Jim, Are they available in Elecraft Grey? Will they be available in time for IARU? ;o) Oh and I definitely would be interested in either the Terminator or Clint Eastwood VOIP warning of violation int
My vote is for the ubiquitous PDF format. At least it will look as intended where ever it is opened... The face lift will be nice and I suspect the potential for some revenue flow is a big plus for t
Towards the end of the contest I had several folks miss one part of the exchange and they sent like 11?9 or 110? I filled in the missing number several times and then sent the entire number. It worke
Something that would broaden the appeal, particularly for award oriented folks, is if LOTW wasn't so limited to just DXCC and WAS. It would be nice if there was a sharing agreement of some sort betwe
Bob, The stations competing as WRTC participants all have basically the exact same station and antennas as I understand it. This is not true in "real world" competition. Then there is the real estate
Bob, Thanks for the details. I wasn't aware, although I can see where it would be preferential, that they provide their own equipment. Are they allowed access to spotting information? I agree that it
David, I think this statement is the best one in your email and what the discussion is really about: Myself, I chose to operate SO Un Assisted because I don't want to use packet. That being said, I d

It was really nice to see Log Checking Reports for the 2007 ARRL 160M test posted. These are very useful tools and are always welcome. My thanks to whoever helped pushed this through and to the ARRL

Hey Bob, Actually such a contest occurs every month, a two hour sprint sponsored by NAQCC. Many of the QRP contests tend to be more back to basics as well. Check here: http://www.arm-tek.net/~yoel/co
Congrats on the fast turnaround! Thanks to all the folks behind the scenes who put in the time to make this happen. CU next year... And Don't forget the upcoming September Tennessee QSO Party! 73, Ju
Hi David, I respectfully disagree... There is by far more honor and honesty in contesting than there is cheating. Cheats have a higher profile and "sell more papers". We should give more attention to

I'd like to thank all the folks for the great plaque (and super quickly delivered) plaque for the 2008 contest. The new nameplate is excellent, much easier to read. Kudos folks! 73, Julius Julius Faz
