While the DX vs State issue for KH6/KL7 has some merit at least as far as getting CT to score it correctly, as far as sending in your Cabrillo log, the issue is moot. This is because the Cabrillo for
There is plenty of online gaming (not casino) that is very popular. You get to play your favorite PC game, not against the computer, but against another gamer. The "game" is definitely different, but

It seems this request (both prior to and during a contest) to "spot" someone comes all too often. I find it more than a bit unpalatable when I see it, yet I do understand it. Perhaps if more folks ma
