What's even more frustrating George is that the #'s indicate this should have been a 'decent' weekend...or at least as good as CW WW... Need more folks to get on and Transmit and fewer to look at the
So Ron, By the logic of your comment below, couldn't someone just as easily just "listen" on the air, copy a few calls that VP6DX worked (to give him/her a range to validate his claim) and then submi
So if I'm sitting in W7 land operating that neat remote station in VP5...with a VP5 callsign who am I competing against...other Carib stations...no advantage there...in fact I'd rather be sitting in

All true...but how many ham's do NOT have more than one e-mail account? I'm willing to bet most everyone has hotmail, yahoo, or gmail as well as a more 'standard' ISP. And in all the years that I've
But if "Skimmer" was part of the "Assisted" category then your "unassisted" record wouldn't be affected...or did I miss something in the translation? I'm assuming your 10m SBSO effort was of the unas
Hi Bill, Understand and agree. My premise was that skimmer would be lumped in as assisted. Frankly I think skimmer would be a big advantage over packet in that it is id'ing only those stations HEARD
Some of you may have seen this(these) video(s)...if you can forgive the non-contest bent...I think you will 'see' the bigger picture... ...then again, maybe not...some are just "shiftless"... :) SHIF

Ah, here it comes... QSL'ing is 'the final courtesy' of a contact on the air so everyone must (should) QSL...even a contest QSO...which arguably is not a QSO at all but a simple exchange of data (W1M
Hmmm... So "you" would rather stay in the dark ie. competitors positions in real time vs. having an unofficial, "voluntary", after contest posting that should be madatory? At least for the participan
Aw geeze...gotta get that political jab in there... :) Could be worse... we could all be trying to figure out what the 57 states were... Ok...now we're even... No more politics please... ____________

Check out Best Buy...they (the one in my area at least) have a new e-Machine that is a small form factor and XP Pro...for $250. They have figured out that Microsoft Virus (Vista) is not on everyone's
