No, I believe the CD parties continued on well past the bicentennial. If Doug W3HDH is still on the reflector, he might be able to confirm the dates, but as I recall... After the ARRL forced the Pa Q
It's not just the Doubletree and it's not just Dayton. We spent a few days at the end of June at a Westin in Dallas. They also had an exorbitant daily charge for Internet access, which I knew in adva
The stations in question may be sending their cards in bulk directly to the VE incoming bureau, bypassing the DL bureau. Or, they may also belong to radio societies in other countries, and are sendin
While I'm not familiar with the two stations, a quick look at the prefix cross reference shows that CR6 was the pre-1976 regular prefix for Angola, so it's very possible that a special WPX prefix cal
One can certainly infer that, and that's been the betting line since this process first started. But so far as I know, the DXCC Desk hasn't officially said anything. So until they do, well, it's a gu
Joe, Well, I agree with you that assuming that Bonaire will be a new DXCC entity after 10 October is jumping the gun. But at worst, the entity status for all of the islands in the Leeward & Windward
Joe, I think we can all agree that Curacao and St. Maarten, since they are becoming separate countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, most likely are going to become separate DXCC entities fr
There is more than a little truth to this... a simple "yes" is not a complete answer. WHY are some of these folks not in the logs? (And not just Jim's) ...and my apologies for not getting on the WAE
54th Annual Pa QSO Party runs 1600 Z Saturday through 0500 Z Sunday, picks up 1300Z Sunday through 2200 Z Sunday. Sure seems like everyone is elbowing the oldest state QSO Party out of it's weekend,
Ultimately, regardless of how finely the rules are written, it comes down to this: Do you trust the competitors to follow the rules, or don't you? If you do, then it should not be necessary to write
IMHO: No. As propagation improves, the contest activity will pick up. And that being said, I don't see a practical method of implementing a Multi transmitter category in any single band contest. 73,
Aw, c'mon Zack. "First licensed" means first licensed, period. It's bad enough we have people picking random numbers because they can get away with it. Let's not muddy the waters further. 73 The rule
Not trying to hand your head (or any other body part to you) but I remember those county codes. I never did see the need for unique county codes for the individual state contests. I can see them for
No, that was (prefix redacted) 7 James Bond... The problem with guy using Jack Daniels as the phonetics is every qso was number 7............. _______________________________________________ CQ-Conte
But exactly what does the WWROF do? Or plan to do? News Update from the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation The World Wide Radio Operators Foundation, Inc. (WWROF) would like to share several impor
Maybe the solution is to stop writing strict, highly technical rules that only a lawyer can interpret (and which many armchair lawyers misinterpret) and start writing rules that indicate the intent,
Maybe we need to make clear what exactly a "Single Operator" is, since there's clearly much disagreement on the details. A humble proposal, if I may: -- Proposed General Definition: Single Operator (
Well Joe, as I understood it (and I could well be wrong!) the original concept of what is now considered the 'assisted' class was that the single operator would be getting technical or technological
I sure wish the self-appointed frequency cops would remember that little detail during contest weekends. It's almost sad to here so many people ordered off particular frequencies because they are con
If they're in Central America, why would we add them as multipliers to a North America contest? Or are we worried about Entity Discrimination here? Why stop with Mexico? What about the states of the
