Vic used to be W1EOB back in the 60's and 70's. He was an iron man cw op too! Pete, W1RM Hello, Some of you may recognize the call sign N4XR or even more HH2VP. Vic has been a prominent person in ear

The SS exchange emulates the preamble/header of an ARRL format message (traffic) so each element is required. Sending the call a second time isn't all bad because it helps the receiving station verif

Can someone explain to me why everyone calls all the time? It doesn't matter if the other station is listening, sending an exchange, trying to get a call. How many W# call when the DX sends N1? This

Point taken and done quite often. The problem is the idiots calling on top of the station blow it out of the water so you can't copy the fact that the station came back to you! Dump it in is reinforc

Going split, using XIT et al is great but it only works if you can hear the station you're calling which is often difficult given the din of callers right on top of him! This is not the solution to t

Sounds as if the op was using a call history file with names. Pete, W1RM His logging program was definitely doing a call sign lookup. I don't use "Ronald" on the air. So whenever someone calls me tha

In the time it takes to say dupe/b4 or not in log, etc. it's just faster to work 'em again and move on. Besides it doesn't break the rhythm of a run. Back in the day of the dupe sheet (remember those

In the fantastic video of WRTC 2014, there are several shots of ops using Bose headsets (they look like the Bose QC-15 which I have) with a boom mic attached. KL9A was one. Does anyone know what that

OK, I'll step in here Bob. The rule was not idiotic at all. In fact it was well thought out and carefully done to remove an advantage that a group might have over others. Keep in mind the purpose of

Apparently ignored by both the ops and the log checker. As we all know, rules are only as good as their enforcement. Pete, W1RM Sadly, for a number of years, the rule was ignored. How do you think a

As much as folks try, there will never be a level playing field. The folks who do WRTC try their very best to make each station location as the same as the others and yet, that doesn't do it. The onl
