I don't see how this is eaiser? If you send either "10M?" or even better "28034" - the guy that can copy the code and is doing the contest will understand. The guy that can't copy the code will not
As I sit here reading this thread about two radios and having new catagories to allow one radio I am a bit amused. While many of you were doing the NAQP this past weekend I operated the ARRL VHF swee
Now on this point you are right on -- the non-CW Techs can all get on the 50 Mhz and above bands and they have FULL privilages on these bands. We have contests on the 50 Mhz and above bands - if you
The think that I don't like about signing /QRP is that it makes it harder to figure out the callsign - esp. if the station calling is weak. It happened more than once during the ARRL CW contest. In
This the the point that W4AN, N5KO and others are trying to get across. The WPX was better than a good thing at 30 hours of on time. The rules were changed to 36 hours and it "screwed up a good thin
It is not KW9KW's fault. I was informed by the advertising depeartment that the ARRL changed printers and this is the reason for the delay. -- George Fremin III Austin, Texas C.K.U. "I'm on a mexica
DX I just don't get this - I live in Texas and I think the WPX is a great contest - I enjoy the WPX more than the ohter DX contests. For the SSB weekend this is just not true - the contest is near th
others. Just as a data point - I have set/helped set records in the WPX contest (including the all time prefix record one year) using the callsign N5AU. I think it is safe to say that it is being lo
a I like this question. I am going to let you in on a contest secret. All contests are like this, if you work enough people. Begging for QSOs in the countless small contests over the years has made m

It was used before computers. You still don't need two radios to win SSB SS. Nope - in fact I think it is still eaiser to check for dupes on a paper dupe sheet than it is with a computer. Good topic

This is something that I have thought about alot over the years. In order to do well in a contest you must work the casual operators. You need to have a good signal. It does help to be the loudest s
Hi, While visiting NT5C several weeks ago I found out that he had some old tapes of various DX and Contest stations. Some of the recordings date back to Oct 1967. I have started going through the tap
practice. You are not missing anything - I aggree with you - and to add to it many folks send a "?" when they are looking for a place to call CQ - so I always send my entire CQ message if I hear a l
