When S&P I use the old adage of work-em first and worry about it later. However not IDing complicates that strategy. When S&P I try to keep the rate up, so I often call a station before I know who it

I was going to tell a couple people that I did not agree with them but maybe I do, but not in the same way. I think that this non-IDing rule may indeed make things worse and not better. Promoting not

I don't operate assisted. Why? I'm not interested in RBN, skimmer, internet spots, etc. Those are cute technologies but of no interest to me. I do single-op, mostly one radio, and I balance running w

Bill KO7SS, what did you see that I didn't? What I see is US ops and overall do not want SO & SOA combined. And overwhelmingly so in the US. I don't want those combined either. I have no interest in

Huh? I do not use assistance, but I strive to get better, such as pushing running rates higher, better transmit antennas, better receiving antennas, knowing and taking advantage of the strengths of m
John K3TN, thanks for posting the survey, I had not known about it before this. However I have a few comments. I'm not trying to throw stones here, but ... sorry, really nothing personal Question 1:
