Believe I saw that that issue was decided by a voice vote. Therefore all can claim they voted for keeping data in QST. Sounds like the votes taken in Congress when they are raising their salaries. Re
In a sense, this is one positive for promoting more contest activity because now the non-member who participates in an ARRL contest can see his score published on the Internet. As a non-member and no
This was a discussion I was all excited about a year ago and it was discussed here with the exception that it was not tied to cheating in packet. There are a few of us who would like to see contestin
If we are referring to live time posting during the contest, both types of people can be accommodated. If you're the type that does wants to push himself/herself to do as well as you can and don't wa
This interpretation is really extreme. And to make it even worse, he goes on and on and on......... So............. What are you going to do with the information? Can you work the stations on the sam

I'm going to stay out of this fray since I plan on working SS CW this weekend and don't want to make anyone mad so that they don't work me during the test. You'll probably find me at about 7.065 + or
My only problem with the 00, 01, 02, etc. checks were that I would absent mindedly treat the 0 as a leading zero and not type it in the log thus causing the qso to not save because of an error in the
Although propagation today seems to be poor for the 9A contest, I checked out the rules and lo and behold it states "All stations are allowed to use the spots from DX packet Cluster." Now doesn't tha
While I understand where Dave is coming from, I would like to look at it from a different perspective. Let it be said that I would never remove myself from a contest because I disagreed with a rule s
Now I believe I understand Tree. Is this something like the technology of SO2R?? Since contest rules do not create a new category for SO2R and forced the top operators to adopt it, do you think it m

will want to show off that they found the Tree, this is because software I use to spot (DXBase, N1MM) read the frequencies off my radio and post both frequencies in the spot. But I think I have a so
Reminded me of "shave and a haircut" -- "two bits" EE5E - "Two Bits" 73 Red K0LUZ Heehee - EE5E was a real callsign. I got a list of expected operations before the contest and that one was on the lis
