Fear not for Ray, if he doesn’t want to use the 51-A on DStar as it works perfectly well as an analog FM radio as well, Congrsts, Ray! It’s a great little radio and I love mine. Be sure an try out the Canada net on DStar, Friday evenings at 10PM Eastern on various repeaters around Quebec, though the net is mostly in English the times I have logged into the net. 73 Wayne N5WD and sometimes N5WD/VE3 in Mississaga
Congratulation. I tried to participate, but question are 90 % oriented US. Not easy to participate when you have European roots/background Any way I learned nice stuff by googling
Very nice! Congratulations. If you don't like the color let me know and I'll trade you straight up for my black ID-51A+.
But honestly It is sad that those questions are so US centric. QRZ. com is a US Website, Ok but with a so huge an international activity. Ok I learned a lot, and this is the most important and it's fun. I do no intent to win anything. this is not my goal. On top of the fact that 99 % of the question are US centric, you even have the same issue with the answers. A practical example in today's quizz: Where is located the Nikola Tesla Museum? I visited years ago this museum in Belgrade, I hit Belgrade and the answer is considered to be incorrect because there is a Nikola Tesla museum in New York City. Then there is a question about the maximum speed for CQ identification, I went into the FCC regulation, it's written " speed must be between 20 and 25 WPM" As the question asked for the maximum I selected 25 WPM, the answer was 20 . Any it's fun , that's the most important 73
KI4HTC It look like a nice radio it would nice to win one ,I never have won anything in my life but who every win good luck. James
Ray, Thanks for explaining that, .... sounds like everyone involved is a winner ! And to repeat myself, Wonderful Contest . Still loving those trivia questions. See ya at the next Hamfest .. .73
