How many people read those high school box scores in the local newspaper? Surely most of these are available on the websites of the respective schools involved in the meaningless games :>) Still, mos
Did anyone else find it interesting that the results for the VHF/UHF and micrcrowave contests printed in the March 2002 QST were posted (as has been the norm for Sweepstakes, the ARRL DX contests, et
What is the "official" ARRL position on including things like /P, /M, or /MM on my Cabrillo log? Examples received: ON6AH/M, EA4FL/P, UT1FG/MM. I know not to include /QRP. And what about the LU2/H? I
The awarding of "bonus points" for working Novice or Technician contestants in the ARRL 10 meter contest is consistant with this premis: the station taking the extra time and effort to work a station
The op doesn't need to know who is running QRP to get extra points. The log checker needs to know. With the advent of computerized log cross checking, this is no problem at all. Terry Zivney, N4TZ/9
Like many of you, I have been studying my UBN report from the 2001 CQ WW SSB contest in order to see what copying mistakes I had made. My biggest surprise was that I lost 3 multipliers on 40 m ssb. N
I don't think one should expect to receive an exception. Exception means rare, and is subject to discretion, which could change in the future. Furthermore, there are legitimate reasons for longer per
Let me tell you why antenna- or propagation-challenged ops did NOT like the High/Low band categories in the ARRL DX test and why the single band categories were big improvements. Low band means you m
Because CQ still publishes the lines scores, top ten boxes, etc. As far as I can see, the only things moved to the web were the callsigns of the ops of the multi-op stations and a small box showing t
Why do you NEED the "Cabrillo tools?" TRLog does all I need to make a completely compliant Cabrillo log, for the ARRL or CQ contests. Terry Zivney, N4TZ/9 Does anyone but me find it annoying that we
I was annoyed at the choices of wording of the survey question currently posted on the www.contesting.com <http://www.contesting.com/> homepage: "The 2006 CQ WPX SSB contest is over and the results f
I downloaded and installed DF3CB's BV7 QSL program to work down that backlog of contest QSL cards received. I imported the Cabrillo formatted logs I sent to the contest sponsors. Everything looks ok
WM5R said: "I've ploughed through a LOT of line scores while working on the Contest Score Database Project (http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr/scoredb/). A score like that is almost certainly one that was not
There is no low-power category for Single band entries in the ARRL DX contests. Only single-op all-band entries have a low-power or QRP category: Entry Categories: 3.1. Single Operator: 3.1.1. All Ba
Single operators must take 12 hours off during the contest. How are off times calculated? Single operator entries are permitted a maximum operating time of 36 hours. Off times must be a minimum of 6
See the thoughts of K5ZD in an earlier discussion about off-times and chopping extra minutes off the end of the log and fairness: -- Re: [CQ-Contest] NAQP Off Times from [Randy Thompson] [Permanent L

More on these stubs. Say one station is on 15 and another is on 40. There is no way for the 15 station to block the 40 station signals is there. All one can do is to insert a 15 stub on the 40 statio
That's what happens when you don't have the reference in front of you W2VJN's Type 4 stubs (page 34) - keeps 21 MHz out of 7MHz - 1/4 wave 21 MHz open ended and 1/2 wave 21MHz shorted teed - this put
Don't forget to submit your log for the recent WPX SSB Contest. As I'm sure you know, the deadline for all CQ Contests is now five days after the conclusion of the contest. So, logs should be submitt
