My college club station (K3CR up at Penn State) was first on the air in 1909, and got one of the first Department of Commerce licenses (8XE) in 1912. Now just try and convince the kids up there that

Does anyone know if there is any way to have my meager logged flagged as a "check log" when submitted for the CW WPX? Due to lack of time that weekend, I made an appalling low number of contacts (no,
I agree with Randy & several others that the shortening the deadline, at this time, does not appear to make sense. Now, I'm all for getting contest results back in hand faster, but I think a combinat
My club sponsors a local 2M FM contest every January. We're starting to work on the updated rules for the 2003 event. I'd like to solicit some of the more experienced ops here on the list for suggest
Since I neglected to do this earlier, just wanted (while I was thinking of it) to thank everyone who answered me a few weeks back on possibilities for Field Day software. The WASH club ended up using

I was just informed of the recent response to my earlier post. Good thing I went on-line to see it (I normally only get the digest), although the nature of that reply is sad. Since a personal, ah, re

Dennis, My understanding (and I could be wrong) from people I've talked to both at the League and/or involved in Logbook of the World is that contest logs will not automatically be sent over to the L
Sylvan, At the moment, the web results are available "early" to League members and are not available to the public until approx. 30 days after being published in QST. Obviously this is an attempt to
The long lead times go back to the early days of most contests when all of the logs were submitted on (horrors!) paper, including dupe sheets, and hand-written to boot. The long time lags were once r
Sorry Gary, but you and I will disagree with this one for now. Considering the outcry last year when (under the dubious excuse of safety of the mail) CQ Magazine forced all of us to enter only by ele
