"A slow QSO is better than no QSO." ("The Art of War", Sun Tzu, ca. 544-496 BCE) Wow, I didn't know that had amateur radio and QSOs back in the 500s BC, guess I learned my new fact for the day! 73 Jo
Yes, I was aiming my comments at contest novices, who would probably like to see their call in the results, but also might not be up to speed on log submissions and such. I ended up submitting my log
Remember what we learned from previous Sweepstakes and check discussions on this list. The check is just some 2 digit number you make up, so you can't read much into your data. Some numbers are easie
I remember KH3 seemed to be the easiest one to work of those. I have quite a few /KH3 QSLs from the 80s and 90s. One of my more prize QSLs is from KH7AA, the first KH7 call issued for Kure. That was

Maybe they will bring back the Y## blocks for callsigns, in a blast from the past, as those prefixes were used by the GDR (East Germany). 73 John AF5CC _______________________________________________

I have been playing around a little in the SSB Sweepstakes this weekend, and was again reminded of how CW contesting is much easier when you have a limited station. I am in the market for another rad
That is good to know about the rig equalization. Sounds like I would want a radio with that. I see that some of the newer Yaesus have 3 band parametric equalization, which I would guess is a plus. An
Why did the ARRL choose to allow PSK31, ASCII, AMTOR and Packet in the RTTY Roundup, but not allow other digital modes like MFSK16 and Hellschreiber? I know that CQ magazine only allows RTTY in their
That is kind of what I was thinking also. The last solar minimum was in 2007, which is 11 years ago, so we should be at the next minimum right now, and many days have occurred recently with 0 sunspot
