Im looking at my case. Under the current criteria I have not a shot in hell. Mostly because Im competing with W1 who has an obvious geographic advantage. When it was aligned with US Call districts it
Hi Robert, In the USA I have operated from Florida, Arkansas and Texas and remotely from California. The difference between NJ and Maine, NH or Vermont can be quite significant. Yes up here it is bet
Like I said, I have some preparation for 2022, including significant station improvements and/or another station. Yes Im aware of those who qualified from PA. There are many factors at play but its i
If we are talking about WRTC qualification, does it really matter if you get high scores in a contest? It only matters that you score higher than those in your qualifying area. Up here Im not competi
