I thought you were against pre-fill (another one of your threads). So, you really don't copy 59 and then type it in your log? How are CA and CALIFORNIA more "consistent" than K and KILOWATT? Why can

So, I guess the NA Sprints should be extended to 48 hours by this argument? Heck, why not a full 7-day week and we can see who the real contesters are. Or, at least go back to the old ARRL DX Contest
Preliminary results are now posted for the NA RTTY Sprint of two weeks ago at http://www.ncjweb.com/sprintrttyprelim.php. Official results and article will appear in the May/June NCJ which is about t
Win-Test, N1MM Logger and WriteLog all support the NA RTTY Sprint with its "legal dupe" rule that allows multiple contacts with the same station on the same band as long as there are three intervenin

I suggest two enhancements to Kelly's wording: 1. "receipt" should be replaced by "receipt and usage", because one has no control over another station coming on the run frequency and volunteering tha
For several years, the NCJ NA CW Sprint has been log-checked with results posted 14 days after the contest. Three years ago, the same turn-around began on the RTTY Sprint. Seven days to submit logs
BZZZZ! Busted name ... you lose the post and get a penalty no more posting for three years. Common sense is to leave contest rules alone after significant history exists, which it does on both NAQP
Let's practice for 30 minutes on Thursday night to check out our stations for CQWW RTTY this weekend. Actually, let's do 30-minute practices to accommodate Europe better. The first one is more conven

Yeah, you're right, of course. I've had too much sun stringing Beverage feedlines and fixing antennas ... not thinking clearly. My brain fade calculated 10pm local in Europe, moving the clock the wr
