Hello all: Weekend after next, the SECC and SEDXC will sponsor a revived Georgia QSO Party. We have 159 counties and will do our best to put all or most of them on the air CW and SSB. We have committ

Hi Mel: I think one of the reasons that many of us (myself included) give out a lot of 59 and 599 reports that we don't really mean in contests is that two of the three contest logging programs I am

Bruce: I haven't read the new rules yet, but there never was a limit on band changes for the single op. If it specifically says there is no limit for multi ops, there must be no limit at all. 73, Joh

The rule seems to prohibit soliciting SSB stations to go to CW in a CW contest and would also seem to prohibit going to WARC bands even on CW for that purpose. I tend to agree with Henry, Jim, that t

Hi Bill: I have experienced the inability to send those letters beginning in the late 1980s in 48-hour operations. The worst to try to send is the slash bar -..-. for me, at least. This year with a t

Hi Jeff: Boy, you had a great signal here most of the weekend. Unusual conditions for 10 meters. On the other hand, we had almost no loud signals here from the W1/2/3/8 areas. I'd always want you to

I think most checking software would show HG1H as a "busted call" based on the fact that it is one off of HG1S and the credit would be deleted (plus penalties in some contests). That was originally t

The worst problem I have with cw readability in contests is the very large number of stations who have dots that are so light that I can't read them easily. I guess this results from too many ops usi

ARRL Field Day Rules permitted operation on WARC bands until recent years and WARC bands are excluded now. I think it was considered that Field Day was not really a contest, but the rules were change

Jan: In my opinion, you don't want to call attention to yourself. You can put some of that stuff in your pockets or in a briefcase to pull out if you get stopped, but the idea is not to get stopped.

The answer to your question depends on where you live. My experience in Georgia at this time is that the percentage of requests for QSLs from stateside stations in contests is very small (with or wit
