The Pa QSO Party web page has finally been updated for the 2003 contest, many thanks to webmaster Mike KB3EIA for all of his hard work. It can be found at http://www.nittany-arc.org/paqso.html No maj
If Rohn as we know it is liquidated, who do you think is most likely to pick up the assets for the amateur market? Can you say "MFJ?" (I knew you could!) 73, ron wn3vaw 46th Annual Pennsylvania QSO P
Mein gott in himmel... Will this never end? Must the ARRL ALWAYS be painted as the conspiring money grubbing villian no matter WHAT they do? Are the eQSL zealots so afraid of LotW that they can't wai
Bob, Now I'm confused. You mean it's perfectly OK for you to bash the ARRL & Logbook of the Word in a public forum, but it's NOT OK for Dick to explain or defend himself or any part of the program? O
"Exactly! Don't expect to get WAZ, 5BWAZ, WPX, or USA-CA using LOTW." Oh? Why not? Has CQ Communications said that they won't support LotW? That's certainly news to me... C'mon guys. The League has s
Anyone know off hand what electronic format(s) the Ca QSO Party is accepting for log entries? I have to hand-type the log, so I might as well do it in the best method possible. I think I'm going to s
Who would know? Probably no one, unless someone owned up to who the operator was. However, should the word come out, then the owner of the call might have to answer a few questions. Seems to me that
Doug asks, "Does the trustee have to be present every time the club call is used?" No, of course not, in many cases (ie a Field Day operation) that may not be physically possible. However, the truste
Barry, Does not one detect a rather dry touch of humor there? <g> Aside from that, to be serious for a moment, I have sometimes in the past been muchly annoyed when a M/M or M/2 station has asked me
23? That's nothing! When I was still associated with my college club (both as a student and then as an alumni working in town) we always through people for a loop with a check of "12" -- since 1912 w
Jim, Good point about Rule 4.4. I think this is a case of the rules being written with Single Op in mind, not a multi-op situation. And this is why I was referring to the sometimes questionable choic
The recently resurfaced controversy over uploading logs is interesting, to say the least. After mulling over a lot of the comments, I've come to these conclusions: (1) Those who wish to cheat will fi
Ah yes, Popkin grams. Anyone (in the US, of course) who strays within 5 kHz of a band edge during a contest is in danger of receiving one of the more unusual OO notices in existance. I wonder sometim
Rusty, A year ago, you would have been fine with the latest/last version of CT 6, which was available free for the download (but basically no longer supported) on your 286. However, several months ag
Who needs to shout anymore? What you need is someone with a naturally loud voice. Much less stress on the vocal cords, and it doesn't hurt that he can make QSO's with the locals without need of a rad
Zack, Wasn't that the one sponsored by Wassamatta U? And did they ever figure out if Moosylvania counts as a multiplier? 73, ron wn3vaw "What's the point in being crazy if you can't have a little fun
Zack, You know, until I just read your post, I didn't realize that Romeo had and still has a US callsign! Only now he'd be signing W4/AH0M. For some reason, this all reminds me of the rants that a ce
Herb, I don't think anyone is seriously or otherwise suggesting that your or any of the other pre-1978 KV4 calls (or those recovered as Vanity calls in recent years) sign KP2/, NP2/, or WP2/. Likewis
