- First: there is _no way_ to handicap scoring to balance entries in a DX contest by region - propagation is different every year, and greatly different across the sunspot cycle. A formula that might s

- Steve (N2IC/0) pointed out that the difference in sunrise between Boston and Orlando is more like 20 minutes than 45 at CQWW SSB time. I admit that my guess was based on eyeballing it from a greyline

- Because I was 15 single band, I only listened to 40 for a few minutes on Saturday night. It certainly is an interesting experience - the sidebands of the broadcast stations are still there, and the s
