Just so there is no confusion, I did not use packet. I did not make any posts nor did I look at any posts. Mal omitted all calls except mine. It evidently was a blind post TO me, certainly NOT BY ME.
I seem to recall a thread about receiving Poppinsgrams from Dave Poppins of the FCC in NYC. I searched the archives for Poppin and Poppins and came up empty. Can someone point me in the right directi

The spot database search at DX Summit doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone know of any other internet accessible spot database search. I want to see when I was spotted in CQWW CW. 73, Ken, K6LA /
How many times have you called or read a 3830 posting in which the story is related about calling "CQ, looking especially for North Dakota" only to have a North Dakota (or whoever you are looking for
Tree, et. al., Technological innovation is inevitable. It won't be too long before your bandscope shows the callsigns of every station on the band. Will that make you "unassisted?" Clearly, this ("ra
Hi Tree, et. al., Yes, running illegal power or claiming low power when you are running high power fits into this category in that it is virtually impossible to get caught, except if you are running
If you are explicitly asking for info on a station, that is different than a directional CQ. 73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@c
Given the recent discussion regarding what constitutes assistance, I propose those of us on the reflector who have made it into the Top Ten box, or who strive to do so, enter into a gentlemen's agree
Hi Hans, I agree that directional CQs are a legitimate tool. However, given the recent discussion and the pervasive use of packet, it appears to be, by many, considered to be equivalent to using pack
Thanks for your response, Tree. I have felt like making a post to the effect "Gentlemen's Agreement = Lead Balloon." Other than Tree's response, I received one direct response supporting the Gentleme
I have no objection to the suggestion that the Gentlemen's Agreement (GA) include a shorter time than specified by the sponsor's rules to submit logs. However, it needs to be reasonable. 15 minutes i

Hi Mark, Well, since you asked... Apart from Multi-ops, the only time I was SOA was in ARRL DX CW at least 5 years ago. I think it hurt my score because I didn't know how to use it properly to maximi
The only LCRs posted for 2006 are for VHF contests. Tom, KC1J, the new contest manager at ARRL emailed me that LCRs are posted when they are made available from the log checkers. Who are the ARRL DX

Just got my 2006 CQ WPX CW plaque for Canada. This is VERY acceptable in the speed department. Thanks!!! 73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list

Hey, Jim, what have you been smoking? I want some. Wow, conspiracy theory in ham radio contesting. Are you telling us C4M was operated by former KGB agents? I haven't read of any CQWW Committee membe
