I have received a number of e-mails about certain logging programs not producing the correct Cabrillo format for the Stew Perry logs. Here is a "statement" about the problem. Hopefully, this will hel
Well, the "missing field" isn't missing anymore. We fixed the documentation error on the Cabrillo website that created the confusion. QSO: 1800 CW 2002-12-28 1503 K7RAT 599 CN85 N0AX 599 CN87 The "f
I am sorry the BARC is making people lie. It seemed like the best "solution" given the paramters. The request above makes no sense. You have to see the logs that we get over time and realize that pa
Kevin, KE6RAD wonders: Technically, there is no such thing as "other" time. Your time is either "off" or "on". In my previous postings about off time, I suggest that the world is a better place if we
I love it. I have always though in the VHF contests that we should do something similar - like 2 meters at 14 past, 222 at 22 past, and 432 at 43 past... Six meters at 50 past. Tree _________________
Interesting to see the morphing (and non-morphing) on this thread after not following it for a day or two. I think anyone who is suggesting a different approach (like ADIF or XML) may be 100 percent

The Subject just looks wrong - like a busted call or something, but it is with great sorrow that I report that Phil Goetz, N6ZZ (ex W6DQX and K9ELT) passed away on Monday. This is a great loss to Ama
Glad to see we finally have some traction on finally resolving the long running assisted versus un-assisted debate. Okay - tongue back out of my cheek. I have a very concrete example of the differenc
Interesting discussion about remote stations. I fully agree with the idea that as long as only the operator is moved out of the equation and all TX and RX stuff is done in the same place that there i
It is rather interesting to compare the two cases: 1. Remote receiver where the audio comes back to the operator and he listens to it. 2. Remote receiver where some OTHER operator listens to the data
This is going to be long but I hope it will provide a glimpse of some aspects of Phil Goetz' life that you probably didn't know about. When we see our good friends precede us in death we often feel h
As Leigh points out: This is the biggest problem when you go beyond the standard "N" and "T" and the somewhat newer standard of "E" for 5. Another aspect of this discussion that I don't believe has c
During the recent Russian CW contest, I found myself in Topanga, CA at the QTH of N6AA. He has a pretty nice QTH and antenna system, but I decided to operate the contest using my laptop - connected t
I look at it as both something to help me do DXing on 160 meters when the urban growth boundary makes it hard for me to continue to hear weak signals in a year - and a way to operate a contest that
At the risk of jumping to conclusions - based upon the number of e-mails with this subject that I have been deleting without reading - I think a mountain is being made of a molehill. Using common sen
Funny that this thread started about the time I sent in my order for a new contest radio. That would be the Elecraft K3. When the K2 showed up - I was hoping it would be my new contest radio to repla
This article is a little hard to follow without the speech: http://www.sherweng.com/documents/Dayton2007w.pdf But - I think I might understand what is trying to be pointed out. If you look on page 19
Having done some playing with remote operation - I think it would be hard to be as effective as an operator when using a remote station - compared to being there in person. The biggest issue is late
As part of the Elecraft K3 beta test team, I thought I should give the contesting community some initial impressions of the radio. I am testing serial number 013 (although the serial number tag is st
