My theory is that it is rooted in a lack of CW skills and experience. If the operator is relying on a skimmer or decoder, they may only recognize the sound of their own call, if anything. So, hearing
I saw this when I was traveling between MT and CO. People were getting In almost every one of my LCRs, there are stations listed who log my state incorrectly as "WI," not "KY" where I currently resid
Correct...my bad, I meant call history files, some of which are available for download. -- Chuck Milam, N9KY N9KY@arrl.net _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C
K5KG correctly pointed out that SCP files do not include QTH info. I meant to say call history files. Thanks for keeping me straight! -- Chuck Milam, N9KY N9KY@arrl.net ______________________________
Agreed. I usually only knock it down 2-4 WPM or so, PGUP/PGDN in N1MM makes it easy to adjust the keyer WPM on the fly. -- Chuck Milam, N9KY N9KY@arrl.net ____________________________________________
If the league would be open to a remote/telecommuting DBA/sysadmin and moving to open-source technologies (Linux, MySQL/PosgreSQL, etc.) I'd be willing to negotiate for half of that or less. I'm sure
I see the results article for the 2013 ARRL 10M Contest has been published in the July 2014 QST (thanks to the digital edition), but I'm not seeing the LCRs or the option to view the 2013 ARRL 10M Co
At what point should I just spin the dial and move on to keep the run When the run station resumes calling CQ. (The "CQ in your face.") Then you know he's given up on you. -- Chuck Milam, N9KY N9KY@a
I kept the online scoreboard open once during a contest, and I realized I was running close behind someone in my entry class--it kept me pushing hard through the last hours of the contest and gave me

I would. I enjoy the articles, and it's always good to have more than one solitary voice speaking for amateur radio. -- Chuck Milam, N9KY N9KY@arrl.net _______________________________________________
The key word here is "RUNNING." Nothing worse than seeing someone with "Spot all S&P QSOs" turned on when they are actually running a frequency (Pro tip: You should be in Run mode then.) Dozens of mu
Same here in western Kentucky. If I don't hear KL7RA or AL9A, then I don't bother looking for AK, band must be closed. -- Chuck Milam, N9KY N9KY@arrl.net _____________________________________________
You must have followed the directions for long-term storage, no fuel in the tank, completely dry carburetor, run some oil through, etc. Those Hondas are notorious for getting gummed-up carburetors if
However, if you're (meaning everyone here, not pointing at Frank!) running, please don't spot every station you work. Take a moment to ensure your logger is actually in run mode while you're running,

Now if we could just get people to stop using S&P mode in N1MM when they're actually running, that would be great. You can always tell it's happening when you see 25 juicy new ones suddenly pile up o
