W7WHY asks: I can answer this for the contests I check (SS, sprints, Stew, CQ160): In the first case - the call should be identified as a busted call when doing the cross check from the W7AA log into
One of the most frustrating activities with checking contest logs has to do with club names. To illustrate this - here are some club names that might all be from the same club: 5255609 45 BAVARIAN CO
All I have done my best to put clubs with different names together. However, I can use your help to find the less obvious ones. If you have a few minutes - please look over this file: http://www.kkn.
Thought I would share my perspective about log checking errors. As most of you know, I have been doing computer log checking now for some 20 years. I don't think it is a secret that a highly automate

The results of the 2007 Stew Perry Topband Distance Challenge have been posted to the web. You can find them linked from the main Stew Perry page: http://web.jzap.com/k7rat/stew.html The October warm
The Pre-Stew contest is the current headline at the Radio Sport web page http://www.radio-sport.net/ Just a few days left to prepare for this event. Most of you will have all day on Saturday to throw
Ah - the good old days... You could like tune around on a band and find multipliers that you could work with an average station. I noticed a couple of telling comments from "rare" stations in the CW
Art - K3KU asks: "What do you think?" I think most everyone should send in their log shortly after the contest. If you made a note to change something - change it - but that's it. I did NOTHING to my
While this is a fun thing to toss around - I hope nobody gets the idea that this would be a good thing to actually try. None of the logging software out there - or the log checking software - would b
Thought I would share some W7GG memories (also known as AI7B or W7TDK). It has been a couple of years since Bob has posted much to cq-contest. His unique style of using mostly lower case characters -
This conversation about sending your call in the SS exchange brings to mind a slightly related subject that I would like people to vote on. You can vote by getting on the air - and adopting the metho
I guess I am not sure I understand the scenario. If I am WP3R and have a pileup of guys calling me - there is still a chance the pileup might spill over onto a frequency that someone that I can't hea
Here I am in the ARRL 160 - about an hour before sunset. I am CQing and a station answers me... right in the middle of my passband... They are in the W8 call area. They come back after a slight delay
Yup - that's what I ended up doing. Just wasn't sure enough he was working me. In a few other cases, I actually tuned up or down to the next CQing frequency to see if the timing matched up - and if s
The results of the second PreStew event are now up on the Stew Web Page - http://web.jzap.com/k7rat/stew.html Many thanks to all of you who got on during this event. Our database shows 615 different
The CQ 160 contest is one that will go down in history. Many records were broken. However, along with that went really bad QRM as the narrow spectrum available to places like Europe and Japan were pa
W5UN mentioned KV4AA: I remember back in the early 1970s - operating a CD Party from Dick Norton's (then W6DGH - now N6AA). One of the fun things about this contest was you could work new guys on eac
Will the BY1V logs be submitted? I think the idea behind open logs is simple: "Sunshine is the best disinfectant". It's a simple concept - and seems to be working. 73 Tree N6TR ______________________
