The "emergency communications" angle, eh? Hadn't thought of that because I assumed it was boat owners too cheap to use a commercial service (as per 97.113(a)(5)). Hmm. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws p

Given your rate of pay, there needs to be some balance between the amount of work you need to do, not to mention the amount of flak you have to take, and the question of fairness. I think your plan s
I'd be against that. Makrothen already uses grids and ... QSO Party uses names? Exchanging time is hard and, apparently, above the abilities of some. Which makes it a good exchange. *I* am able to ha
No, no. Put them all in all contests! I *like* the November Sweepstakes exchange. I just don't want to see time taken out because "it's too hard". I wouldn't want the WAE folks to take out QTCs, eith
Also callsigns. Those should go, too, because a lot of times people copy them wrong. Did you know that some of the foreign ones you letters and numbers in different orders! Too hard! RST is, fortunat
Thank you, Ed. Seconded! ^^^^ Worth repeating. ^^^^ If someone thinks a contest is too hard or unfair, then they should -- and this is radical, I know -- choose not to participate. I don't know other

We'll obviously never agree but when I see the same thing over and over, like a name, I get bored. Time, like a serial number, is ever-changing. And times even less boring because it changes regardle
Your message says "2014" in two places and the link takes you to the 2014 results. Why are people whining about 2015? -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! ______________________
I'm not sure if the fiddling with the band edges is intended as appeasement or not. Moving the phone/CW-Data line in the 80-m band was a mistake and I see they are trying to get that reversed. The up

Fewer and fewer flowery exchanges noted over the weekend. Worst thing, I think, is the lack of anything after the call when calling CQ. Doesn't much matter if it's CQ, RU, TEST, whatever (tho' shorte
Hooey. I'd rather sponsors try to find a niche with their exchange. My favorite one is the ARRL November Sweepstakes exchange but that doesn't mean I think all contests should use it. As for software

Because, as we all know, NO ONE governs the FCC! :-D It could be worded better: ``U.S. stations must use correct call or suffix for area of operation as these are used as a multiplier.'' Of course yo
If I configure my program to transmit 589 instead of 599 and the other op's program logs that I sent 599, will the robot kick that out as a mismatch? I think inclusion of RST is silly and would rathe
