Hey, that was VERY cool, Tree. As far as playback for WM5R goes, wanna bet you have a nice fat pipe at work and you're on a dial-up at home? Just a guess on my part, although processing speed might b
Greetings: I find that I will be in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, from tomorrow 3/17 until Monday 3/22. There is a slight chance I'll have some free time :-), so if there are any contest types out there that f

Hi Jim (and the rest of the gang): I like your scoring idea, but think it might be improved even further by making all contacts out of your ZONE count 3 points. All contacts within the zone count zip
Hi Andrew: I agree with your assessment. I see no reason to move the contest weekend. The holiday here in the States is on *Thursday*. The weekend is no different than any other. 73, J.P. W2XX -- ==
Hi Barry: Nice to see you jumping in to the 2-radio crowd. SInce you mention K3WW, maybe he will jump in. I think Chas runs 3 radios at once when the rates are not cooking. Typically, when the rates
