Amen! Perhaps contest sponsors should deduct points for busted qsos based on the signal report passed out. If the guy was really Readability 5, and you blew it, you must be pretty dumb, so deduct 5 q

Personally, if I believe my logger program has made a mistake, I believe I should be allowed to correct that mistake before submitting my log. I agree. How many of us, back in the days of paper logs,
Actually it is relevant.. Here in the central zone ( W9 ), it always began 3 PM local ( 2100Z), and ended 9 PM local ( 0300Z). Now, 2100Z is 4 PM local. Time change is 2 AM Sunday morning, local, so,
No, Mal, there is a difference. Normal everyday life is in normal time, not GMT. I work until noon local Saturday, or, 1800z. That gives me 3 hours before SS at 2100z. This year, noon is 1700z. So. n
The SS rules do not define the contest in terms of local time. It is defined in universal time. The contest starts and ends at the appointed universal time. Local time is irrelevent, except if YOU de
What a fabulous gift to contesters everywhere! I agree! It is so cool to hear me, and a 30' G5RV blast thru on 40! Thanks Jim!!! 73-Chuck KI9A ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ________________
I'm sitting here, at 2006Z, and hearing MANY CQSS & many stations being worked. Looks like several guys have forgotten about the DST deal, and were just looking at their regular clocks!! I had a feel
I personally HATE cut numbers. I can copy at 30wpm while talking on the phone, but cuts kill me. If everyone used them, fine. But, if you send them to me, be prepared to repeat. Well, other than 5NN
Does anyone have a schematic of the external DVK unit for the pro's? I heard it was in the manual, but, I'll be danged if I can find it. Need to whip one up for SSB SS. Thanks!! 73-Chuck KI9A ** See

This is why we need to end the assisted category, and open all classes up the using packet. If SO2R is ok for a single op, why not packet? In a message dated 12/11/2007 6:25:40 A.M. Central Standard
Um, OK. I understand that. Really, I do. No need to send replies to the reflector, AND to my personal address... The point I am making, is, I'm not bashing SO2R, I TOTALLY respect the skills required
Doesn't make much sense, what you just wrote. 1) do you use computers to log? 2) how do you send cw? Is it via the computer F keys while contesting, or, do you send the SS exchange 1,000 by hand? If
In light of today's Mitchell report on steroid cheating, I propose we test the top 5 scoring single ops for "stay up 48 hours, and still do so dang well" style steroids. After all, these guys who hav
If you require either the top 10, top 5, or, heck, everyone to record a contest, you won't eliminate any cheating..you might, however, invent more cheating by listening to the recording, and double c
Really? It's on me, during a 150 hour to EU, on a noisy band, to try and figure out what the hell TTE means? I don't think so. Or, how about this one-- ETE. I logged it as sent. If I get dinged, that
