Was browsing the Crowne Plaza website and it appears that reservations are now possible for Dayton 2007. I was actually able to book a two night stay there. 73 Rich NN3W _____________________________
They may have, but the window is currently open. Somebody else mentioned booking through the Dayton hotel's direct link to the chain's reservation system and finding that they are unable to book a re
Was thumbing through a box of stuff that I've uncovered from my old home and found documentation for an old Commodore 64 program - Doctor DX. Many of you may remember this old cartridge program which
Actually Ward, the full write-ups are available to the public as well... http://www.arrl.org/contests/results/2006/dxphone.pdf Would be nice to see the UBNs for the past two contests. 73 Rich NN3W __
Yes, but what happens if you get a card from both K4BAI and K4DAI? Do you really know who is correct? There are several NN3s and at least one NN2 running around the contest and DX circles. If I work
I think the ARRL is making provisions for situations where a signal report is not exchanged, but a QSO is made. For example, in the North American QSO party, the contest exchange is name and state/pr
K, although I can't find a single contest score reported by KC1J in the 3830 reflector..... _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://li
Well, that is oversimplifying matters by a large extent. VHF contests are not the exclusive operating ground for technician class operators. To the contrary, a great majority of VHF/UHF contest entra
I agree that this is a major problem. A major problem in the long term. I frankly cringe every time that I come up on QRZ.com and see a thread about CC&Rs and the standard argument that if you want a
Are scores a really valid measure at this point? While full scale SO2R has been around for several years, the inclusion of ready to travel SO2R technology and computerization has dramatically increas
I think the under 30 category and awards is fine. In fact, when the ARRL offered up plaques for the higest score for a single op under 18, I won it three times in 1990 and 1991. I've got the plaques
Checked the Fed. Reg., and the answer is no. Usually stuff from Federal agencies gets published 4 to 5 business days after release. So, with an release date of yesterday, I would expect to see it on
I always thought Nine Nine Three Whiskey would be a good call for a contest involving casual contesters....Or may be not. See you in the WW et al! 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________
Wow. This is deja vu. I was reading a NCJ from 1984 or sometime like that on the Metro and this same suggestion was made then - oh, yeah - by N6TJ then too. And I think the response was the same too.
I had about 5% of all my QSOs with other W/K stations. 18 or so of those Qs were (from my perspective) legitimate as the counted either for W/K as a new zone or and/or a new DXCC country. And I can c
I applaud all the efforts to ensure congeniality, but frankly its just never going to happen with 40 meters in its present condition. You have a 300 KHz wide frequency band that is accessible to the
Well, Rich you stepped in it. I agree that DC should be a multiplier - just not in sweepstakes. Sweeps has traditionally been a contest of ARRL/CARL sections or amalgamations of sections. It has neve
So you're saying that if you're running a frequency with a nice continuous pileup of DLs, Gs, SPs, IV3s, and HAs, some DL says, "hey, turn your beam a bit south, there's a 5H3 thats been trying to ca
"on the air". Meaning what? On 2 meters? On HF? Isn't this essentially a spotting net??? 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com
Didn't we cover this ground last month? How miniscule are we going to be when it comes to assistance? A) Your Alpha 87 blows up and the station owner helps you to swap out the blown linear with the b
