM18" is that it's a standard CQ message, not a free message. It doesn't mess with the automation. My only concern is whether "FF" is too ambiguous ... but if we were to all

I don't want to sound cranky, but why breaking a numbering system that has worked well across the world? Remember my past comment about unintended consequences? Well, following folks that self spot ha

We have not changed our numbering system. It is the each separate program now was different requirements to add parks so the new parks added to each program no longer match up. We will keep following

Not twitter, but I've thought about using APRS for spotting. I find many times when my cell phone battery is pretty taxed, or I'm in an area that has little or no cell coverage. But if I could have a
