I did the same, using the more recent phones that they advertise as being standard at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So far they're holding up fine. Compared to some of what I've heard recently comi
Particularly if you don't have K indices of 3-5 for the first 24 hours! I quit at 1300Z on Saturday and spent the remainder of the weekend outside. As Johnny Cochran might have said if he was a ham,
Surely, it should be elementary to compare the list of logs received against the to-be-published results before they go to press? Of course, that assumes that they maintained a list of logs received
I agree that the current error rate is intolerable, but don't think that e-mail is to blame. If anything, e-mailing logs should make it easier and cheaper to maintain a backup copy, stashed somewhere
I'm toying with the idea of starting a Web-based "magazine" for contesters and DXers, to be called something like Performance Radio. I got thinking about this because I realized that I'm receiving, o
Thanks to the many who responded to my earlier teaser about starting a webzine. Too many to list, all sounding favorable, though one (who shall remain nameless to protect his privacy) said he's alrea
Years ago there was a discussion on the reflector (long ago enough that it was about the only reflector out there, other than "DX") about the mail-order availability of a programmable keyboard that a

I'm a little concerned that 5-6 more, relatively pervasive, multi-band, multi-mode contests a year could precipitate quite a backlash from non-contesters. At least currently we can argue that on most
So, let's look at a typical contest exchange (actually better than typical, because my mythical running station signs his call each time, and doesn't simply ask "QRZ?"): "1Z1A QRZ?" "N4ZR" "N4ZR 59 2
There's an interesting article in the current NCJ comparing the results of propagation forecasting and experienced operator intuition in planning band changes during CQWW. Of course, there are a lot
