Hello, I wonder if anyone is in a position to help us at the NCJ get some high-res digital photos of W4MYA quickly? Mark, N5OT -- The world's top contesters battle it out in Finland! THE OFFICIAL FIL
Hello fellow contesters. I have a job in Jackson Mississippi from October 19 through November 8 which takes me out of operating the CQWW Phone and the CWSS seriously. However, I have some time in the
My mom raised me so when there was something wrong with the system I should change it. Usually that just gets me into trouble, but I have to do it, because I spend my life trying to please my mom (ps

Warren the opera buff replied (Hey Warren, long time no see): I I am sure this is true. I think there should always be a space between the number and the precedence or you're asking for trouble. I n
Rex, K7QQ explained: Actually, this is also the reason I ask when some crack op sends "NR 15" on Sunday. I copied it just fine, but just wanted to double check AND there's definitely time to be thoro
How can I put this...I think most of us hardcore contest operators understand there's a time for it and a time not for it, and we act accordingly. Tom, if I worked you and you sent 01, it would be a

AD1C very competently straightened me out: All this new-fangled stuff. Sheesh. I'm going to be a codger before I'm old enough. Sorry if I was flippant Jim. Mark, N5 *OT* -- The world's top contesters
If you work him but don't log him, he'll never suspect a thing. Perhaps the writers of popular contest software could automate the process by including the AH.DAT option? Happy Thanksgiving everyone

I'm not pro-packet for single ops. Nevertheless, I just realized a twist nobody else has brought up (I don't think). First, let me say bazillions of posts are great for filling up your band map. If y
I will have to take back everything bad I EVER said about Packet. I got on for the 160M contest and called CQ and a bunch of Europeans called me. Now, I have never worked Europeans on 160 before. It
I would have to say that apparently the contest organizers do keep this in mind the vast majority of the time, given the relatively small number of times contest periods have been changed, compared

I don't think the ARRL's VHF contests are comparable to the potential for Ken's idea. Frankly, I'd love to see a CW contest on 6M. How politically incorrect of me. Mark, N5OT -- The world's top conte
