Hi Chris: These seem like questions that are better directed toward your division director/vice director. They can explain the ARRL's point of view and reasoning to you better than anyone else. Very
I respectfully disagree with KI1G on the matter of 5NN and signal reports being obsolete in general. While I always give out 5NN as a report (the software forces this), I don't always receive the sam

Is that so?!?!???? What about the Multi/Single, Multi/Two (ARRL) or Multi/Multi stations? They don't use packet to land in a pile-up and call incessantly without knowing who the station is? I beg to
Actually, in DXbase 97 you can do just that. You can define extra databases for additional callsigns within the program. Just set it to ask you which log you would like to open when the program star

Hi Gary: I get a certain amount of those cards back after every bulk submission (2-3 K cards). I just trash them...haven't investigated the possibility of asking my buro to just trash them for me...w

Hello Felix: I beg to differ with your above statement. The KE2NL station, winner of the USA M/S category in CQWW SSB last year (call used KF2ET) and the CLAIMED winner this year (call used W2A) is e
