Why should your company pay for the on-line service costs of thousands of e-mail messages a year? The networks are expensive to maintain. Using the networks for personal use increases the traffic, an
Fred, K3ZO has hit the nail on the head. I believe I am hearing the masses say that rule changes that make a contest a more level playing field are good. Hogwash!!!!!! Who cares who wins? Nobody real
N6TJ: K4LT: I like the idea. Of course, it could directly benefit me, too. So, I guess I am a little biased. If we had gotten 3 points per qso from VP5FOC and VP5VW in 1995 and 1994, we would have wo
It's only Thanksgiving in one country. Hardly a reason to move the date. 73, Doug K4LT -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: cq-contest-REQUEST@contest
Good point. But, if all participants were Americans, then we would only have a bunch of logs with no mulipliers except the zones. A very boring contest. (or actually, more resembling USA SS) We need
If I recall correctly, the CW bands nets people double points! If you operate between 28.000 and 28.100 (higher if you want to double that with /N and /T Novice/Technician qsos), you do not have to w

Ken, You're wrong. How many of the qsos were made with operations in the 20A category? Maybe 3. How many were 1A or 1B (like me)? Most. Certainly not less than 50 percent were 3A or less. I have been
I think the big barrier for me is my CQ being heard by people cruising the band. I know I am guilty of tuning the band and stopping on the LOUDEST signals. The weaker CQ's get skipped over (or maybe

I used to live within 5 miles of WD8LLD (now W8AV) and think I can comment a little. If the other station has a CLEAN signal, you should have little problem outside of 5 kcs of the other station. You
Well, I have to put in my two cents worth on the "you need a true M/S in CQWW" thread. I've been enjoying the M/S category in CQWW (with two transmitters) for 20 years and have never been in a winnin
Yeah, then we will need a new rule: "If you are CQing on the Mult Rigs, then the first new mult to be worked counts towards the 10 minute rule. Exception: 5 and only 5 transmitters may be used to sol
Just don't forget to report it... hi ;-) 73, K4LT (one of those revenuer's... ) About 12 or 15 years ago, an article in Ham Radio Magazine by Harry Hyder, W7IV, discussed a trenching technique that,
