FYI this has been solved, thanks to several people who observed START-OF-LOG: must come before the first line in the file - not before the first QSO:. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN
One of our TCGers was similarly "dinged". (me? Nope, I stealthily arranged to be out of town during CW SS.....) It looks like in the extreme case, an operator could possibly be credited with as much
It looks like the entire site is a Shockwave presentation - I see no text at all except for the ". ::::: WRTC 2006 ::::::." title. I guess if you don't have Shockwave there's nothing in this page to
I don't know that distance-based scoring really would even things out. I don't know that it would be that much different from a geographically-based "handicapping" system that gives additional points
(to get completely off the topic<grin>:) In 1949, a certain event happened in VO. As I understand it, approval was by no means universal and the outcome could well have been different. If it had turn
There is no such thing as standard Cabrillo for contests not specifically supported by the format. I just reviewed a quick sample of the logs received for the 2004 Tennessee QSO Party. A plurality of

DO NOT try to run more than one of these in the same room! The Logitechs, at least, auto-negotiate a channel when powered on. If you've got more than one in the same room, they're likely to negotiate
Is the repeater input on 146.46 or 146.49? Both of these frequencies are listed in the 2000 ARRL Repeater Directory for Pittsburgh. If it's somewhere else, I'd concur that you had no reasonable expec
(I find it interesting nobody's mentioned Ward's excellent article about log checking - which was far easier to find than the op-ed<grin>!) On one hand... how many reserved segments can we handle bef
I'm surprised I don't hear this kind of comment more often. The chair I bought for my shack a few years ago is *by far* the best non-electronic investment I've ever made in the station; it's probably
I'll bet K4MA caused a few Sprinters to swear at their computers tonight! -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com (TRLog won't accept an underscore either..) -- The
As a matter of fact, no; from http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2002/octqtr/47cfr97.119.htm : "Sec. 97.119 Station identification. (a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand stat
Yeah, I can tell you about both of those<grin>! -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com -- The world's top contesters battle it out in Finland! THE OFFICIAL FILM of
That said, some of the bigger radios share some of the same problems<grin>! K4WX recently bought an Orion, and sold me one of his MPs. (**yes, it has the key click mod**) I diddled with the Orion whi
I took a couple of notes on this one... Sunday morning, heard US7IGF running on 21448.5. (he didn't work anyone while I was listening) Thought that was too close to the edge to call - then I noted so
I've been in private email with Pete about this. FCC regulation 73.318 is relevant to this situation. It requires new FM stations to satisfy any "blanketing" (overload) complaints received within the
Last time I tried running DX on 40SSB (admittedly a LONG time ago!) I explicitly stated I was listening on both a frequency below 7100 *and* my transmit frequency. A handful of VKs and a few folks in
On the other hand, might the 48-hour period be driving away younger contesters who have family obligations that retired folks may not face? == On an only very vaguely related subject... Anyone rememb
