The "rules" (at least the general rules for ARRL contests) already say something to that effect: 3.7. All transmitters and receivers must be located within a 500-meter diameter circle, excluding ante
And it's accreditation that is a logical reason for DXCC to require that the control point be located within the same DXCC entity as the transmitter and receiver. A remote operation without need for
Probably about as happy as the guys who live there were when Jeff and Ken bought their places and moved into the neighborhood. Depends on people's expectation for latency. Demand for VoIP QoS should

Yes, but there are very different economies of scale at work in that comparison. The NRA has approximately 4,300,000 members, while the ARRL has approximately 152,000 members. And NCJ has something l
No nuance here, just inumeracy. In 2006 the contest started at 2100Z and sunset was at 2239Z In 2007 the contest will start at 2100Z and sunset will be at 2240Z 73, Mike K1MK Michael Keane K1MK k1mk@

In this case, 14350 kHz is not just a good idea (or agreement), it's the law. :-) Law that is binding upon signatories (countries) via treaty obligation. The principle originates in Article 4 of the

What's gonna happen ? What would you expect to happen? VP8KJ is at Patriot Hills which, at 81 deg West longitude, is definitely in zone 12 73, Mike K1MK Michael Keane K1MK k1mk@alum.mit.edu _________
Of course, I meant to type VP8PJ, not VP8KJ (yet another busted call!) Yes, things can get confusing down there and a list (or database) comes in handy VP8PJ is definitely Antarctica, zone 12 <http:/

Well it's never quite that simple.... As LoTW has been set up, no one in Newington or elsewhere can create or modify N4ZR's QSOs in LoTW other than N4ZR; and each of N4ZR's QSOs in LoTW can be traced
Okay, someone bootlegs 7Q7AA, calls N4ZR and sends in a Cabrillo log.... and it's N4ZR who then gets hung from the nearest yardarm? 73, Mike K1MK Michael Keane K1MK k1mk@alum.mit.edu ________________
