The next Stew Perry contest will be held on the last weekend of December (29/30). We will also sponsor a warm-up event on the weekend of October 20th/21st. Rules can be found here http://web.jzap.com
I would be interested in knowing this as well - as it will give me a clue when I have to get the log checking done. 73 Tree N6TR tree@kkn.net PS: Well - okay - I would guess around the first weekend
I am nearly done with the Stew Perry Log Checking and plaque assignments. Is there anyone out there who thinks they can claim one of these prizes: Top Score with an antenna in a space < 20m x 10m? To
Yes - it is time for the NCJ NA CW Sprint again. CW is this weekend, and phone the weekend after. The server at jzap.com seems to be down, so the URL for the sprint survival web page is not working.

I had intended to stay quiet on the subject of self spotting - but I must come out of lurk mode and applaud Tonno, ES5TV, on the action he had taken concerning his log in the CQ 160 contest. It could

The CQ 160 contest has certainly exploded during the past 20 or so years and I would like to thank K4JRB for running this contest during this time. I am sure the amount of work involved grew signific

Hi all Just got back from a two week vacation, so am late to the skimmer party. Lots of interesting comments - good to see the discussion. Just think back about 20 years ago where the internet didn't
Any time there is some kind of gray area - we look to the leaders in our sports to take the high road. Anyone who is seriously competiting needs to understand that others look up to them - and they n
Lots of interesting reading on cq-contest about the skimmer concept. I think it is fair to say "one size does not fit all". What is one person's idea of a natural extension of technology will be anot
