Trent, I apparently didn't do a good job of explaining. 1. If you are saying that assisted rarely beats unassisted, I completely agree. So what? Who cares? What does it matter? Are you saying the ass
One more thing... Short term -many people unhappy. Long term - Vast majority unhappy when other aspects of assisted (code readers) in combination with this would culminate in total automation of CW C
Trent, Please clarify so everyone will understand your thinking. Do you believe there is an advantage in having a list of everyone on the band and identification as to whether each callsign is a new
Trent, There is no myth. Anyone who thinks there is no advantage in having a list of everyone who is calling CQ on CW and being able to sort the list according to which contacts will provide new mult

Pete. I had some significant problems with my YCCC box the first night of the contest. It would send with pauses and interruptions in the sending. I was thinking I would not even finish the contest.
I would never considering using anything other than E for 5 (and only as a part of 599), T for zero, and N for 9 (and again probably only as a part of 599. A for 1 and U for 2 are OK to receive but d

Perhaps I was in the right place at the right time! SOLP in 2017 ARRL CW DX Contest - Thank you to The CW Operator's Club for a plaque received for World Overall Winner, to the Frankfurt Radio Club f
If I remember correctly your points are calculated by your score's percentage of the winning score times the total points for that contest. If so, then if someone remotes in and has a score 10 times
It is with regret that I report that Terry Gerdes, AB5K, became a silent key yesterday, apparently a heart attack, He had just moved to Belize and had just gotten married this weekend. I received a t
I think what you are missing, which I initially missed, is that a category is Single Operator, High Power, unassisted. Another Category is Single Operator, High Power Assisted. Within each category i

Trent, Just wanted to make sure you understand that a station in zone 33 could work 25,000 Europeans on 160 in a contest and that would make absolutely no difference in a VK or ZL's chance to qualif
