There can be many reason for uniques and people giving out very low numbers. My own eample was being mobile yesterday and not having a log going in traffic. I used a club call for which I am trustee
About all this is going to do is cause the casual CW contester to stop entering. No one for whatever reason wants to be the guy to have any changes made to his log. What I submit is my best shot at w
Plain and simple JP, Just ask Billy Lunt for copies of the first 3 years SS packet violators I sent him. They were even broken down into requesting section info, making spots, appearing on frequency
Not only give you a thanks but by name if he remembers and he often does. A slight courtesy earns him major respect from participants. In a few milliseconds any weekend peaanut-whistle feels good th

The diodes in the PS doubler string can be replaced with almost anything, including the 3,000 PIV 1 amp diodes sold in multipacks at Radio Shack. I always told myself I would buy a set of diode bloc
While most of us are capable of wiring up our shacks and never have a problem, it is that one instance where something goes wrong and no fire insurance is in effect because of unapproved installation
While it is nice to pin down a room now, don't give up hope for a Crowne Plaza room. Last year they released unsecured reservations on May 1st and I know of several that were gotten for late deciding
Maybe we need to develope and spread a new set of abbreviations in the cases of onflicting ones. LAX - LA SD -SDG are certainly at the top of the error list. Why couldn't Los Angeles be LOS ? Are th
Strange that all 11 had the exact same error. Except for maybe a multiop error changing ops it seems strange. I wonder if these were together in time, or maybe from a DX cluster area where the wrong
You don't have a log listed in the received logs page for CW. You DO have a log listed in the received logs page for Phone. -- 73, Bob Reed, W2CE == W2CE@prodigy.net W2CE@aol.com W2CE@juno.com W2CE@
Back in the days of callbook QSO's in a log the idea of penalty points for usually nonexistant contacts made sense. In fact callbook QSO's still need the penalty. Unfortunately we are talking about
Somewhere the idea has grown and been announced beyond what was determined. There are no International regulations regarding the prohibition of contesting on the WARC bands. I'd be the first to reca
Unfortunately, election to the ARRL Board seems to allow some to believe they are only a short step from the Almighty. While I must respect as few Board members, about 4 I think of off hand, the oth
According to the FCC rules, American amateurs must identify every 10 minutes or at the close of each QSO. When I pointed this out to ARRL about 10 years ago I was pointed to several other interpreta
Without doubt the 9M0C team had the right to choose NOT to enter the contest. The fact that they appeared on CW during the period created a conflict, but a need for JA QSO's caused the opperation on

I found that contacting the engineering department of my power company woeked wonders. GPU (formerly JCP&L) not only has been very responcieve to complaints but actually calls every year or so to mak
I sure wouldn't mind seeing a "short hours" type of recognition. There are some people who have contested for years that may not be physically able any more. With a severe heart problem, pending mor
The Hamvention's moving the DX and Contest Forums has not been a secret. Information of the change has been announced on their web site for months. There goes dozens of meetings outside the drapes. R
