Hello W4TV, Is the address stored in the FCC database enough proof of the identity of the applicant? Why shall I send photocopies of my license and passport to prove who I am while you, US hams, don'
Hello Jim, Yep, I guess ARRL would send the postcard to the address listed in the FCC database. I am telling you that I won't register because I want to register using my main, italian homecall...unt
Hello W4TV, I would consider the address stored in ARRL files and that I've used for many years (prior to the LotW) to send us$ and my qsl cards to Newington and receive back my qsl cards and DXCC pa

Hello K4IK, You, as a US ham, can simply ask for a certificate and receive a postcard. I am already on ARRL file since I had my cards checked for the DXCC award in the past years, so I'd like to be a
Hello K4IK, I don't think so. I've tried to do some math after reading the bottom of the https://p1k.arrl.org/lotw/dxccapply page and I've found out that LOTW will always be more expensive to me than
Hello Nat, Since I don't have any 160m antenna, I once started CT up and filled a test file with the callsigns of those NO-QSLer's, all on the 160m band, then I use that file during contests and when
Hello Randy, Here we go. A. Single Operator: Single band or all band; those stations at which one person performs all of the operating, logging, and spotting functions. A-1. Single Operator High: onl
Hello Paul, But a half decent SO2R operator can beat a top notch SO1R operator thanks to the extra hardware. -- Famous Sport Quotes: "Sex is an anti-climax after that!" Mark Fitzgerald, Grand Nationa
Hello W4TV, That's a way to separate the SO1R and SO2R entrants. Most contests have separate High/Low/QRP power categories. Since I don't see any skills involved in hooking the ampli to the rest of t
Hello Kr2q, That's unlikely to happen until the 36 hours limit for SO is still in place unless all the M/S entrants are really "a bunch of guys drinking beer who also want to operate the contest". It
Hello George, That's exactly what happens with the SO2R entrants, they also have much more hardware than most of the Single Ops but still share the same category. If you aim to equalize the M/S categ
Hello Timo, Yes, a few years ago. That's still less boring than hearing lots of mults on saturday and sunday and be unable to work *ANY* of them on the second radio. -- Famous Sport Quotes: "Don't lo
Hello Kenneth, Do you think that the top SO or M/S WPX scorers harvest all their multipliers with just the run radio? I bet not. If WPX is a "run-run-run" contest as it's been described here lately h
Hello Jim, They are all good advices but the main problem would still be in place, all the M/S stations will be able to log *LESS* QSO's than the previous years due to the ban of the second mult radi
Hello Ron, Let's give the new proposed M/S category a try *SIDE BY SIDE* with the old one. Let's monitor for 2 or 3 years how the old pack of entrants split into the 2 M/S categories. If the majority
Hello Kenneth, The M/2 category actually requires less strategic decisions, you pick the two best bands during daytime (currently 15m and 20m) and run, then do the same at night on 40m and 80m. Add a
Hello Charles, I admit english is not my main language so I may have misinterpreted the rules, but where have you read that BOTH parties must send BOTH callsigns during a qso? "Most entrants answerin
