Mr. Brett is certainly taking it in the shorts... My encounters with him have been pleasant. I *have* received the occasional QSL card, but in our eyeball QSOs he has bemoaned the load of QSLing vers
Right you are! I nearly ran afoul of the "unlicensed op'r/third-part" rules when operating with my sons and one of their friends during an ARRL DX contest. Luckily, I avoided QSOs with Europe and As
The points about the value of contest-seasoned operators and quality of contest-worthy stations are all very good. Yet don't expect to just waltz into an emergency situation and have everything seem
Hmmm...doesn't sound like you're at all happy with any of the major magazines! Editors are always looking for good feedback, what would be your "dream magazine"? Here's mine... Sweepstakes Results (e
I find that there are two groups - the moderates and the competitors. At a big station, the moderate is usually in the mode of "Whoa! I'm not sure I can deal with this." Then there is an event - usua

Hmmmm...might be a lot easier to get it started for domestic contests as international allocations and convention are difficult to budge. The major problem, as I see it, is that we would then lose m

I could never remember where the INS key was when the PCs all had the different keyboards (when I was using CT & NA), so I got a lever-type microswitch and wired it across the INS key contacts. Then
If you would have asked me who I most admired in those beginning years, Doug would have been one of the first answers. He's still there. 73, Ward N0AX -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/
I suggest that the log-keepers post either by web page or by reflector a list of all from whom they have received email logs. This should be sent out as a master mailing at the deadline, as well. No
Actually, there was another interesting technique that I heard W6NV use while operating SU2MT during an IARU contest. Obviously, from the Mediterranean, the European "Tell me, what does 'stand by' m
