If it is true that SO2R operators have a scoring advantage over SO1R, and if a new category were introduced that said something like "only one radio used for transmit", and if SO1R is allowed to list
The reporting from the SS log checking is a wonderful=20 change for the better. In contesting, more information=20 is always better than less. So, even though my own=20 report shows I copy CW too poo
Its a little hard to get used to having to look at the screen to know if anyone came back to your CQ. Several times I looked up at the screen and saw that I was sending CQ in someone's face. I rememb
Does anyone know of a Windows True Type font with a slashed zero? Either free or for a price. The only built-in Windows font like this is the one named Terminal, and its not a True Type font so I nev

Can anyone offer the rationale for the "6 band changes/hr" rule in ARRL m/s? Having not participated as an operator in multi/single, I had this mental model that the m/s category was an opportunity t
I was a bit surprised to find in the responses to a question I asked about multi-single rules that they are designed to outlaw the octopus. I fail to see why the "one signal at a time" rule wasn't go
If "two radios" is a separate class, then what class am I if I run one transceiver and one receiver (remember those boxes that came with with no mic or key jack?). Clearly I'm in one radio category?
<< Single Op: One radio..... period. Single Op-Two radios: One op, two radios. Multi Op-Single Radio: As many operators as you want, one radio...period. Multi Op-Two radios: As many operators as you
You're Micheal Jordan playing baseball. You don't expect opposing pitchers to put nice fat strikes down the middle of the plate just because you're the greatest basketball player in the world? If you
One solution is to design the contest such that undetected cheating is impossible. Like what N6TR and company did with the internet sprint. Here is a contest that doesn't have the problem: 1. Part of
I don't think its impractical to teach hams new concepts! How is it that everyone knows what it means when they hear "5NN" on the air? Answer: over the years everybody has run across it and now know

"all CONTEST software is written for SoundBlaster" -- not. There exists CONTEST software written to the Windows multi-media API so it runs on just about any sound hardware you might plug into a PC. I
