Anybody want to share a room at the Plaza? I have a double with queen beds for Thurs-Sat nights. I *do* snore...but it's probably tolerable. 73, Ward N0AX -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.
A significant enhancement of the understanding of receiver performance took place in the mid-seventies - namely, the realization that dynamic range was actually more important than raw sensitivity o
Making my first pilgrimage to the Big D (no, not THAT Big D) and didn't reserve a room two years ago, so it's either scrounge or stay up all night in a Waffle House. Anybody out there have a spot on
Time to schedule another Honor Sprint - this is the time of year people seemed to want to run a practice sprint. May is full of gardening, Dayton, CQ-M, and Memorial Day, so how about the second week
Anyone in the DC area available for an eyeball QSO on April 29th, 30th, or May 1st? I'll be attending a conference in the downtown area. I'm sure there are beer-and-pizza joynts in the vicinity. Woul
Turns out that June is MUCH worse than May... Since this is a bit of a new thing and somewhat experimental, let's experiment! Several suggested last time that (a) it was too long and (b) why not try
Yeah, but how long would a CRC period have to be to handle names like "Rumplestiltskin"? Why use error detection, anyway? It would not be that difficult to use Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding a
Uh, oh... I think the rule is "name" not "your name". I'm "Ed" in the Sprints because (a) nobody will receive "Ward WA" correctly the first time (except for the True Zen Masters who connect the ears

Although there are some that can't be there, the majority of responses are to proceed as scheduled. Sorry about not being able to find THE DATE on which all contesters are free :-) So... See you on t
I'm still looking for logs from KK7GW, N2IC, DL5MC, and others... The write-up is just about ready, gentlemen! 73, Ward N0AX -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrativ
Thanks to all that participated - the consensus was that it was fun and there should be another honor sprint targeted at DX participation. Imagine - a two-hour WW sprint! Stay tuned... 73, Ward N0AX
For those of you bemoaning the demise of your University club station - banished to various tiny rooms with antennas in disrepair - take a look at these beauties that just went up on the brand-spanki
This is technically third-party traffic and is governed by the international agreements. Yep. Yep. Yep. Mr. Blow will be fully credited in the results as "J. Blow". Seriously...get yourself a copy o
Frankly, this might just encourage the behavior because Mr. Last Two will just think that he didn't beller loud enough or repeat the last two enough times. The feedback needs to be immediate and cle
Here's an interesting thought that Kelly's observation sparked - the fewer letters given by the DX station in the response to the pileup, the larger the number of plausible returnees. In other words

This is a ploy to make everyone so confused that the phone contest is distributed over three weekends, thus diluting the QRM on 75-meters. Yes, but if you're a four, you send "RC" and your name is "
