OK. I certainly understand your point. Family at home has to come first. But that wasn't what the other guy was saying. He said it hurt the CONTEST. Doesn't really. Choice of weekends hurts YOU. And
You don't REALLY believe that do you? Two reasons why you shouldn't: 1) Don't equate frequency of problems with frequency of verbal expression regarding problems. In social science related statistica
With packet plans in the future, I would answer that simply: If I have the whole weekend and I can put in a full-time (whatever that means) effort, I will forego the packet. If it is a club score eve
I understand that sentiment all too well. I have been (really) poor in my lifetime. It is a question of how many, and how many of these have some access to a pc to create a log file. I would really l

Another answer: Require mailing address on the submission summary sheet. No address, no certificate. Get rid of the inchey-pinchey aspect of the scoring rules that require so much human intervention.

Ok, I can deal with this method, except for one thing: In TRlog, or any of them I think, how do I "mark" a qso as incomplete during the contest in such a way that the POST program, or whatever, will
^^^^^^^^^^ Just my opinion, of course, but... I think not. The wall to wall signals I hear are not the whimpering last gasps of a dying contest. The WPX strategizing at the PVRC/NC chapter meetings a
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Naw, didn't miss it at all. Just don't agree. This thread has been very interesting reading and I appreciate the wide expression of opinion. I stand by "Nuthin, but nuthin w
I sat down the other night to spend some rare spare time perusing the May CQ issue, which had the 1997 WPX results in it. (A side wonder re: 11 months to tabulate a contest?) A couple of things reall
