VK4VDX QG62ni

I had 100 contacts, worked from home, would think twice before I spend the money for anymore microwave gear if there is no person on the other end, if you know what I mean. The day will come where something has to change to make it happening. If I do to my business what's happening to Ham radio I wo...

Hi all However, lets suppose the prize for each section of the VHF/UHF field day was a new IC9100 with 23 cms fitted or a complete set of DB6NT Transverters from 23 cms to 3 cms! (impossible, I know, but lets be hypothetical!) I have a sneaking suspicion that the participation rate would skyrocket ...

Adrian,

that's not nice.

I would like to donate a price for the highest scoring F-CALL in the next Winter Field Day 2012

Ok Trent! If you didn't get my point than you didn't read my posts, easy. the point I'm making is about trophies prices to attract more stations, every other hobby or sport does it, as VK5ZT said in his last post, there are trophies and prices to be won at a Foxhunt, see and I didn't know, yeap, pro...

Insentive you want to let the hobby survive, than that's what needs to happen. Here in Australia you can legally bet on everything that moves :) no protection in place to protect the people who can not afford it. In Monaco, residents of Monaco are not allowed to gamble in the casino In Austria Pokie...

If you can sell a ruffle ticket at a Hamfest or at a club meeting, than you should be able to win a price or a trophy at a contest. I got a trohpy when I was playing soccer and ski racing I was not a professional. Who wants to stop you if you donate a price for a achievment in a contest, no one!

Leigh you are absolutly right ! This is a Hobby an incredable exciting Hobby, we get pushed to the side. The so called NONE PROFIT organisations RSL's Clubs are surviving with "POKIES" nobody cares if RETAIL is struggling. If we promote a contest in a way so many Hobbies get promoted we wo...

15000+ amateurs in Australia and only 100+ logs

In this Contest under 30 different call signs in 24 hours for me.

I think something is wrong, you are right!

oh one more thing, In clubs, people ruffle of radios antennas many different things, what about sponsors putting up trophies or whatever takes your fancy, antennas, radios as prices for different categories like for F- CALLS, for Standart Calls and Full Calls. Legally we would be allowed to do it. T...

I did have 18 contacts on 52.150 and 52.525 6m is the last band some stations are worried about when they have got every other band and that is a fact. I have been told "I have got other things to worry about than to get a point on 6m" When you have got not enough operators to run a VHF-UH...

Operating from Brisbane in a VHF-UHF Contest, is a joke, why include 6m if stations don't want to work you for 1 point ( where is the magic) It is about time to make this contest fair and fun. What about a Red Card "Disqualification" for operators that are in the contest for some but not t...

Wow! Long day, for us in VK4, waiting for some action. We did see it all unfold on the VK Logger. But we never gave up hope, specially when Adrian logged his first contact with ZL. When I saw the spot of VK4MJF working ZL3TY Bob on 144.110 I was hoping for my first SSB contact with ZL, having worked...

Happy New Year to all!! New Years Eve 2011 It was a lot of fun, what a finish, pile ups on 2 metres. Worked: 12 VK3’s 13 VK5’s 1 VK2 No, it was not 20 metres, but it certainly felled like it. Noticed 80+ people on the 2 metre VK LOGGER. It went rather smooth, well done to all!! Wouldn’t that be nice...
