Yes but since I´m sure that over 90 percent do use PC loging I can´t understand why so many dupes you. In the CT9L M/2 CQWW CW operation that I took part in we worked over 300 dupes and t
Hmmm, so now before you spot you gotta think "is this a friend of mine and does CQ commitee know it". This is too much! What is the difference, lets say I have a SM2 friend that I spot and I also spo

I suppose someone here might know this. If you are M/2 is it any possibility to get statistics on what rate each operator did have? Did look but haven´t found anything yet, only did show the ma
Yes ofcourse, I do ask myself the same, however when you have a HUGE pileup and rate is 200/hour I can´t think too much on anything else but trying to get call signs, atleast during Saturday we
Yes that´s what we did, for the same reason as you state below, however I still think 318 dubes was too much. Maybe that´s normal and I´m just not used to it, whatever.... as they s
Yes about the same. We had 318 dupes in a 11490 QSO log so that´s even less then some of these figures. Guess that´s what you have to expect. I suppose I´m not used to logs with tha
Has the FCC totaly stopped to enforce/or controll the HF spectrum in the States? Seems to me they have a lot of work to do. In Sweden the "Swedish FCC" hardly does anything these days, most people th
Since I will be in Boston 26 dec to 7 Jan is there any big radio installations I shouldn´t miss? (part from KC1XX) Also is there any radio surplus stores in the area? Anything else I shouldn&ac

Even if the IARU band plan is a recomendation I find it hard to understand why in this case RAC doesn´t follow it. Things like this makes it confusing for people and the trend not to follow int
Well everything is relative someone once stated. For the first time in 30 years I did try RTTY contesting, go figure why! Just for fun I worked almost 500 Q´s and I was only active some hours d

I´m woundering about how much HD space that might be needed to record a 48 hour contest, N1MM or WL software. I know it depends on how many Q´s one makes but if someone with experience ju
Thank´s fellows, W0MU OH6LI K5TR W2RU K6LA W2UP GW4BLE K3WW N0TA SM5AJV and W2SC, I now have all info I need. See you in the contest I hope. 73 Jim SM2EKM -- ___________________________________
Yes Dale, look below. I would say that the consensus is that one would need 1 GB to be on the safe side. I was just after rough figures, i e if we are talking a few hundred MBs or 1 or 2 GBs, 2 Gigs
