I must admit, when I hear contest exchanges going on on the bands, I'm curious. So my first step is to either listen (regardless of the mode) to see what's going on, or I go to the web and look at on

I disagree. The *casual* guy is the key to LOTW's success. Contesters and dx-pedetions are only 20% of the picture and certianly don't activate every entity that I want a qsl for. It sure is a nice w

In person at my LOCAL BRANCH. That seems to be the catch here, folks not wanting to deal with sending "sensitive documents" through the mail. Don't get me wrong, I like and use LOTW, but maybe part o

Unless I'm crazy, the two 419A's I just hooked up required sinking to ground to select the band - would have made my life a whole lot easier if they were source driven! Just to check my sanity, I sur

This has a flip side to it. For me the "thrill" of contesting was in the quick pace and sheer volume of stations you could contact in a short period of time. If someone had introduced to contesting d

What amps are out there on the used market fur under $1000 that are sufficient for contest service (i.e. occational high swr due to tx into wrong antenna at 3am, easy to tune etc.) I've investigated
Hello fellow contesters. I've been doing some web browsing, and looking at SO2R setups. Mostly what I see is two rigs side by side. This is how I have things setup up now, one rig on the left, one ri

Hello fellow contesters. I've seen lots of setups using two rigs in a horizontal orientation (i.e. rig 1 on the left and rig 2 on the right), but I've seen very few vertical setups (rig 1 on the bott

Any new category does not fix anything. I think that contest sponsors could simply include extra data in online score reports, and then us contesters can filter it how we want to. Summary sheets alre

I'd argue it's fine in principle, however the motivation and ethicality (is that even a word?) may be in question. All those stations are zone and country multipliers. I know I didn't work zone 5 on
