We have several plum openings for sponsors for plaques, including some of the major top honors. According to the Contest Branch, we don't have sponsors for the following: W/VE Single Op Unlimited Low
Sorry, I tried googling for these answers and didn't have much luck... 1. How much do I have to change my run frequency so that the skimmers will spot me again? (If this varies from skimmer to skimme
I am writing up the RTTY Roundup article, and in looking at the results data there is a fairly high number of checklogs. I know some of the more typical reasons why one would submit as checklog - you

I take a picture of the summary window after every contest, and use that to fill in 3830 if I don't just do it right there. I figure if I have a picture of it at least it shows I Was There if everyth
Speaking of rate killers... I'm noticing a disturbing trend from some hams. I'm seeing this more and more in response to my CQ: W7RN 599 03 03 CA CA 599 03 03 CA CA DE W6h?;WF;OASDJ/HFOWE8UHFOSVN The
If I understand correctly what I have learned from Ed W0YK and other contest directors, your log will get flagged as "unstable", someone will look to see why, make any necessary adjustments, and ever
"The first minute you may log a contact is 1200, and the last minute you may log a contact is 1159." That seems completely unambiguous. 73 jeff wk6i -- Jeff Stai ~ wk6i.jeff@gmail.com Twisted Oak Win
