I am not a person who likes to change radios very often but I am really excited about this one. I am a little worried about the small size of the knobs, so I want to see one that I can use but I thin

I was looking at my QSLs on LOTW this morning. I think contesters, as a group, are heavy users of LOTW. As of this morning I have 210 LOTW QSLs from the NAQP contest this past weekend. Contesters mus
Andrei, I think a lot of the initial resistance to LOTW has started to fall away. It is simply too good a deal not to participate in. The logging programs that most of us use make it very easy to upl
Honestly, I think that you are right. Some more detailed instructions would be helpful. When I ran into a problem, I called and got help immediately. These help files that the computer types love to
Interesting comments about QSLing. I QSL "pre-emptive-ly" as well, although I think I mean this in a little differently way. When I get a card from a station, my logging program pulls up all of the Q
Shelby, I think I partially misunderstood your point. I completely agree - it is mystifying why I get 10 QSLs from a particular station on a particular band and mode. I have talked it over with some
Doug, I just replaced my printer and one of the requirements was a big drawer so that I didn't have to print just a few QSLs at a time. I purchased a HP7580 All in One. I also wanted to be able to sc
Thanks Ron, I, too, was wondering what on earth Vic was talking about. I think the software works quite well, the cost of LOTW only comes from the request made by the user and basically is the same a

Hey folks, calm down! I probably instigated this. I have been working hard to get my station up and running after a double lightning strike took out most of my stuff. I wanted to be sure that everyth
As far as I am concerned, you can't ignore any of the rules. I don't find the argument that since contest sponsors don't check this item, a very compelling reason not to follow the rules. Having work
Bob, It makes no difference what the CK numbers represent, they are just numbers. It makes a big difference if the rules specifically state that you are to use the last two digits of the year you wer
Bob, I hope that I wasn't insulting because I didn't intend to be. I am retired now, but in my past life I was the principal of a large high school. I spent years trying to figure out what laws and s
