ctive Hi Oms, I don't think there are finally so many options. You don't need compromise antennas whose main feature is to develop a null or antennas whose directivity is big but efficiency too low
I'm not convinced that any low band antenna has enough efficiency for all receivers, all cases, and expecially if the receiver BW is not for a narrow CW. This is also a great opportunity to explain
Ten years ago, in an high band SB effort during an ARRL DX, there was no problem to nearly double the first day QSOs number during the second one, generally there was not enough time along 48 hours t

Hi Yuri, do You know 40 dB is 10000 times the power ? Assuming the 40 dB over an average signal produced by best 1500 W stations that are those using also best antenna systems while the IG9 was a "fi
It's well known that european HAMs did learn time tables and then wait until Radio Tirana stopped tranmitting on 40m band to hurry there and have incredible DXes on that channels. 73, Mauri I4JMY PS

It's not really worth to look back because it's meaningless, each year and each contest has its own conditions and history. How to compare a result obtained 20 years ago with the typical poorer setup
When in doubt if someone got your call correct, and a good contester often feels it, take the time and ask your correspondant if he has logged your call correct or not. If big logs with an extremely
If the exchanghed is a1bcd/m the logged call has definitely to include the /m suffix. By the way the country problem do not exist since, according with ITU, the "M" alone is not a country prefix. 73,
Top scores/scorer should be always required to submit their log in a computerized form. As well as someone runs several kilometers, and by foot, to place beverages and doing many other bigger efforts
If contest management take months to perform the log checking it is the sign this is an important, full part, of the competition and the form of the logs can perfectly be one of the rules. I can bet
