Hal, This phenomena is becoming more commonplace over the last couple of years with the exploitation of some security weaknesses of Microsoft email programs. These virusses (virii?) masquerade as oth
Work whoever you want on any band and log them in one log file. Make sure your one (1) Cabrillo file that you submit shows your entry category as the correct single band. Your log will be scored base
I have to respectfully disagree that this is a foolish topic. Contest ethics, due to the "honor system" that is part of the contest landscape, may instead be the most important topic we could discuss

OK, so let's just throw out all the contest rules, since there are ways to cheat every one of them. Now, seriously: I'm sorry, but I cannot believe that we cannot define proper contest behavior in th
As much of a stickler as I am for the "spirit of the rules" and contest ethics, I must agree with Ken on this. In 31 years of contesting, warming up on the air *before* a contest starts has never bee
The recent recurring debates seem to be focused on a couple of key points of contention. 1) Some feel that you can't have a rule that can't be enforced 2) Some feel that packet should not be restrict

While we all hate the fact that the line scores are out of QST, and we all know that the biggest spenders in ham radio are contesters, the future ham demographic shows that ARRL members will not be t
Peter meant to say Alt-F9 to go down and Alt-F10 to go up in CW speed This would be good - along with allowing the editing of memories. I like to have: F1: CQ TEST N5NJ F2: 5NN ## F3: TU N5NJ F4: N5N
Jorge, You should submit only one Cabrillo log file containing all qsos you have made. Do not submit one file for your single band entry and another as a check log. The entry classification should in
The likelihood that a person who would need to do this would be within one qso of winning anything is highly unlikely. Not worth the trouble to guard against. Back to net. N5NJ Yes unfortunately you
Modern SO2R ? Was it really SO2R before then? I find myself in the somewhat awkward position of partially agreeing with KQ2M. I don't think Bob was the first to use SO2R, but more on that later. I al
Ron, If you weren't bothered enough to copy down their calls, why would you bother to tell the story? Someone could make up a story like yours without ever turning on their radio to just make another

Well, for me to have fun involving ham radio is very rare these days, but I did have an experience Sunday that was fun. I was running (more like jogging) stations on 10m at about 28.388 Sunday mornin
As many of you already know, we recently lost our good friend, Steve Miller N8SM, in a tragic accident where he apparently fell from about 50' on his tower. There were no witnesses, and Steve was wor
