Hi Jim. You can do what I did. Copy the files to send in a directory and zip them. Then send 1 zipped file. Eddie says he will accept a zipped file and I think a lot of the others will too.. 73 Tom W
Hi Paul. That sounds good, but if you give the tech plus's ssb priveledges on the lower bands, how many would work cw. I am on the VE team here, and I get dismayed how many are satisfied with the no-
Hi Don. You are right on the money with this posting! I am on the VE team here and we don't administer more than 4 or 5 cw tests a year over 5 wpm. Once they get on 10 meters and the sunspots come ba
HI Gand Can I enter the T/W catagory with a 20 meter monobander and wires on the other bands. Now I'm using 160 inv "L", 80 dipole, 40 meter verticals, 20 meter monobander, 15 meter delta loop and 10

Hi paul. I don't think it is in the rules anywhere that a station has to qsl when he operates a contest. Sometimes unsolicited qsl cards are a real pain in the a_ _! Especially if you get 2 or 3 hund

Hi Pete. If you want to check WWV prop. info go to ftp://ftp.sel.noaa.gov/pub/latest/wwv.txt They give the exact same info as they do on the WWV broadcasts. 73 Tom W7WHY -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://
Hi Dale. If he doesn't acknowledge the correction, just wait a few minutes and work him again. If he gripes about it being a dupe, explain how to remedy the situation. Works for me! 73 Tom W7WHY -- C

Hi Bill What is the reason for eliminating country to country contacts? Are you afraid it would turn into a domestic SS type contest? Just curious. I always thought the idea of a contest it to work a
How about if people don't want 0 pointers in their log, keep another computer handy, log the 0 pointers in it and send it in as a check log. No one loses a multiplier, and no 0 pointers in the log. E

In 1994 I along with NO7F and KG7DK did a multi-multi at my station. We were lucky enough to win the 7th call area, but as of yet I still have not received a certificate. I have written to everyone I
