I was going to start a thread on this topic as well though I was going to start in the N1MM group. This weekend there are 5 contests I participated in. Maybe not "normal" for a diehard contester, but
I thought my question to the original post was innocent enough. The thread took an odd direction though. I'm newer at contesting so maybe this is a problem that has been around for years or it is som
What would help the casual operator is also consistency. Imagine if you could pop into many contests and know what needs to be done? Do I need to send a serial number? My state? Both? Something else?
I hadn't hear about this until Randy's post and your follow-up. I checked the US site at http://www.earthhourus.org/ and it indicates that folks should turn their lights off, not turn off everything

Just referencing your one snippet: And contrary to the statement made earlier by someone that this is a 0.1% problem. It absolutely is not. I hear dozens of out of band Qs every contest on 40M as sta
I don't know what these sunspots are you guys keep talking about. ;-) I've been licensed since the summer of 2007 and on HF since the summer of 2008. In less then 1 year of being on HF, I've logged o
Dan, I checked this email when I first saw it and I looked on your web site and I didn't see any place where it actually specified what the Contest name should be in the cabrillo log. Did I miss it?
Tom, There are 3 main concerns I've heard about this topic as I was also interested and posted questions about it. Concern 1: When a station is mobile, how can you quickly tell they have moved to a n
I guess I just sent this to Eric just after he sent his email to the list. Here it is for everyone: That is how I read the rules at http://www.cqwpx.com/rules.htm where it states Multi-operator entra
Let me ask the same question possibly a different way and provide the answer I was previously given. If I am a tech or general class operator and I am operating on a team such as our clubs' team like
I like reading as much as I can, but what I found the most enjoyable are the following: 1) Specifics of worked well for folks or specifics of what didn't work well. Is that giving them away any trad
For an ARRL contest, what determines the club category a specific club is in? If I look in the current July QST, my small local club called Bergen ARA is listed in the Local category for the ARRL 10
I received a lot of responses, mostly what seem to be direct and not to the list. In the 3 contest results listed in the recent ARRL QST, all 3 contest scores show 4 logs submitted and 2 contests lis
This list seems to be updated on July 11th so they must know what will happen 2 days from now. I wonder if the ARRL can post the MegaMillions numbers too :-) http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2008/07/
Anyone have any info on the CR3L station that was active in the IARU contest on Saturday? I don't show any info for them in QRZ, hamcall.net or searching via Google other then all the spots they rece
Thanks Hans. Seems the messages going out on this list were pretty delayed yesterday and I actually found some useful info late in the day. http://www.qslinfo.de/Default.aspx was updated yesterday fo
How are there HP entries in the NAQP? The rules indicate two entry classes - Single Op & Multi-two transmitter. All must use 100w or less. QRP is mentioned as recognized in the results if you view th

Jim, Your pet peeve in #1 was a problem for me. I have a wire antenna so there's a lot of noise from every direction. If I couldn't tell he was coming back to me because of noise or splatter, I'd wai
