I admit to making an "after contest" adjustment of my cabrillo file for the recent CQ WW SSB contest. I wasn't quite "with it" when I started the contest, and gave one fellow a "Zone 5" instead of my
Thanks, Randy: With all the "snarky, 'holier than thou' folks on this reflector who like to split hairs and stand on their high horse of hypocrisy" I figured I'd better ask the questions, lest someon
One very easy way to encourage folks to ID would be to NOT "Tailgate" the stations who do NOT ID between each contact. If a station doesn't get a call immediately, the op WILL ID Otherwise, "patience
For a warmup to the ARRL 160 meter contest, why not consider the QRP ARCI Top Band Sprint this Wednesday. It's held on Thursday, November 29, 0000Z to 0600Z. (Wednesday in most of these United States
