I do not understand why this is such a hard concept to grasp. Page 102 Oct QST: Morse contest starts at 2100 UTC and ends 0300 UTC. Now if you don't know how to setup your computer for that then that
David I must echo everything you've said. Additionally everything we do in the Contesting and DX world is done using GMT. When we submit our logs to LOTW it is done in GMT. Every clock in my 'shack'
To those who are new to DXing with packetcluster, within the last 15 years or so, Jim used the word fragile to describe connections in the early days. In the early days members of the DX clubs in bot
NO NO NO leave the rule alone PLEASE. The year first licensed carries some prestige. In my own case I would go from being a ham of 50 years to a ham of 10 years. As long as the same number CK number
Ken et al: That is fine except that is not what the rule says. It was unfortunate between this exact same time last year and this year someone at the ARRL didn't rewrite/modify, or explain, the rule.
If you are using the VE7CC software for your packet-cluster terminal you can easily customize it to what you want, or don't want, to see. Otherwise you can manually type commands, to your local node,
The number of LOTW QSL's I've received for Novembers contests and last weekends 160 contest are great. I guess uploading to LOTW has become part of the post contest routine. I only QSL via LOTW so I'
Dallas your analogy is interesting but not a true one. If there is rampant violating of a speed limit rule usually they change the speed limit. Which is what should be done here. Eliminating the assi
Let me try to answer this. It has been answered before but for some unknown reason it seems to fall on deaf ears. I am ex-packet-cluster sysop from the earliest days of packet clusters. The packet cl
Rich if you want to see/feel torture read the current thread here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dx-list/ They are beating up contesters mercilessly. We are the evil-doers who are spoiling their part
I just checked L.O.T.W. and I have almost 100 QSOs confirmed from NAQP, that's the good news. The bad news not one of those contacts was a new Band/State. So on L.O.T.W. I'm still short 1 or 2 on eve
WOW I guess my first question is where does this end? Do we start monitoring 2 meters, or telephone conversations, or even email/regular mail. Anyone who is shocked by N2IC's posting is still living
Without trying to sound like my usual 'smart-astronaut' self isn't the current big VP6DX xpedition using all K-3 rigs.... They seem to be having a lot of success and they all sound good..... Just my
During the 160 SSB contest Friday nite I worked VP6DI. The operator there not only called me by name but asked me how things are in my town, which he also knew by name. I didn't engage him in a conve
Hans I know how much you love to pull peoples chains so I'll bite: WHY????? If you have nothing to hide in your log why do you, or anyone else, care who looks at it. In your case, or mine, there are
I would like to suggest we stay with the original topic regarding this ARRL policy about rejecting QSOs for credit if a log is published. My question is how serious a problem is this.?. How many peop
Doug thank you for publishing that document. Once again K0HB was doing nothing but trying to pull peoples chains without having the slightest idea of what he was talking about. It is very clear the r
A long time ago in a land far, far, away we used to have to sign this form when we mailed in our logs: """"This is to certify that in this contest I have operated my transmitter within the limitation
It appears there were more than 2,000 stations who participated in WPXSSB. It also appears like somewhere near a dozen stations violated the rules, in one way or another.(that's less than 1%) More th
I created a simple poll and placed it on my website. It is on the opening page just below "Links". It is a simple yes/no poll. It asks "Should signal reports be done away with in contests". It is not
