| QUESTION TO ARRL STAFF | KI6NB | 1 day ago |
I agree that the question is valid. When the magazine was sent out, one could see the membership expiration date printed on the magazine. Currently, not so for members who elect to not pay for the magazine. As an alternative, membership information should be available on this website for lookup by the affected member. |

| Just an update. Managed to complete my WAS award. You were correct, Zack. I´d like to thank KH6KG for working with me for a completed QSO. Now I just need to hang the WAS certificate on the wall. 8) | ||

| No reason that you could not do it. I am using my Raspberry Pi 3 station to run JT65 & JT9 into my HF rig. Worked Russia last night on 20M. | ||
| JT65 during Field Day | N4FWD | on 21/4/17 |
| It is true that slow digital modes will never compete with the traditional contesting modes (like CW, Phone, PSK31 keyboarding, etc.). However, when the bands seem to die down, the slower digital mode can shine and help capture a few more contacts. I am a big proponent of JT65 / JT9 and wanted to see if anyone else might want to give it a go for Field Day 2017. I propose the following exchange be employed: Originator (using a TX Macro) CQ FD [callsign] [or the standard CQ ] Answering (using standard maidenhead) [callsign] [callsign] [maidenhead] Originator (using standard signal report) [callsign] [callsign] [report] Answering (using standard signal reply) [callsign] [callsign] [R report] Originator (using TX Macro) RR [mode] [location] 73 (example: RR 3A GA 73) Answering (using TX Macro) RR [mode] [location] 73 (example: RR 1D AL 73) If the answering station is not participating in Field Day, they will get the basic information needed to log a contact. If the answering station is participating in Field Day, then the exchanged information will be the basic information for a Field Day contact. |

| I've managed to get all states confirmed via LOTW except Hawaii using WSJT-X. So, now it is a matter of the propagation and luck. | ||
