I won 4 ARRL Sweepstakes CW contests using FT-107Ms! That was 1981-1985 so this radio is a bit dated. I think I was the only serious contester who ever used one. Many people remember it for its uniqu

OK, I will start. I am on band B. What if I call a station on band A (but don't log it) and ask him to move to band B. I work him on band B. Then I move him back to A and log it. Wow, I just saved a
I can suggest an excellent one - WriteLog by W5XD. Check it out at http://www.contesting.com/writelog . I got it to do RTTY contests, but it actually does CW and SSB too! And it runs completely in Wi
I noticed that one of the plaques is for a "Rookie Category". Since I am still in my first year of RTTY operation I am going for this one! While RTTY won't replace CW as my preferred operating mode,

A DXpedition certainly has the right to operate any way that they want. I will never argue against that. However, with the stated goal of making as many QSOs as possible (you made a reference to 4th
Don't worry - there aren't enough USA contesters interested in WPX to make much of a difference. The EU-to-EU QSOs actually get an advantage with the doule point values on the LF bands! Randy, K5ZD -
I can recommend DX4WIN very highly. I am using it to do all of the things that you have listed below. It has excellent import capability from CT (you just select the BIN file and say "go"). It does a

I too had the same misfortune of being left out of the 10M contest results. My score wasn't significant in any way (except to me!). Even funnier, I got two confirmations from ARRL that they had recei
I also do the simple switching except I do it with toggle switches instead of a rotary switch. I have a switch for the right ear and one for the left. This lets me put any radio in any ear at any tim
