RD contest
Anybody contesting in the RD tonight/tomorrow? Where will most of the FM action happen? I have no way to receive SSB.

Check out http://www.wia.org.au/members/contests/rdcontest for info.
I'll try having a go from home on HF.

You can get a good description of what the RD contest is from the link given above by WPXZBP. Yes you can participate on VHF/UHF but not via Echolink. The trick for you would be to find someone in your area to exchange numbers with.slipknot wrote:May i ask, what exactly is the RD contest? what is it all about and how does it work and can you participate if all you have is a 2m / 7cm radio and echolink as your equipment?

The first 30 mins 2m FM was insane. 70cm was slow.WPXZBP wrote:Check out http://www.wia.org.au/members/contests/rdcontest for info
Radio waves only. Simplex only. 2m/70cm won't be much chop away from the general population. Definitely read the rules. Listen in just after 6pm between 146.4 and 146.6 when the 2 hour limit is up.slipknot wrote:May i ask, what exactly is the RD contest? what is it all about and how does it work and can you participate if all you have is a 2m / 7cm radio and echolink as your equipment?

Re: RD contest
Pity I don't have any gear ATM. I would've had a go and given some points to serious contesters. I won the VHF Phone section in the 90's some time (can't remember the year) and it was a real buzz.robbage wrote:Anybody contesting in the RD tonight/tomorrow?

May get back into AR one of these days...

Good to see you here Phil. You might remember doing some 'testing with me at NCRG in Carine. I also won the VHF section a few years ago.gromit wrote:Pity I don't have any gear ATM.
