All the logging programs I know do that anyway, but since zones were not checked by CQ the last I heard, this is probably moot. IMO, one gets far more benefit from having the PC send CW, than from ha
"It is not ridiculous to consider creating new categories or modifying the ones we have." Sure, but again I ask, why focus on "SO2R vs SO1R" and not "4-stack vs 3-el tribander" or "4sq vs. low dipole
I had a ritual when I hosted a series of DX contest multi-ops back in the mid-late 80s... I would create a new custom dupe sheet after going over last years so I could get the area-per-country layout
Folks concluded it was wrong to identify SO2R operations while identifying no other "differentiating" parameters - lest it be construed that SO2R was "under attack". No one is trying to hide anythin
If we create a 24hr category in a 48hr contest, surely some, who would have operated, say, 30 hours, would cut back to 24. Others, who may not have operated much at all (say, 0-10 hours), just might
That someone was me and I stand by it. IMO, the "fix" for this issue is setting a large minimum offtime and ontime. It's enforceable; limiting listening time is not. And larger minimum times will no
I don't recall hearing about this in the past, but it happened to me several times during ARRL DX CW. I would be running on a frequency for several minutes/an hour/whatever and along would come a sta
I got quite a few responses (in private only, unfortunately). Some stated it is not new (is anything?) but has been on the rise in their opinion. To clarify a few points... I was not referring to fre
Heard in a contest, "You need to move. This net has been meeting on this same frequency every Saturday for 10 years!!" The response, "This contest has run on the same weekend for over fifty years. I'
Who's the "jammer" is in the eye of the beholder. Much of the DX in a phone contest operates split on 40m/75m. When S&Ping in the old days, one had to twist the dial and often got an opportunity to
I agree, Al. A bandplan, to me, is a lot like handicapped parking. Nothing is more frustrating than driving around a small parking lot over and over trying to find a place (and eventually parking ill

If/when I finish my shack, I intend to be able to operate my ARD amplifiers in a separate room. Remote control heads make that a no-brainer. I also use noise canceling headphones - these are great to
I think it's pretty clear that you should not send the requested info. I have received similar emails as well. Sometimes they even attempt to correct what /I/ have logged (They say, "I think you logg
It's really easy to add a Calendar event to the eHam website - it's all web based and you get instant gratification - just click the "Calendar" link in the left menu area, then click "Add event" near
and in as of Hell, they cannot even register on eHam with the correct call... However, IMO, what looks like a great number of "bogus" calls being associated with just a few DX stations being spotted
