CW is my preferred mode for my small stn, however I still do all three (cw/rtty/ssb). That being said, even running just ~400w and a lowly HF9V vertical I got my best (any mode) SPRINT score, EVER !

So, would I be DQ'd for using Bluetooth wireless headphones and microphone in the next SSB contest? What if I was a physically challenged fella, bedridden and used a long wooden dowel in my mouth to

Hi Art, I hope I can understand where you are going, but respectfully, I must scratch my head. So you say (jn part) that ".In SS SSB 2014 my only NT QSO -- for the Sweep -- was with VE8DAV, but I'm n

I think Rick means posting ongoing live scoreboards, not post-test 3830 results scores, right Rick? Let's be clear. Of 3830, I have this to say: I love it ! I can air my beefs, tribulations, trials a

Hi Olli and everyone, Although I don't do SO2R (yet!) I do the same thing. When things are slow, I'll run up the band filling my band map with mults. Loud ones I'll call, and weak ones or ones with b

I see a couple locals (VE1/9) who are not CW ops (or in one case even licensed for CW) in the 2013 TO7A log. Yup, you guessed it. No logs sent to CQWW by these stns. -- The 2013 public logs are all a
