I am a new subscriber to CQ-Contest.
I would like to review all mail from Dec. 1, 1994 to Feb. 20, 1995.
Is there a way for me to do this through tgv.com?; is it impossible?
Or do I need to find someone who has kept copies?
I am especially interested in mail related to the 94 ARRL 10 Meter contest.
Please help.

I've gotten enough questioning feedback that I am
prompted to give a longer explanation and
to ask the general population for a response:
When I got into CW in a big way, I was taught that
the least intrusive (and quickest) way to ask if the
freq is in use is to send a snappy "ie" (di-dit dit).
If no one responds, you go ahead with your CQ or
whatever. If my memory serves correctly, the root
meanings were old stuff: "ie" is C in the Continental
Code, and the standard reply if you are using the
frequency is a C in International Morse (dah-di-dah-dit).
I can't remember who taught me this. Perhaps I got
this from one or more of those crusty old CW traffic
handlers that got me interested in contesting. You
know, guys like W2RQ, W2GD, N2NT, WA2SRQ...
So...
1. How do you usually ask if a frequency is in use?
a. Don't ask
b. di-dit dit
c. ?
d. QRL?
e. other____________________
2. How would you respond to "di-dit dit" on your frequency?
Send replies to DKMC@CHEVRON.COM and I'll summarize
for the group.
