Dick, I don't share your interpretation of FCC rules on this matter. If a station owner designates you as the control operator of his station, he is NOT (in my opinion) bound to observe your operatio
My one-year-old FTdx-5000 is essentially immune to adjacent transmitter overload. Best I've ever seen, and I go back a ways, including 21 years as a Navy Radioman. 73, de Hans, K0HB But when it comes
I wouldn't be inclined to identify the station publicly (this time) but rather submit my evidence to the sponsor of the contest. "Peer pressure" and "public humiliation" are not synonymous terms. 73,
In the App Store I found "HamLog". Cost 99-cents. I didn't download it, but from the description it seems to be surprisingly full-featured. 73, de Hans, K0HB "Just a Boy and His iPad" _______________
Young guys can skip this post. Years of copying NSS, NHY, and NKA fox broadcasts on tinny sounding little Navy headsets with large calibre naval guns going off nearby has finally come home to roost,
http://www.playchess.de/articles/1 Humans have an incredible capability of rationalizing their own behaviors. Does anybody truly think that the following infractions don't happen all the time?? _____
Once upon a time it had something to do with "Postal Regulations". Now that USPS is a semi-private corporation, I'm not sure that excuse continues to be valid. 73, de Hans K0HB ______________________
Two points -- 1) A number of US organizations have their own internal "bureaus". Haven't heard of any of them going to prison. 2) The card sorters at Newington are our employees. If they object to th
Excellent. We all owe them thanks. But if the workload is too much, I suppose they could un-volunteer. My domestic QSL's run about 5:1 over my DX QSL's. ARRL could use the increased revenue to hire m
Steve, I think it's taking the elves at the LoTW server some time to chug through all the data. My total was stalled at a little over 100 for quite awhile, then one magic morning it spurted up to whe
Should we just "call it good" at 50% of the logs, Doug? 73, de Hans, K0HB Disclaimer: No contest sponsor is crazy enough to invite me to serve on their committee. 2011 SSB CQWW Deadline was many week

I'd support the idea of A "(x) QSO's per ID" rule where (x) = 3 or less. Easy to understand. Easy to enforce. 73, de Hans, K0HB -- "Just a boy and his radio" -- Proud Member of: A1 Operators - http:/
I don't see any language which requires a call sign to be sent, BUT you are required to enter WHAT IS SENT, so I assume that means that an <null> entry must be transcribed in your log. 73, de Hans, K
I would disagree that grooming your log /post contest/ with an audio recording is acceptable. I believe that my log ought to reflect what I actually recorded IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE. No exceptions. 73,
Agreed, Kelly. I'd consider a correction note scribbled in the midst of the contest as perfectly within both the letter and spirit of the competition (unless that note was "check my audio recording o
On correction from a couple of guys, Mexico IS a multiplier. My error. But then, with 31 states and a "Federal District", we could have a lot more multipliers! 73, de Hans, K0HB Hawaii is a multiplie

SweepStakes has always used Sections for mults. Other ARRL tests (ARRL-DX and NAQP come to mind) use states, provinces/territories. RAC contests have never used sections that I can recall. Your cause
Ron, Some folks don't care for this because VE3 has always been a sort of free pass -- "VE3 = ON". Now they'll actually need to COPY something. 73, Hans, K0HB ________________________________________
