In this same topic, it would blow the regulars away should any of those multipliers start showing up during the NS Ladder sprints. 8-) Steve <hint-hint>, K0XP ________________________________________
I miss the old CD Parties ;o(((((((( Haven't been able to participate in a NAQP for quite some years; but I rember that it didn't seem to have the charisma, or feel anything like the CD parties did.

For those who don't want to wait, I got TO3T to count as FM by doing the following: 1. Make a backup copy of BOTH your original log file and your existing wl_cty.dat file. 2. Open wl_cty.dat and find
When your rate is 3 or 4 per MINUTE, then yes, it surely can; it can bump you up another Q per minute. I have no doubt that at least some Europeans experienced such rates, if only briefly, during the
I thought there were at least one or a few contests where a club officer had to submit a list of those who's scores were being claimed for the club effort? I wudda sworn one or more contests did requ
The problem here was that the other operator just didn't anticipate, and thus expect, cut numbers in the actual power level. Cut numbers are 99% OK when it comes to the signal report; but when it com
My point was that a skilled op, upon being called by someone, can often make an impromptu estimate whether that other station can handle being sent cut numbers. For example, when called by someone of
Yup, ain't that the truth. Insofar as almost all casual operators are concerned, they get into a contest for a few hours just for the fun of working a lot of stations within a short time frame; or to
That's what I recall, too; it was uncommon (a bit more often than rare, in other words) to run across someone sending ONLY 599. But by 1970, that had begun to change as the top layer strove for faste

During recent contests, twiddling the little tiny dinky RIT knob on my TS-680S has become a bear, fatiguing my fingers and making me not want to run sometimes. Setting up a run freq by using split wi
Not sure; but it seemed to me that way more folks were calling way off freq during the WPX that I'd ever noticed before, even as recently as contests like the NE QSO Party, or even the ARRL DX CW. It
Maybe; but I'm certain the vast majority of my Qs on 80m were operating unassisted (i.e., no packet/spotting site). Steve, K0XP _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list
I'm hard of hearing, but definitely not tone-deaf. This is either a blessing or a curse... Until I got this TS680S with its 10 Hz digital freq readout, I was never aware just how finely I was tuning
I agree. I haven't dug out my old contest logs (may not even have them any longer) but from what I rember, "honest" reports were pretty common through at least the very early '70s. Then the two west
