I have given this some thought. On RTTY, if you can avoid [SHIFT] or [UNSHIFT], It is probably worth a few Qs over the life of a contest. 5NN on RTTY is a bad idea... you're actually transmitting [up
I assumed that one would have already done all those things - If someone was thinking about saving time in transmission, that they would try cut numbers. The only argument you might make for repeatin
The rule I use is ALWAYS log what they send. In cases where the software is GUESSING based on the prefix, that is very dangerous, particularly in the US, since there is no restriction as to what numb
I don't know firsthand what the log-checkers do, but I think it is safe to assume that if some number of people submit logs with station X exchanging something other than what he/she should have sent
At KL7RA we have been using Win-test for quite a few years. It is amazingly stable, and is designed for a networked multi-x environment (though it works great for SO1R and SO2R). It also works well o
Hello all. Quick question: How does one get their contest club recognized so that it can participate in the various club competitions? North Pole Contest Group would like to do that. Apparently there
I always hear CW coming from "things" after a contest. We would joke after the contest why the zone 37 station we were hearing from the refrigerator didn't call us during the contest. Wigi, KL0R --Or

I wasnt suggesting that they could only that it isnt listed anywhere. Maybe thats the point theyre making by not listing it. I'd like to sell a bridge to anyone who believes they can win a Team Lead
For a number of reasons, none of which have anything to do with contesting, I was cajoled/convinced/coerced into getting a DMR radio. Wanting to make the best of a bad situation, I decided I would go
Am I correct in my reading of the AADX rules that there is no distinction made between assisted and non-assisted? In other words, unassisted is not an entry category? 73, Wigi, KL0R _________________
I seem to remember that there is a quirk in how the CQ zones are drawn, and that there's some very small part of China that is in Zone 22, or some very small part of India that is in Zone 23. Am I co
I have been stewing on this idea since Dayton. and I wanted to toss it out there, cause some trouble, etc. What if. The organizers of WRTC2026 chose their twelve qualifying contests. but then allowed
I've already done that. I emailed back and forth, and then visited with them in Dayton... they told me... sorry... [snip] Wigi, before giving up and thinking about WRTC 2026, it's your right to ask f
