From the Great Lakes Division Vice Director, KI4LA. 73 - Jim K8MR -- Dear Colleague, Thanks to so many of you who have responded to the SM reports/contest results issue after the proposal to remove t
I have operated just about every CW Sprint ever, and am fairly certain that I have never made a QSO above 14070. I have no plans to start in this one. Any contest that relies on a 4 KHz segment (7035

I'm glad everyone does not use CT. There are a lot of contests that CT does not support, and if CT does not support a contest you are screwed. AFAIK with all the other logging programs adding a conte

I guess one's perspective is highly dependent on whether one drives to Dayton or flies. And also perhaps whether one has a room at the Crowne Plaza or not. This is the one weekend of the year that we
Your understanding is correct, and this year happens to be the one where the last full weekend of January falls on the earliest possible dates. The NFL juggled Super Bowl dates around this fact, and
Partly because we have a vastly different definition of "working". "DL1XXX, that your callsign?.... Again? OK, QSL the 5914. Thanks, Kilo 8 Mike Radio, Contest?" is not what much of the world conside
Or rather like truck lanes, the only places multi-multis are allowed, and with a speed limit of 55 qsos/hour! 73 - Jim K8MR -- The world's top contesters battle it out in Finland! THE OFFICIAL FILM o
