RF problems KB6UF 03/02/10

Ron, get yourself some info from Palomar engineers and determine the size beads needed for the wiring they will be going on and K5JF 03/11/10

Which type and maker?? I did not have the problem when I used the Am-Comm one. WG6X 03/04/10

I forgot I did get some feedback when I sent cw. WG6X 03/04/10

I sold my orginal one to KM9X who I understand it helped him a lot and picked up a replacement. WG6X 03/04/10

Ron, I had one for years and could not eliminate the problem on 14336. KC3X 03/02/10

Question about portable operation and No Star award... W4YDY 03/02/10

Know who you are working.... AA8R 03/03/10

Looks like rules need to be clarified.....more W4YDY 03/03/10

Rules are clear - it is the OPERATOR who has to have "no stars" KE3VV 03/03/10

Should have made it mobiles only! WV2B 03/03/10

In addition to knowing the "Portable" status .............. WØGXQ 03/02/10

Plot thickens KN4Y 03/02/10

WRONG - if the OPERATOR has a star, you can't count it as a "no star" contact KE3VV 03/03/10

Would Field Day stations set up for the weekend be a No Star or is it determined on who is operating at the time? W4YDY 03/02/10

No Star K8QWY 03/02/10

No Star K8QWY 03/02/10

The rule says "operator" so you can't count a field day station unless you know the operator has no star KE3VV 03/02/10

How are you going to know "who" is running the radio on the other end...!! AE3Z 03/05/10

I can just see me sitting here breaking a guys run... AE3Z 03/05/10

You don't know who is operating and that's the point... KE3VV 03/06/10

More on the station W4YDY 03/02/10

Award Rules on page 12...Portable Operation AA8R 03/02/10

In addition, your basement is just another part of your location... same address (location) different room KE3VV 03/02/10

I thought, when we voted on this award... AE3Z 03/02/10

Don, you voted to take out the Club call restriction from the requirements.. AA8R 03/03/10

Nope - just mobiles and portables... at least that is what I voted on at the Board meeting KE3VV 03/02/10

The rules state mobiles and portables ONLY WV2B 03/02/10

I agree. WV2B 03/02/10

If the operator has no star and is using a temporary station at a temporary location.... KE3VV 03/04/10

Camping/Summer home WØMU 03/06/10

Sure... why not? Anyway... KE3VV 03/06/10
