Rod Newkirk, W9BRD, died on Monday, November 19, in Ontario. For many of us in the 1960s and 1970s, reading his QST "How's DX?" column was *the* reason to open QST. An obit is on the ARRL web site. I

How about letting LotW participants opt out of LotW QSLs for dupes? How many QSLs do I need (for example) for one station in Pennsylvania on 40 Meters CW? I chose AA3B just as a WAS test case and che
Steve: That's awesome! Thanks to everybody who did the work to make the search possible. One suggestion: Display the entries by date, starting at the most recent, top to bottom, so I feel like I'm ge
SS CW and SS Phone are entirely different animals. SS CW requires skills other than sitting on one frequency with 1500 watts and stacked beams and asking goobers in what year they were first licensed
I think if the ARRL would automatically load every contest log it receives onto Logbook of The World, it would benefit both contesting and LoTW. Log submitters could check a box to opt out of this if
Ash: This is very, very cool, and thank you for your effort to do it. I really enjoyed hearing my 10 Meters, 400 watt/dipole signal, recorded in Tunisia. Now to refine my pileup technique. CU this we
I got in the Wisconsin QSO Party a week ago last Sunday for my usual brief foray, CW only, 3.5 hours, 350 QSOs. Great fun! Lots of OF friends called in. The geniuses who run the WIQP -- none of them
Contest after contest, my CW log fills with short call signs owned by people from the "one radio and paper log" generation. People like me. We are the generation who "populate" the logs of the SDR/RB
If a contest ends at 2359Z, isn't anything you do to your log after that outside the time boundary of the contest? -- JC K1TN _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list C

Rick, wow, those maps are amazing! Thanks for doing them, for the work and effort. There I am on the NA map, a little red dot about 60 miles north of the southern tip of Green Bay, Wisconsin (the bay
Want to increase contest interest and participation? Wrap ARRL's Logbook of the World into all major contests. Let the contest sponsor automatically load all submitted contest entries into LotW. CQ,
Steve, The subject line of my post was just a "teaser." (I used to be a newspaper editor and one of my jobs was writing headlines.) The solution to overloading LotW is for LotW not to store dupes. Sa
Hi Milt, Neat idea. Anything to give people a reason to spend more BIC time. In the upcoming NAQP CW I am going to do something different myself, Going to see how fast I can make 100K, ie, in the lea
"Power" is just a meaningless element of the exchange and you can send anything you want. 100 is an expected, default number. No matter what my watt meter read, I would send "100" or "K." In 1986 I w

Exactly, Ward. I was an "early adopter" of digital frequency readout, with a Signal One CX7A in 1972. Not seeing a pointer on a dial covering the whole band required a little brain adjustment. It hap
