Hi Kelly, You said something that piqued my interest... I'm assuming that you are using a logging system that was warning you that a 24-hour limit of operation was about to be reached. Can you descri
If the term were defined, then programmers could code to address it. Unfortunately, it appears to be a rule without a meaningful definition. There are several such rules, so it is in good company. :)

Paraphrasing Kenneth's post, "Using the number of log submissions as the criteria, VHF Contesting is on the decline, and HF Contesting is on the rise." In the USA, the Amateur Radio population is div

This has got to be a new record for spots. -- Dave's note raised a long-term (and much more broad) question that I will ask rhetorically here. How does one define "spotting" within the context of an
