I set up all sorts of shortcuts and macros with Writelog, and am frustrated with sticking labels than can be removed that invariably come off at the worst possible time. I'd like to use old-fashioned

It seems I need to modify the writelogv10.gus file for the ARRL DX contest this weekend, as what's in the file is for the IARU. - Do I need to change the file"? - What do I change it to? 73, Thanks &

I really like using CBS.EXE to analyze my logs. Unfortunately, it seems that CBS doesn't like contests that start before 0000z. CQ160 is one of them, starting at 2200z. Is there a fix or substitute o

Ken hasn't lived in the city as long as some of us have :-) He's right about "grannies with clipboards" -- I've run into them in the various DC neighborhoods I've lived in over the past 20+ years. If

George, I think you've missed the point in this discussion. No one is asking that DC be called or considered to be a state. We aren't. All we are asking is that in contests where the multiplier is st

Now we're knee-deep in silliness. I've lived in Washington, DC for 24 years, and have operated the amateur satellites and HF bands for 20 of those. I'm a relatively active contester, both single-op a

In the majority of the contests I've participated in from here in DC for the last 20 years, I haven't worked a DC station. This has, however, changed over the recent years. I accept this as one in SD

For the past umpteenth years, I've tried to persuade the managers of those contests that count the 50 United States as separate, unique multipliers... but refuse to include the District of Columbia.

In what seems to be a previous life, the mid to late 1990's, I managed to get on the air -- HF and satellites -- from both the exotic and less rare locations: 9L, J2, YJ, HI, etc. I never found much

Thanks for all the response. It appears I'm not the only one who's gone through this exercise. A wireless keyboard with function the same size as the QWERTY keys appears to be a real rarity. Similarl
