My Sept-Oct NCJ just came in the mail today, and I wonder if anybody else received a copy with the same problems as mine. I have a completely white page--as in no printing at all--on what should have
I was just browsing through the December QST today, looking at the contest rules section, and noticed something that may be a bit surprising about the RTTY Roundup this weekend. Maybe this is intenti
Re the hate mail somebody just received: On the other hand, I had no trouble finding all the DXers on 40m this morning. They were all there right on top of the XW30 transmit frequency giving out thei
This is just a query to see if I'm alone in a bit of confusion I'm having with ARRL over coffee cups or whether others are having similar experiences... A couple of weeks ago I received a package fro

At least a few people besides me saw Tack's (JE1CKA) posting the other day and decided to take him up on the JIDX challenge. Going into it, this had all the appearance of a gentleman's weekend contes
This is easy to say when you have a TF3 prefix, but absolutely not true when you are a N6 (or W6 or K6, ...) I believe it is more exciting to watch paint dry or grass grow than it is to operate a DX
This sure looks to me like an advertisement--a commercial message here on the contest reflector. This is the same thing that happens to me every evening when I try to have a peaceful dinner with my w
This is kind of tough to answer, since they didn't have much of an antenna there at the show. All they had was a dipole up about 15', inside the auditorium. I tuned around for a while and did hear so
While mindlessly following links around on the web this morning, I came onto a most unusal site that may make some of the recent posters on this reflector feel right at home... Reading all of these c
Hello Andrew! It's nice to hear you on again! This same thing happens to me from time to time. What I think is happening is that your caller actually maxes out at 10 wpm, or something like that, so y
Coming up next week: the Canada Day Contest, sponsored by RAC. VE2ZP normally posts an announcement about this one along about now, but I haven't seen anything from Dave on here about this yet. Anywa
