Roger: I was fooled about the band change rule this year. There is no longer a band change minimum in the FD rules. I think it disappeared last year. 73, John, K4BAI. ________________________________
I should probably know more of the changed calls from then, but I seem to recall that K4GSU is now N4AR (heard as N4AR/8 yesterday), W1DGL is W1XX, W4OZF is N4BP, W5MYA is a SK, and I worked K6VNX la
Hello all: Following the example of N0AX as relayed in a message from K7SS, I contacted our local Columbus, GA newspaper about a week before WRTC 2006 in Brazil. A reported visited with me in my offi
Still SO1R here Thursday night. The MP that went to PW5Y is still in the shipping case, hi. If I had Jim's total QSO's, I'd want to report it somewhere too. Great going, Jim. I was ahead of you at th
I think that Pete's statement about human review is correct as applied to CQ Magazine contests. I think it is not accurate as to ARRL sponsored contests. As I understand it from those involved, the A
I doubt it would be observed. Note that 10-10 contests on 10 meters require that no contest activity be between 28490 and 28510, but there are nearly always stations CQing for the contest in that ran
I think that the concern here is that someone who didn't even get on the air and call can review a log and find a call that is very similar to his own (K4BI, or K4BAM, or K4BIA, or K5BAI, for example
I doubt that statistics on logging accuracy over the past few years would suggest anything about people's ability to zero beat and therefore make QSOs. I have often worked people who are much more th
For those of you using the NA logging program, you solve the same call, multi county operation by typing "Options" in the callsign field and electing the first option: QTH must match. This is the sam
Sorry to disagree with my M/M host, but I feel strongly that all the US stations who work us deserve to be in the log. We have no way of knowing who needs us for zone credit. At least from the 15 met
Working out-of-the band DX stations on SSB in DX Contests isn't a new phenomenon. When I heard about it this weekend, at first I thought maybe it was people who heard about the new 80 meter SSB frequ

No, the check didn't come from the birthday. The exchange was longer then. It included a date and time at one time. Then just a date. And toward the end of that requirment, the date was the month and

I hope stations in NAQP will continue to operate at least some above 3800, so the General class hams won't be left out entirely. Thanks for thinking of us. 73, John, K4BAI. __________________________
I don't think QST ever had a contesting column. It has (and still has) a contest corral. At one time, the contest corral gave synopses of contest rules, but it no longer does that. It never contained

The weekend of April 14 and 15 will bring the annual Georgia QSO Party. Georgia has more counties than any other state except Texas. 159 counties. Most, if not all, will be QRV in this year's event.
To supplement my earlier message about the 2007 Georgia QSO Party on April 14 and 15, here is a link to the GQP webpage: http://gqp.contesting.com/ 73, John, K4BAI. __________________________________
Doesn't seem to fit with my experience. I have done CQ WW CW single op many times since 1985 with no sleep during the contest. Since the contest generally starts at 8 PM Caribbean time and I find it
Georgia QSO Party is this weekend, April 14 and 15. All information can be found at: http://gqp.contesting.com. New Georgia agricultural product prizes are to be awarded for the out-of-state stations

Does anyone have a good address for submission of CQ-M contest logs this year? The rules on the website are for 2006. WA7BNM says to use the same address as last year, ua0agi@andys.ru, but I got a "p
In NAQP and NA Sprint, North American DX entities count as multipliers. I can't imagine that 4U1UN would not be a multiplier, same as XE, YS, KP4, etc. 73, John, K4BAI. ______________________________
