All things being equal (and they never are, of course), scores in SS will rise by a factor of .0375. Yawwwnnnn! I have bigger things to worry about. But if we need to have controversy, this one beats

In my not so humble opinion, using two frequencies on the same band during a contest is inconsiderate at best. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@conte
I'm lost on this one, guys. Why should a station (just because they're low power, or DX) be privileged above us "commoners" to a second QRG for clear reception? Good luck on this one now! 73, Hans, K

Some here have proposed that we could solve the problems in contesting by a variety of means, including video recordings, audio recordings, 1-hour log deadlines, elimination of traditional single-op
Eureka! N2IC mentioned XE-inspired beverages, and W7DRA mentions wife. So I tried some of that beverage. It came to me in a moment. There is SIN in SINgle Op! Hereafter, all ops must be MARrried (not
