Mike, My son is not a ham, but some of the things you described were mentioned by him the few times I tried to guide him towards joining the hobby. He is 19, and the competition for his attention now

Hi Ed, I have been blessed with a great kid. He knows when to hold his nose, and do what must be done when necessary, but he won't get into unnecessary silliness. The XYL and myself will take credit

My impression is that they focus a lot on club based contesting, which is the way to go, in my opinion. Club, friends, group activities, etc. 73 de Vince, VA3VF ______________________________________

Hi Randy, list, similar to the no-call list for phones. Not that I'm aware. The closest you could try is to say so on your QRZ.COM profile. I would think that the majority of 'serious' QSLers check Q

I have no 'proof' of this, so this is all anecdotal, for entertainment purposes only. I was told that the originating postal service keeps all the postage for itself. A package from the west coast of

I suspect I'll open a can of worms, but here it goes. Go for LOTW acceptance, but keep eQSL alongside it. I spent more money on WPX credits using LOTW than I care to admit. Unfortunatelly they were n
