A blood clot is what caused the death of NBC journalist David Bloom during his coverage of the war in Iraq. He had apparently developed a clot while spending countless hours cramped in or on top of t
Issue 1. This doesn't sound right... I thought computer log checking takes out most of this human element (each having his own process). Issue 2. Not being able to equate DU1/<call> with <call>/DU1 s
I don't believe it should be up to the log checking to know whether someone sent DU1/ or /DU1. What if changes from QSO to QSO? Sure the log checking can "guess" much like in SS where it has to "gues
1) My post (with the "legitimate" questions below) was part of a response intended to be directed (in opposition) to the assertion that one must "log what one hears no matter what" which is what the

I think it's more than a little disingenuous to suggest that there's some kind of virtue in using a deceiving callsign. Using a call like NP3D/2 will cause useless congestion and confusion. Its use w
No - that's the whole point. (Unless of course those QSOs are not in the other 4 stations' logs.) Mike N2MG -- The world's top contesters battle it out in Finland! THE OFFICIAL FILM of WRTC 2002 now
Clarification: They might still be NILs...but valueless QSOs generally have no penalties if removed. Mike No - that's the whole point. (Unless of course those QSOs are not in the other 4 stations' lo
Oof... doesn't pay to compose email when you're sick... You are correct Jim. I misread AA4GA's question. I think the answer to this question is clear. If someone deliberately leaves out SSB (or any)

While I agree technically, plenty of things get patented that are fairly obvious. It may not "stand" if there were to be a fight, but one stills has to fight it. 73 Mike N2MG can't see what
This already looks unfair (comparing, say, the free mults a DL gets versus the ones a US station gets) but multiply it by all the bands involved and it get much worse. A see a huge potential for misc
Needing to calculate (or wanting to maximize) points-per-QSO is obviously unnecessary today. I don't need to tell most of you that the problem back in the good ol' days was that in order to report th
I'm sure all the anti-log-sanitizing nazis will be happy, but the programmers might not be. Now they have but a few days to fix any Cabrillo-generation bugs that might not be discovered until late. (
