4UA to 4UZ is a prefix block issued to the UN by the ITU which is part of the UN. It is not like SMOM which just asssigns 1A to itself. 4U1WB has paperwork from the UN documenting the license. 73 Ria
Thanks for the resolution Terry. Sportsmanship is what it's all about. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.cont
Hi Ron, Remember that DXCC is an ARRL program. The country list for DXCC for CQ awards and contests closely mirrors DXCC, however there are a few differences such as African Italy, Kosova, and the UN
DXCC has nothing to do with this. WPX is a **CQ** COntest and it goes by their list. Their list does deviate from DXCC in that they recognize a few others that DXCC doesn't. No, because Z6 is recogni
Looks like the log robot for CQWW is rejecting this callsign even though it is valid (Canada 150). I worked them on Sunday. Just so you know it's not just you... 73 Ria, N2RJ ________________________
It looks like the logcheck page will complain but the log will still go through if you press "send log to robot." I did that. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest m
I worked a few PR stations. They are there. More the challenge. But yes, they have more important things to worry about than a silly contest. Ria _______________________________________________ CQ-Co
Not self spotting... but may seem questionable if it's on your frequency. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.c
A lot of us who don't do sweepstakes seriously are working toward awards like triple play WAS. Triple play WAS requires contacts to be confirmed by LoTW. Please upload your log to LoTW. It costs you
At one point I thought it was 1998. Then I looked back at my actual license document which I found in a drawer (partly handwritten with bureaucrat's stamp and customs receipt) and it was October 31,
I like it that way. This way I can get things done on Saturday then in the evening hunker down and run the contest. This is a refreshing change from DX contests where if you work a regular job you're
I watched some old videos of contesting and a lot of it was slower back then too. Lots of slow phone, slow CW. Today we have computers which speed things up. That would explain it. Back then, you use
Once, on field day, I did that with a club. Never again. Oh, and yes the YL-OM contest rules still say dupe sheets. Im going to remind them to update it. 73 Ria, N2RJ ________________________________
I agree. I cannot play in the commonwealth contest from my USA home QTH but it's fun to see the discussion. Also AA DX and JIDX are difficult from here due to distance/propagation, yet I don't mind s
Youre describing hipsters. The hipster culture is kind of weird... and Im a Xennial which is in between millennial and genX _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-

Ive never heard that complaint from my 3. They help me with projects and they like making contacts with me. Of course I keep away from the upper end of 75m and certain frequencies on 40 and 20. They
With all due respect, I think you vastly underestimate today's youth. I work with millenials and I'm barely one myself (probably the term Xennial is a better fit). They work long hours, they pump out
Question - do you actually interact with younger people? Or do you simply look down on them? I have the opportunity to work with and network with many twenty somethings, and I know first hand that it
Given that contest sponsors require the exact frequency to be recorded - this seems like a fairy tale, or someone who just has a gripe against contesters. It would also be easy to prove someone is on
