Stop reading CQ-Contest and call CQ! I can't remember having learned something here in a loooong time. Even thought about unsubscribing. Too much of the same pro-con discussions. A shame though, a l
I assume you mean less abundance in EU? As an educator teaching 17-18-19 year old kids, I can see / say that in EU there is as much PSP, Wii, PS 1/2/3, X-Box and (online) PC gaming as anywhere else.
Anyone who uses the "CW Freak" CW training software under Vista? Is it possible? I like the program and it worked under Windows XP. However it doesn't anymore under Vista (on 2 different PC's), altho

I have a friend who didn't do CW but had a passion for DX and contesting. I kept trying to persuade him to try CW_Get to copy CW and answer with PC sent CW. It took me a year of constantly bringing

I'd like to openly concur with the issues Martin LU5DX raises about SOAB(A) and M/x when it comes to WRTC qualification. Not that my opinion matters let alone be taken into consideration, but he shou
It finally happened and totally unexpected. My first real wooden plaque for a DX contest, from a DX contest sponsor, wrapped in DX plastic with many DX stamps. I seem to have made the best score in t
