Yesterday and today, a total of 3 CQ WW certificates came with the mail. So the EU batch is unleashed as well ;o) TNX for that, as a small gun I love to get a piece of paper that says '#1" somewhere.
It seems that yet another batch of CQ Contest certificates is being mailed. I received 2003 WPX CW last week and 2004 WPX CW today, for which I like to thank the people involved. Keep it up, I apprec
To avoid top posting, see comments below... -- Original Message -- ... ... Dear Wally and all concerned As a coincidence, the UBA's team members from OP0HQ were discussing this very same matter only
For the UBA, OP0HQ has brought together about 45 operators from 10 stations. It's safe to say that if there had been no HQ operation in Belgium, only 3 or 4 would have gone Single Op, maybe only two
Those "12 QSO own HQ only" might be what you get if one were to set up a local 'pseudo-contest' within the IARU contest, where the goal is to be the first to achieve the 12 'flagwaiving' QSOs and thi
This problem of contesting and band plans has been brought up numerous times before. Especially on 40m where the bandwidth is just too small to fit all of us in. 40m SSB during a contest is really pa
I wish to thank the contest promotors for the following certificates: * WRTC 2006 for the UBA's OP0HQ operation in the IARU contest. * YO-FRR for the Romaina Award in the 2006 (!!!) YO DX HF Contest.

Correct! I work far more JA on 30m and 17m on my WARC dipole than in the contest on 15m or 20m with a yagi at about the same height! While over 90% of my log is contest activity. When we were allowe
I did and together with the MK2R+ I must say that it seemed much harder to *start learning* SO2R than this combo actually makes it. Now becoming good at SO2R, that's another thing... ;o) I took the
That happened to me in my very, very first CW contest "back in 2001" (UBA DX CW). No one told me about cut numbers and I could barely copy above 20WPM. I did not understand why they were sending me
Here's mine. Don't bother about scores or ranking and just get out to make as many QSO's as you want or can in any of the modes you like. For me, that's what contesting is all about. Winning is good
Peter, this is true. But some other neighbouring HQ's (F, ON, PA, SP etc) are probably closer to a big number of German stations than their own HQ. Yet, they don't work as many DL's as DA0HQ (on 160
I know first hand that this kind of work costs (voluntary) manpower and needs a budget. So I also would like to thank the JARL and the people responsible for this certificate. Indeed: covering the s
I got both the certificates (SSB + CW) in the mail today so the EU batch is coming. Thanks a lot for that! CU / 73 de Franki ON5ZO = OQ5M _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest m
By coincidence I was just reviewing my log for the same matter seen from my side. Last year I worked 7 stations from z3 on 40m, at utc times (all on Saturday): 14.51 (W7) 14.58 (W6) 15.07 (W7) 15.09
It shouldn't be a reason to cheat because no reason justifies cheating but indeed you'd get the impression that "assisted" seems to be equal to "lazy-bum-inferior-operator-couldn't-work-a-mult-if-he
I can confirm: 2001-2004 = random wire, SmartTuner, 100W: approx 4000 QSO each year. 2004 = simple low multiband dipole, no 160m, 100W, 1 rig = 8125 QSO 2005 = started with a 21m tower, KT34XA triba
