I've been using WLOGCONV by KA5WSS. It's at http://www.qsl.net/ka5wss Download the Windows version. The DOS version seems to have some bugs in it. 73, Zack W9SZ -- The world's top contesters battle i
My understanding is that if it's in the summer, all you need for a sauna is to find a little shed somewhere or a room without air conditioning. That means you will just need the air conditioning. :-)
I don't see anything wrong with his announcement. He didn't specifically go soliciting for QSO's, he just announced the contest and the website for more info. I do find this a hilarious statement! Ma
You got HOW MUCH out of 4 6AG7's? I remember that those tubes were rated at a maximum plate voltage of 300 or 350 volts. I got a couple watts out of one with 250 volts on the plate and they ran REALL
I also see no need for leading zero's. I never sent them. As far as people using them, maybe it's a matter of experience. If enough people copy enough people not using them, it will catch on. Maybe O
I never gave the number sent much thought. It was just a number to me. I did happen to think a couple times that the station I worked might be a school club when it sent something like "13". The only
I had a lot of problems making QSO's this weekend. I had to give fills on almost every QSO. I was running a barefoot TS-850. The stations I was calling were all loud and many were "A". I figured it w
In this modern age of computer/internet logging/submission, I sent my SS log in 5 minutes after the contest ended. They get what I logged during the contest. Zack W9SZ -- The world's top contesters b
He was an OO notorious for sitting and listening to people work near band edges of contests, then sending OO slips out to all of them. I think I have one around somewhere. Probably in my box with bou
Welcome to ham radio and contesting, Steve! You can participate in the VHF contests as a Tech. Depending on where you are, they can be very slow-paced, but still a lot of fun. My favorite entry categ

There used to be a contest called the Frostbite Falls Beach Party ... 73, Zack W9SZ -- The world's top contesters battle it out in Finland! THE OFFICIAL FILM of WRTC 2002 now on professional DVD and
FWIW, Romeo (dare I mention his name?) used to sign AH0M/W2. Left absolutely no questions about where he claimed to be located. :-) 73, Zack W9SZ -- The world's top contesters battle it out in Finlan
Yeah, darn it, I called CQ on 2808.5 for hours the other night and no one answered me! :-} 73, Zack W9SZ -- The world's top contesters battle it out in Finland! THE OFFICIAL FILM of WRTC 2002 now on

Yeah ... some of us "gentle readers" remember him! :-) Did anyone ever find out who he really was? 73, Zack W9SZ -- The world's top contesters battle it out in Finland! THE OFFICIAL FILM of WRTC 2002
Sony headphones are generally well-built and sturdy, even if they don't look like it. I worked in a Sony authorized electronics repair shop once and got a lot of experience with them. The MDR-CD seri
Assuming he was operating from home, you can get the grid square from http://www.buck.com. Follow the links to callsign lookup. If he wasn't operating from home, you have a problem! 73, Zack W9SZ --
I wasn't in the contest and didn't realize the grid square was the exchange. Missing the grid square, I guess the proper thing to do is scratch the QSO. 73 & Happy New Year, Zack W9SZ -- The world's
I guess then that you'd just have to scratch the QSO if the other person doesn't know his grid square. Is it permissible during the contest to ask him what city he's in (hopefully he's in a city) and
