Due to my "newbie-ness" the following new records for score were not made a part of the web report or the NCJ print report. I'll try to get these added. Congratulations to the following operators for
I certainly qualify as an active contester, but would like to add to the comment from AF5CC (whom I do not know personally). He posted " I thought it was one of the more interesting issues I have rec
I'm writing the results article for the recent NA CW Sprint article, with the help of N6TR's data analytics, and would like to receive some photos of operators who were in the "Big Show" Saturday nig
With all due respect, the discussion on climbing w/out the OSHA-approved climbing harness (Personal Protection Equipment) and/or taking any sort of risk by free climbing or being unattached at times
Let me "second" and underscore my support for getting NCJ (my favorite mag) and QEX on digital for all ARRL members. It's a class move and does not add much if any operating expense for the League. I
Also, for the perfectionist, you can buy professional caliber stubs from W2VJN (Top Ten Devices). He did my stubs for my SO2R setup. Jim N3BB I have built mine very much like this. I used wave/4 inst
As most everyone knows, the NA Sprint runs this weekend. Hopefully a whole bunch of this group will be on. Please check out a team in your area and take part. Or just get on. The key thing is activit

Tnx Art, fascinating. Cultures are really complex. Rocky Savory's name, in Kata Kana would be pronounced "Sa bor ree" or something like that. I spent a lot of time in Japan (JA1, JA7) with a JV betwe
Remember also that the "NCCC mini sprint" runs for a half-hour every Thursday night (USA local time) from 0230Z till 0300Z Friday Zulu time. Thanks much, 73, Jim N3BB ________________________________
I have all the schematics and component information from complete instruction manuals, etc, and wonder if there is a brave soul out there who would be willing to let me ship him several of my "dead K
I agree with John. For me, with no Internet in the radio station and no interest in having it, the "Classic" is a category of great interest. In the WPX, it's mainly a run-fest anyhow, and so the add
My best Christmas and Hanukkah greetings to all, As a reminder, the "Big" Sprint is coming up in February. A "sprinter's guide" is up now on the NCJ website, so please check it out and give the Sprin
