Hello Jorge! Yes, finally... we have managed to recover from the backlog of SSA plaques and awards. The SAC contest has a rotating scheme of organization and not always this is the most efficient way
So my idea about using motorize control room tables with possibility to either sit and to stand as per the contest operators own wish is after all not that crazy? :) http://www.cgm.se/eng/business.ht

Hey guys! Next time try some Russian Extreme Contesting :) During ARRL DX CW 2010 I got the insane (according to my wife at least) idea to work the contest from our uninsulated logcabin summer-house
If we start to change points for different zones, this will create a huge mess. See CQWW as a contest where you first of all challenge your own previous results by building better antennas, increasin
Hello! It is correctly assumed that RBN actively searches stations by looking for the letter combinations CQ and/or TEST. It means that highly efficent/skilled QRP and LP Search and Pounce stations c
Paul N0AH expressed things in a perfect way... Additional to his comments, I would like to remind some readers here that most radios actually have a VFO knob making possible to change the QRG a bit..
