181. Re: [CQ-Contest] LOTW and Contest Logs (score: 1)

I agree that LOTW could be considered "off topic" for contesting. However, if the "backlog status and report" is going to be paraded in front of us then this topic is more relevant than that topic, i

Thanks Bob. And all accurate information I believe. Honestly, its about time and hassle factor to certify each one of those callsigns plus N1UR and NV1N (company radio club call). QSLs are still avai

I think all of you are missing a point. No one "owns" the frequency, regardless of how quick he or she responds. The reality is, you possess a frequency based on how you use it and how loud you are,

My experience has been that you cannot use HFTA to decide on the actual optimum gains of antenna systems. HFTA seems to have a formula that simply adds 2.5dB gain to 2 phased yagis, no matter what th

Linear amplifiers have long been accepted as common tools for DXing and contesting, therefore why not merge the High Power, Low Power, and QRP categories into one category. For years, hams have gotte

If contest committees are spending time to check on the use of assisted in the non-assisted class, then the logical conclusion is that it would give the cheater an advantage. Otherwise why bother. So

I have never been a fan of SS so I don't have a dog in the fight on whether the rules get changed or not. However, it is pretty amusing to hear how many people want to "game the system" with new, fre
