Highlights: - Evening Russians on 20. Some of them are amazingly weak, but they're all good at the code and *persistent*. They never give up. And they sure make things interesting. - The "bottomless
<G>! Unfortunately... At one point Sunday afternoon on 20, a PY with a poor fist called me. I had to ask for several repeats before I was sure I had his call right. Apparently, someone heard this exc
The last time I operated assisted, the first time or two I made a typo I stopped concentrating on operating the contest and made sure I promptly fixed the error. Then I took an offtime and thought ab
How do you work the spotted station if you can't hear him under the continuous callers? (I suppose by having a big enough stack that your F-S ratio is good enough to knock down the domestic lids...)
It's recently been discovered that TRLog now runs reasonably well on Linux' DOS emulation. (either dosemu has been tweaked to better-handle real-time applications, or the improvement in hardware spee

They were pretty lousy both days here but IMHO they were better Sunday. We had a pretty impressive short-skip opening to the East Coast most of Sunday morning, sure racked up the QSOs. European condi

I use multimedia headsets designed for connection to a computer. (with all the recent chatter about Internet telephony these might become more popular?) Right now I've got two pair of Labtec LVA-8322
FWIW my computer log contains every DX QSO that got QSLd, going back to KZ5FBN on 1973-11-22. Those QSOs are in my LOTW logs. The oldest QSO that's been confirmed on LOTW was with KL7NO on 1979-12-11

If it's perfectly legal to operate two transmitters at the same time, why is it called "multi-single"? I guess I would think in the interest of clearing up double-talk, it would be a good idea to eit
Hard to say. I don't think the technology infrastructure is ready yet. Mainly, because broadband Internet access is not available everywhere. Even dial-up access is not universally available unless y
A simple step would be to not report the exact frequency, just the band. My test project showed exact frequency simply because that's what's in the field in N1MM. If I were working with TRLog it woul
When we started the Tennessee QSO Party, I was surprised how little information there was out there on the running and adjuication of a QSO Party. To be perfectly honest I have no idea how any other
Depending on your level of computer experience it may not be a trivial exercise<grin>. I used the N1MM program for this contest. N1MM Logger logs QSOs in a table of an Microsoft Access2000 database.
