Heh-heh... I win; I found a cupla bugs in the scoring database 8-) First of all: tongue in cheek, I tried entering my number of QSOs as 0.5, hoping the SW would count it as zero by ignoring anything
True; I'd venture the guess that only the YFs and YLs (and maybe several of the more vain OMs) amongst us send anything other than the correct year 8-) Now, THERE'S a new exchange possibility for an

I sent one in and it vanished. I sent another and it, too, vanished. Just when I was about to try a third time, there was this gentle "wwhhoooosssseeee" noise and when I looked up, my radio was vanis
For contests, why don't we all just move back UP the band, just like it was before the FCC came out with their shortsighted new subbands???? Sooner or later, SOMEONE'S gwan hafta petition the FCC to
Nuttin' is ever perfect ;o)))) Of course, one answer would be for NS to be programmed into N1MM logger and it be forbidden to remove it. But that's getting extreme..... I have a similar issue with ex
