Based on your findings, I'd say you found a bug in the log checking. I suspect that the LC strips out whatever is after the portable sign "/" and just looks at the call, unless what is "after" the /
This is a pitiful comment, ostensibly made by the ARRL "contact person." This shows complete disregard for their customers and also shows that they don't care about it. ARRL made a big deal out of it
I'm not a big believer in looking too far back in time to discover what is being used "now." Here is what the top 20 SOAB world (by score...the only measure that counts in CQWW) used. DQ'ed guys are
OK, I admit it. I have NEVER been a proponent of SCP (or that ilk). So I'll once again (been many years now, so it's time) ask why SCP is allowed for non-assisted entries (or at all). For me, either
Yes, the answer depends upon 1. How loud I am 2. Speed / Ability to copy QRQ cw of the other guy 3. How loud he is relative to band conditions and QRM WAE is one of my favorite contests, exactly beca

Gee whiz. I hate rumors. First, the only people with a U rate of 50% are people who make 2 QSOs and get one wrong. Most U rates are very small (the vast majority are under 0.5%). Yes, that is one hal

Interesting question. Of course, we all "know" that popularity has been increasing over the years. And there is some variation proportional to the sunspot cycle. But here is the compiled data. My app
Same "everything" as prior post, except now for EUR M/M. Same conclusion, but to a different degree. Trend line formula is approx y=251x + 1430. Remember, that there is an incentive for EU's to work
