CW skimmer also decodes and identifies the stations for you. CW skimmer does something that a human can not do - it decodes hundreds of CW signals across the band segment it is listening to. All of t
Just because you are not getting winning hand written logs does not mean there is significant in contest disadvantage to logging a contest by hand. Those are good questions. But, we have plenty of ru
I am not trying to be cute - have you done a serious contest effort hand logging. That is true - but most of it is just convenience. This is not an issue. The date goes in only on log entry where it
Fellow contesters, I would like to add a bit more flexibility to my antenna switching systems and I was wondering how others are solving this problem. The example I will give you is my 10 meter tower
Can you share the errors with us? Or they printed some where? That is the article by n4tz that I attributed to n4zr in error. Also, have you or anyone else used this system in the real world. It, at

I think that is a great thing - with Skimmer generated packet spots you can eliminate the problem of spot inequity. Perhaps with enough Skimmers feeding the packet system from enough different locati
Fellow Contesters, Last week one of the newer members of the Central Texas and DX Contest Club, Joe Barr - W5CT passed way. He was also fairly new to amateur radio and contesting. I am sure a number

If you have looked at a QST in the last 4 or 6 months or so you will surely notice that there is now an entire section - several pages that has been set aside for "Radiosport" coverage. This is a gre
Just because it is a vaild issued callsign does not mean that it is not unique to a given log nor does it mean that the callsign was logged correctly. -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http:

It is based on the rules. I like the long SS exchange and the callsign as part of it but maybe that is just because I am used to it after all these years. I had quite a few folks not sending their ca

I think that by submitting the log you consent to the log being made public. And by not submitting your log you are not giving your consent. I think open logs are great. I have only looked at a few.
You are seeing things. Nobody would mount a biycle on the side of a tower. -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr _______________________________________________ CQ-Conte
I see this every year - two different checks are used with my callsign each year and they are different enough like yours that they are not CW or SSB copying errors. There also seem to be some groups
