I was guest op last year in a 10-meter contest. At the end of the contest, I told the owner that he should check his FT1000MP because the sensitivity was lower than any I had ever experienced and I k

The problem with a Contst Annual is timliness. If the reporting is done for a whole year, the newest results will be for a contest approximately 6 months completed. So, info on contests from 6 to 18

I don't sign summary sheets any more except for a rare contest that requires paper logs. I assume that submission of a log means that you are making a similar declaration. I always thought the declar

There was a S51 station on two afternoons running on a very clear frequency at about 14348.5. I was tempted to call him since I had worked everyone else I could hear calling CQ and I couldn't hear we
Sorry for the bandwidth. I need some help, presumably from somebody with the REF Contest Committee, to get my log for last weekend's contest to be accepted by the robot. I got an error message that m
Before we get too far into suggesting frequencies above 7100 for what is essentially a full power 1.5 KW contest for the winners, at least, we need to remember that, if I am not mistaken, we are all
I prefer to leave the power level at the highest legal limit. That is partially selfish, since with modest antennas, I can hold my own better with high power. Also, the historical records would be ha
Hello all: Jeff, KU8E, has published the results of the 2004 Georgia QSO Party. Results may be found on the webpage gqp.contesting.com. Certificates and plaques should be mailed shortly. For 2005, th
Hello all: Thanks to Bill Fisher's mother, Linda Ortman, and the efforts of K4SB and W8JI, Bill's W4AN callsign has been issued by the FCC to the South East Contest Club, of which Bill was a founding
Hello all: The Ga QSO Party will be this weekend, April 9 and 10. We are planning on a lot of Ga activity, including mobiles covering most of the 159 counties. The rules of this contest allow operati
The official answer should come from the judges. However, W4AN and I used the regular CT (not CTWIN) WRTC version in 2002 and had no problem that we were made aware of. If there was some problem with
I don't know that I favor a three band category for ARRL DX Contests. I like to encourage operating even on marginal bands, so I would probably prefer only an all band category. An all band or a sing
OK, then. K4XS gets to check all WRTC logs against each other within 18 hours of the contest end and against all local entrants who can get their paper logs to WRTC HQ within 30 minutes of the contes
There were no shuttle buses at Dayton last year and I think it is the same this year. That is, except the shuttle buses to the parking lot at a nearby mall. 73, John, K4BAI. _________________________
Dale: You should include your call in your signature line since it is not indicated in your e-mail address. I also just received TWO certificates from last year's FQP. This was for second place mobil
Those who have been suggesting re-instituting a limited multi-band category for ARRL DX might be interested in the claimed scores and scores from the YU DX Contest this past weekend. Their revised ru
Hello all: Below you will find a message from K4GA, a SECC member who is not subscribed to this reflector at this time. I find that I sent in my log to the published address of ve7cfd@rac.ca. After a
Hello all: I have a very small rule change to suggest for NAQP (North American QSO Party) contests beginning in 2005. At present, all stations are limited to 100 watts. I propose that the 100-watt li
It seems to me that the answer to my college roommate's (K4QPL's) concerns is that DX stations are already included. I was just trying to encourage their participation, thinking from the point of vie
Sorry Timo and all: I shouldn't have lumped the Eu Sprint in with the A-P Sprint. I guess the A-P Sprint is the only one that has picked up the low power limit of the NAQP contests. 73, John, K4BAI.
