I have just calculated QSO counts using the logs vs operator slot. This means that the operator switching doesn't matter. The numbers don't change. I have posted a graph on the club site to show how t

Here is a breakdown per hour (when M4W was on) of QSO's per hour.

#contest

You maybe correct Dom, I have worked the QSO’s per op based on the operator value in N1MM, if Ctrl+O was not used to change Op, the last used operator would have been recorded. Regarding run rate, let

Hmmm, interesting. I could swear that I worked more than 19, but I guess the logs don't lie. When Marc and I were working out the QSO run rate, we both came up with about 30 an hour. I guess we were b

Hi All, For those that haven't already seen, the club continues to go from strength to strength in the 2m FMAC. The results are in for this month and we have managed to hold our lead in 1st place and

Thank you Den for the quick reply. That is great to hear. I will look forward to further info on in this in the near future. Neal

Hi Neal. Thanks for the enquiry. Yes we ARE planning another Activity award for this year. It was the subject of some lengthy debate last week at Club. Hopefully we will sort out the nitty gritty this

Good afternoon all. Just enquiring if there will be one of these annual contests/challenges again this year? I have looked at the previous ones on the sdarc website and they looked like they would of

Thanks Dom. That is fantastic news, well done everyone. I must admit, that result is much better than I was expecting. I didn't think we would be that close to Hereford and, given James' chart showing

Hi All, The results of the RSGB 144Mhz FMAC have just been released and it shows a fantastically strong presence of the Swindon & District Amateur Radio Club. In the first outing this year, we ended u

This is not an uncommon subject among the contesting fraternity especially at VHF/UHF where high ERPs (large beams) are not uncommon as are pre-amps close to the antenna. Whist agreeing that some rigs

I have this 2m problem too on UKAC USB as well. There are some stations I can guarantee will cause me problems both above and below their 12.5kHz frequency on FM. On USB I can mostly eliminate it by m

In reply, I agree this where some of the problems lie.. If you look at the FMAC “rules” it states that FM deviation is set to 12.5khz channel spacing. How many stations actually select narrow (12.5khz

Very interesting Dom, I was not aware of some of the history behind this. I agree the 2m FMAC was a bit of a nightmare last week in terms of interference, there were lots of strong signals around. Cat

Hi All, Since last week's 2m FMAC, there has been a lot of talk about the amount of adjacent channel interference during the contest. Paul, G6UAJ found this short but interesting article in the August

I feel a bit like Peter Snow on election night with his Swingometer with this one, but things are looking promising. I've just had a quick check of the logs entered for the RSGB 432MHZ FMAC and out of
