Very Good Ward: I guess that's why you're the ham of the year and I'm not. That is an interesting approach and a very good one. Instead of constantly trying to redefine a word eliminate it and replac
I'm wearing my 'cranky' 'ole-fart' hat for just a minute. Skimmer appears to be a very popular subject(very popular). Why not start a skimmer mailing list.?.?.?. My delete key is getting worn out. If
Same story here Mike except it was on 40 and a big JA2. I had no problem with him, he has a multi element yagi, but it took him almost 10 minutes to get my call. He tried every iteration and finally
Whoa Pete, put the brakes on. I submit my logs to LOTW after every contest. It has become a part of my 'post-contest' routine, as it has for many. I don't need/want the ARRL or CQ or NCJ or whoever d
I am not a lawyer and will not pretend to be one. I was reading through the LOTW FAQ's to see if anything applied to this discussion. I came across this sentence which I believe would/could also appl
Whoa here: Mark I've been participating in contests longer than you have been alive. We used to get by just fine before the advent of computerized 3830. Up to 20 years ago after a contest, if you fel
Mark said:""to massage your log and go unnoticed, or switch categories just to come in first place in a category you technically didn't operate, but also technically qualify to enter..."" and Mark al
Well I guess I should have been much clearer. What I was referring to was John Doe who went cross town to Billy Bob's house to operate because Billy Bob has a much better station. But John Doe didn't
Eric since you used my name in your posting I thought I better reply. Eric in my case, I can't speak for the other 4 guys, but in my case I don't care. I feel neither good or bad. In my case, because
I am curious why the computer 'guru's' can't solve the log checking delays. When computers first came out, in basic language, computer guru's like K1EA designed logging software and moved the contest
