You may have copied someone who was working someone else on a few hundred hertz away. I have had stations acknowledge my report when I was in fact working someone else nearby. The station I was wrkin
A downside of a 2.4GHz device is you may have conflicts if have house phones operating there.The phones tend to be somewhat belligerent and muck up many of the wireless network routing schemes. I hav
I have been using both (eQSL and LoTW) since they started. Rate of return is similar for me with a slight edge to eQSL (overall LoTW about 13% and eQSL about 16% out of 100K+ QSOs). My sense (not ver

I was kind of surprised going through the rules as there used to be rule against such activity if I recall correctly. I haven't paid much attention to rule changes in that area though as I haven't wo
The CQWW rules prohibit self-spotting (to include asking to be spotted) for single ops (under rules section III, subsection A). I didn't see any restriction specifically mentioned for muli-multi or m

Comments about the DX window are interesting. If you believe the ARRL (a stretch for some) the DX window moved to 1830-1835 for CW several years ago (2001 I think). There was a big flap at the time b
The problem goes in cycles. It is getting worse at the moment. There will be some backlash as a result of discussion. The situation will improve some for awhile and then get worse again if it follows
I have been lucky enough to be on the other side in a DX situation and the calling can be constant. As observed here it doesn't matter what I might send many stations just keep sending. For some stat
As someone else observed the detection by the offender is much too late to be useful. The offender would probably conclude "you" messed up by not logging the QSO. There is nothing that would lead me,

The FCC required it prior to 1979. It was required by some contests up through the early 1980's and I seem to recall there was one that required it as late as the early 1990's. Which contests had the
How would expect the logging program to distinguish your case from the case where the previous QSO asks for a repeat of the exchange after you thought it was a done QSO? I see the latter far more tha
The quote marks are most likely enclosing the offending entry which is nothing according to you. Had you put in aa you would probably have seen I do not recognize 'aa' as a valid element of the excha
Personally, I rarely QSY but do on occasion. 1. If I have worked "most" of the stations on the band and the band you want to me to QSY to is where I intend to go next I might well go look for your ot
Tough target. WPX CW often coincides with Memorial Day weekend here in the US. What about holidays in other countries? Moving the contest just means that someone else will no doubt get the contest on
Last year we were trying to level the playing field by changing the scoring for nearly all of the contests [because everyone lives in a super DX QTH except "me" and "I" live in a "black hole" (please
