Hi -- Looks like I'll be 'stuck' in London for the ARRL CW weekend. Any one know of a good station or multi-crew that wants an extra hand somewhere around G/EI/F/ON-land? -- Eric R3/K3NA -- CQ-Contes
Is there a place to check for confirmation of e-mail log submissions? I still haven't gotten a confirmation for my 98 WW phone HZ1AB log. -- Eric K3NA scace@uu.net -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.co
http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk Tardis is an excellent program if your computer occasionally accesses the internet. It updates the clock and also tracks clock performance, making updates less often as i
This would be fun to try in a Sprint. The sending station callsign should be included in the check sequence calculation. And we can take care of paper loggers and casual participants by allowing a "b
K7NT said, in part: "Have you ever been in a really noisy room for a long period, and then had the noise source stop? Remember how absolutely relieving that can be? Loud noise is inherently stressful

According to my understanding, log checking does NOT work in the way described below for this scenario. The problem cited (HC8A losing the KL7Y QSO, multiplier, and penalty QSOs) would occur if KL7Y:
Unfortunately, in various equipment moves, it appears that I have lost/misplaced/left behind the little box the matches an RS-232C cable to a TS-940. I vaguely remember that someone wrote up how to i

Two questions: 1. Why is it named "Cabrillo format"? I'm missing a piece of contesting folklore here. 2. My understanding of the discussion to date is that Cabrillo format log submissions do not list
Hi -- PVRC has nominated me to lead a WRTC-2000 team... and now I need to chose a good teammate. While I know many great USA contesters who might fit the bill, there are surely many others that I do
I don't think noise canceling headphones do much to shut out the loud-mouthed operator sitting next to you. That does not meet the profile of "noise". They will cancel white- and pink-noise sounds su

Art is correct. When 3D2XX activated Rotuma, Rotuma was rarer than the Spratly Island group: it was the first major expedition ever. After 5 days on the air we entered the WW contest. Everyone had a
It is very common, on the east coast of USA, to hear LA/SM/OM and maybe G/GM/EI stations on 20m for hours after the band has closed to the rest of Europe. The OH's seem to be the last to fade out, wi
Gary -- A better solution to the "Ws not logging Ws" problem is education. Contesters on this reflector will quickly pick up on the need to log (and mark) dupes and same-country QSOs. But what about
Rather than publicly post UBN reports, it would be much more interesting to publicly post the actual logs. I could learn a lot more about contesting by comparing my effort to others to study propagat
