Considering how few DQs occur, I assume those that were DQed this year were fairly blatant and egregious in their misdeeds. Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO _____________________________

Before my daughter started college she was in touch with a number of her future classmates via Facebook, IM, etc. One day she made the comment, "I'm finally going to meet the people I've been talking
That's why Medicare is going broke. When LBJ started Medicare (eligibility age = 65) the average life expectancy was 64. Congress, in its infinite foresight, forgot to index it with future life expec
I applaud your efforts, but wonder if you going to let them submit the logs? Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C
Perhaps it should be the other way around. The one point QSOs help equalize the inequities of the CQWW CW/SSB tests. For example, EU s get 2 pointers for QSOs a stone's throw away in another country

I believe the main reason is the network would be overloaded with endless self-spots. In the old days, when the network was on Packet, that would have been a problem at 300 baud. Nowadays, at least f
Why was the NNY section created? Was is to create a "rare" section for contesting? Certainly population growth wasn't the reason. Did someone with significant influence at ARRL push for it, similar t
I noted in the writeups of CR3E and 8P5A that they had full-time observers present during their contest operation. How many others were there? Who pays for them? Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lake
I guess it takes some people longer than others to realize that SSB contesting isn't fun, but most figure it out eventually :.) Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO _________________________

I had one station send his call /QRP. I logged it without the suffix. Barry W2UP (15m op at K0RF) -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
I had about 5 US callers. I simply work them giving them the correct exchnage, not log them, and move on. Even if they don't get QST, if they're interested they can look up online what contest is goi
I wonder how productive that really is, as: 1. Many stations would log the ZD8, not bothering to listen for an ID. Was the LZ smart enough to ID with every QSO? and 2. It will generate many dupes. I
While you may be able to get within 200 Hz of the next run station with your shiny K3, don't forget that the guy on the other end probably doesn't have one. He has to be able to copy you, too. Barry
Did you forget that the DX Cluster started and performed well for many years via Packet RADIO? Packet Radio died because of a superior technology. Those who don't adapt often go the way of the dinosa
