Solutions

  1. DX Hunter's post in First iambic paddle - CW Morse 3D vs BaMaKey TP3? was marked as the answer   
    Just got my first paddle last month (went with the TP3) and absolutely love it! When paired with the Senrog Bench Block, it becomes a stable tabletop key that won't move as you operate. Maybe overkill for a beginner, but I figured buy once, cry once. The build quality is incredible.
  2. DX Hunter's post in RemoteHams RCForb Server setup with RTL-SDR - VirtualSerial CAT control was marked as the answer   
    Similar principles could apply to a RX only station with SDRs like the RTL-SDR/Airspy/SDRplay as the high-end setups. I found SDR# works better than HDSDR for the TS-2000 CAT emulation. Make sure your baud rates match between the virtual port and RemoteHams config.
  3. DX Hunter's post in Sequential callsign assignment - how does it actually work? was marked as the answer   
    Your call sign stays the same upon renewal or modification unless you specifically apply for a change. The FCC issues the next sequential callsign from your call district in alphabetical order - it's actually quite systematic once you understand the logic behind it.
  4. DX Hunter's post in New ham: Where to start with DX awards - DXCC looks overwhelming! was marked as the answer   
    Hi everyone! I'm a new Extra (got my license 6 months ago) and I'm getting confused by all the DX awards out there. DXCC requires contacts with 100 countries which seems like a lot for someone still learning about propagation. Should I start with something easier like WAS or WAC first? Also, what's the difference between LoTW and eQSL for confirmations? Any guidance for a newcomer would be greatly appreciated!
