There probably isn't time to do this for this year, but something to think about for next year. Maybe some Big Gun could make a Public Service Announcement video that could be linked to from the main
It should be noted that as of this weekend, LOTW now has a 12% QSL rate overall for the 111 million plus QSO's. Not bad, considering a certain percentage are mistakes that can't be deleted (I have a

I'm expanding on one of the ideas posted from Yuri K3BU - as far as virtual contests go. Certainly WRTC could be moved to a virtual contest on the internet. What a great way to truly level the playin
The only JA I worked on 80m was JA3YBK, and he was up around 3810, and I think he was listening in the 3600's. I was thankful for the mult, but the split left me scratching my head. Tim K6GEP _______
I have a question from the BARTG contest, although I don't think it is specific to this contest. Since I am a newbie to N1MM Log, I made a mistake yesterday. I worked someone and gave them my QSO #43

DX QSO's are allowed and encouraged for the ARRL Field Day, and we'd love to work you. You just might be the first DX the Field Day operator has ever worked in his lifetime. It always breaks the mono
