I'd be happy to manage a list about remote-base contest station and operating. The basic subject of remote operation has been covered well by other lists; however, there are still a large number of c
Hi All, I am looking for a ride from the Columbus airport to Dayton (Crowne Plaza) on Thursday the 17th, and a ride back on Sunday the 20th. I'm willing to share expenses. I'm on Southwest flight 299
Hi All, I'm going to be in Richardson this Friday through Monday on a business trip; I'll be staying at the Richardson Hotel. I'm not sure of my availability on the weekend, but it sure would be fun
Hi Tom, I guess you are right. Simpy Sending NR before the number eliminates that problem. Most people do send the NR. -- <img src = "http://www.customsoftware.tv/w1vesig.gif" border=0 </img> _______
Imagine scoring in real-time -- not score reporting, but QSO and score validation. Results published at the END of the contest, not six months later. Possible? Absoutely!! Participants simply need an
Fellow Contesters, I just wanted to make it clear to the community that the getscores.org server and connectivity resources are provided by David, KY1V/6Y1V. Without David's generosity, we would not
Hi David and company, I understand your viewpoint. However, the cats out of the bag, for the biggest of DX Contests, CQWW. I already have a software strategy tool which plots the QSO rate and Mult ra
The log owner would be identified, as the convention is CALLSIGN.LOG Why would the header matter? QTH info?? That's public knowledge. I'd like the OVERALL data for a particular station, not what stat
Rather than blame spotting, why not teach/use effective operating procedures? Many casual operators, especially in SS, get on to try and get a sweep only, and are not really interested in max QSOs..
Software has been updated. It will only allow one cluster to receive DX spots. It can be set using the SPOTCLUSTER command, otherwise, it is the 1st cluster the user is connected to. 73, Gerry -- 73,
Yes, Joe had two antennas. His property was in the US, but some of the land was in Canada. So, I guess if the antenna itself was in Canada -- away ya go. Being directly on the line? That would not wo

Wow, I still love SS after 30+ years... .. I love CW. You gotta have chops to work this contest. Sure, DX contests are fun for the propagation and strategy, but the CW part is trivial... you can't "f
Come one, Come all... I encourage ALL to participate, even those with code readers. These days, with most people sending the exchange using a computer, the computer-generated CW is pretty easy to dec
I agree with you, Doug, Some of us "old farts" are probably too impatient at times. The disconnect I see is a guy who sounds like he knows what he is doing (good speed, comes right back), yet is dumb
Hey Folks, Google Voice is now open to everyone. You do not need an invite any more. You can find some interesting phone numbers by searching using their interface. In just a few minutes, I found: 57
Amen, Larry! There ain't no meters like 40 meters for SS from the east coast! 10M? A Q or 2 on the second radio! My band preferences are 40->75->20->15->10->160. Some may argue 75 more vs 40, but tha
It's called "Strategy" On the west coast, if 10 is open and you are not on it, you're not going to do well. If you spend a lot of time on 10m from the east coast (long time = no rate), you are not go
I always thought NE1DX was a good/funny call: "Anyone DX?" 73, Gerry W1VE _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com
