Here's what I do to make time available for contests and still keep peace (or is it truce?) in the family. I have a calendar program into which I enter all the contests I'm interested in. I show the
Hi Bob, Well, I'm retired which explains why I can have 11 of the ** kind and still be married. I'm doing as many as I can while I'm still able to do it and be somewhat competitive. It also explains
Hey, it's fun. What can I say? At my age better get 'em in while I can. Unfortunately, we had a stretch of really good wx in Sept so I chose to do some work on the house and missed 2 of them. Was out
Thank you for asking, Tomas, but they're the pits :-( Seriously, though, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and observations. Here in Vancouver the high bands didn't open to anywhere o

I have often thought that when the big gun stations have nothing to do between contests they should spend a few hours each day looking for CBers on 10. When they find one, get on its freq and call CQ
I wouldn't pay either, not because of some principle but sheer bone laziness. If I had to go to the bank to get a US money order I would put it on my to do list and never get it done before the deadl

My Club has a new Basic Licence class running with 30 participants. I hope to get 20 of them to show up for my contester training session during CQWW. I'm in the process of writing up a little blurb
VE7FO's no-ticket newbies will be out in full force, well, LP force into a TH3, in CQ WW SSB. At the moment, of the 7 scheduled newbie ops from my club's Basic Licence class, 6 are women. See http://

Once again, I've convinced a number of no-ticket folks in my Club's licence class to come out and have some contesting fun. If one of them should call you, please be patient. For most of them this wi
I'm with the others who say to use what works. e.g. Alpha and Delta can sound identical in difficult conditions. Switch to America and Denmark and you'll get through. I too try to use phonetics famil
I remember being annoyed at having to learn that new-fangled Able Baker Charlie stuff (which BTW were used by the military - not just hams). What was wrong with good old Ack for A, Ink for I and Toc
