If they want "/QRP" on a card from me, they're gonna be disappointed. I have no way to know if they are QRP when they work me, and I'm not going to say I know by logging them that way! "/QRP" is just

Does anyone know of a source of information about the power limits imposed by the various Amateur Radio licensing authorities in the countries of the World? For example, the power limit on Curacao (P
This really happened in November, at a major contest station. No, I won't identify the other person involved! ** During CQWW CW, a few of the non-duty ops were discussing the current state of band se
I'd be interested in hearing reports of the strength of PJ2X during last weekend's contest. I'm working with others to improve the Signal Point station on Topband. Actual strength is good; impression
I've had SO2R in my "To Be Done" box for a while now, and it looks like another while before I get around to getting SO2R set up. I could use some cash for another urgent project, so I'd like to move

With all this discussion of SO2R, it's a good time to remind folk of my SO2R Resources web page, at: http://home.columbus.rr.com/jmaass/Radio/K8ND_SO2R.htm It includes photos of many SO2R stations, l

I think there's much to be said for rhythm in callsign suffixes. I know that it played a role in my evaluation of 'K8ND' back in 1976-77, when I sent and listened to several dozen callsigns from the
For years, I've used "K4BAI" as my 'test call' when trying out a paddle at a hamfest or store, or when making adjustments or warming up at home. John's ears have likely burned at odd times, and now h
CQ-Contest Folk: This year, as in many years, the CQWW CW Contest falls on the (US) Thanksgiving Day weekend. This is traditionally a family holiday in the USA, and so many of my Caribbean Contesting
I would add: 5) Although QRP stations may be recognized as a separate category in a contest, QRP stations should *never* be awarded more points per QSO for choosing to so operate. Those who *work* QR
Dan: How can DX stations be expected to get on the air and put forth much effort in the ARRL 160 Meter Contest when the reporting does not provide them with any recognition? Now that sunspots are dro
In the ARRL 160 Meter Contest results listing and scores database, P40TA (K6TA, opr) is shown as: P40TA 124,960 - 739 - 88 - C With a maximum of 80 Sections available, the listed 88 is clearly wrong.
Comment on my original posting: I've received an email from the log checkers for the ARRL 160 Meter Contest, and: 1) The P40TA score was due to an error in the checking program. They are fixing the p
I *knew* when I typed that line and mentioned QRP that I'd be hearing from you, Pat! My point is this: no one gets on during the ARRL 160m Contest saying "Gee, it'll be a good chance to get a few ne
Robert: There is no official "callbook" database for temporary PJ2 contest calls. Jim WI9WI operated casually as PJ2/WI9WI and in the contest as PJ2W this past week. QSL route for Jim's operations h
Scott: The Array Solutions SixPak 6x2 is a good way to select one antenna to each of two radios. Also, INRAD is offering a new book on dealing with interstation interference in SO2R / MM / M2 station
I am looking to buy (or borrow for copy, if necessary) the video tape describing the 1989 PJ9W operation by "Radioteam Finland" from Curacao. It was apparently entitled "Spirit of Victory". It was re
