A similar thread has been discussed at various times in the past, most notably related to the use of "QRL?". The question is really more complicated than those stated above. First of all, the real qu
My personal experience is that those who QSY'ed to say "QRL" to me have come from a far greater distance away than 200 Hz, so in principle I would not disagree with Doug's use of this figure. But I h
I'm glad I waited a while before I answered this one because there has been a lot of interesting discussion that has continued for a few days. Let me first repeat what I said earlier because I said i
Sorry I don't agree. I have been a long time participant in the SOHP category in major contests. I have never used two radios and have no plans to start but if my competition is using two radios it d

I noted with some interest the threads on cut numbers which have appeared here recently. I have never really been bothered by having a cut number thrown at me because during several years of hamming
I hate to sound like I'm picking on the log checker, but this stand on "cut numbers" is dead wrong. In case anyone has forgotten, all contest exchanges started out as "message copying" exercises. Any
Hi Hans: Hey I was thinking of doing that! You saved me the trouble! No but after almost every contest a letter to the editor is run about how the contest messed somebody up. From the comments made i
