Statistically I seriously doubt that contesters could possibly be the largest QST subscriber group. And before "taking action", you might keep in mind that ARRL also publishes a separate periodical a
Fantastic program, Alex, but as I wrote in the email to you, not being able to correct a mistake is a bit frustrating. But is it really a "mistake"...when the other station finishes sending the excha
Gee, maybe Alex can work in a virtual RIT with the up/down arrows for next rev? George W1EBI It is a truly a great program! My biggest problem is I keep reaching for the RIT when one of the calling s
Rats...busted! Full disclosure: I downloaded 1.4, then 1.5, but have not launched the program yet! I've read all the posts and keep meaning to give MR a listen, but haven't yet brought the pc headpho

Wonder if the "other" ops on MR send their logs to LoTW. It would be ironic if this great program was the "real" death of ham radio! Nah... George W1EBI I -- End of Original Message -- ______________
For my first posting to CQ Contest, I'll float a question that intrigues me: Every cluster I've signed into has come back to me with a "Welcome, George" the first time I signed on. If the packet syso

Wow, kind of a radio version of pga.com's real time Leader Board. Maybe even multiple webcams to entice an online audience. Then a "Contester's Tour." Regional teams from the unlimited clubs battling
The prevalence of cheating in ham radio contesting still baffles me, given that there is no tangible gain for "winners"--merely bragging rights! But maybe there is some correlation between those who
I noticed during WPX CW that N1MM Logger sent spots for stations like RO4M/6 as "RO6/RO4M", the so-called "normalized" callsign. I logged him each Q as he sent it, assuming log checks would bounce th
We're talking about working split, right? How would I know if a second station 20k away from the one I'm calling is also listening on my xmit freq? If I call him two minutes later and he says I'm a d

Yes, "Precedence" is a totally bizarre word anyway. I was guilty of sending CK several times. "PWR?" was immediately obvious. George W1EBI I found "PWR?" worked as well as "PREC?" in getting fills du
I am definitely collecting paper QSL's for the DXCC I finally earned after 40 years away from ham radio, but LoTW is a terrific solution for all those additional band/mode credits for DXCC Challenge.

Not to play "can you top this", but I received a direct QSL card from a station for which our 40m QSO in CQWW SSB 2005 was a -N! I sent a note to K3EST, who had the other guy's log rechecked, my 40m
