If you are frustrated about trying to win a DX contest from home there is a simple solution. Do what I do and go be the DX that everyone is chasing. I realized a long time ago that I would never have
While it's hard to be sympathic to someone on the East Coast griping about a disadvantage in a DX contest I have to agree with KQ2M on his comments 100%.... No disrespect to my Canadian contesting fr

I don't see the problem with having multiple classes... With the computer checking we have it shouldn't be a big deal.... They have different levels in other sports - like auto racing - why not radi

I think the increase in activity in both the Sprint and NAQP are due to the fact that many people prefer shorter contests now a days. Maybe this is due to the fact that may of us just don't have the
I was saddened today to hear about Jim's death. I had recently just got to know Jim over the past few years or so from talking with him in Dayton. We had worked each other for many years but never ha

Here we go again...................... I vote leave ALL the contests the way they are....... If we ALL want to win, or level the scoreboard, you need to spend the money, have the location, and pay yo
Al, I think the case that most have made for removing packet is that people get away with cheating (i.e claiming SO when they are SOA) and the contest sponsors don't do anything about it. I guess I a
