Hi Milt, While I happen to agree with your interpretation, which is what N8BJQ used to follow, the problem is that we can not afford to interpret - we must KNOW how the rule is being applied. Since i
Hi, I am interested in buying the M2 Inc. 40M3FS 3L 40 meter Full Size yagi in good-excellent condition. If anyone has one for sale, please reply off-reflector to me with price and condition. Tnx & 7
Hi Jeff, I am just wondering what your definition of "safe" is, with respect to the supplements and other things that you have taken. I ask this since quite a few so-called "safe" supplements, nutric
No, but I DO remember the callsign of the person who threw furniture out the hotel window and the callsign of the annual midnight lightbulb eater at the Admiral Bimbo (Benbow) hotel. And then there
Hi, There are probably as many "styles" and strategies of how to use S & P effectively as there are willing ops. However, it is **NOT** important what percentage of q's you make on the 2nd radio. The
Hi all, Somewhere around 1988?, I was coming back from a YCCC meeting in Auburn, Mass with Hal, K8HVT (now W1NN). We stopped at his house and I worked K8CC from Hal's station with my name and QTH (CT

Hi Everyone, I am a believer that rules should not be changed unless there is a CLEAR benefit to doing so. Coming up with an arbitrary number of band changes per hour (6, or 10 or 12 is just as arbit
Yuri, Please explain how a proposed rule change that LIMITS the operation of a M/S and RESTRICTS their ability to change bands to work mults, increase scores? Bob KQ2M and change will facilitate incr

Hi Ron, My comments are interspersed below..., reasons why it shouldn't be done. I don't recall him putting it to a vote. Well then, why did he provide a link to his blog to provide a rationale for h
I sure hope that those of you operating in ARRLDXCW this weekend and posting or reading this post are claiming an ASSISTED or MULTI-something category of operation. In fact, asking what the "JTT" Exc
Hi, I was recently reviewing my UBN report for the 2009 WPXSSB and saw the reductions for Not-In-Log (NIL's), incorrect exchanges, etc. That's fine. But the UBN report does not indicate what the pena

Hi Stan, Very interesting information and thank you for providing it! I think that a few of the numbers are incorrect though - the Qso's in Log calls in the columns More than 10+ through 90+ stations
Hi all, Just like three of the top teams in WRTC 2010, I would rather use my heavily filtered FT1000MP's! Actually I DID use them, and placed 5th with W7WA in WRTC 2002 in Finland and 9th with W7WA i
Dan, I echo Zoli's comment, the rule (if I understand it correctly) as you have it set-up is ridiculous. SB 20, 40 (for example), has wide participation and is VERY compeititve. To place high in the
Hi Ken, That's a really great listing of the top scores shown in so many different ways - by category, section, score, q's, mults, # of logs submitted by year, by section, etc. Thank you for providin
