Interesting, this is a very interesting question. Back in the older days, before log checking software was checking all of our scores, many stations had the mentality of: if you think its right, log
On another note, I worked VP8PJ in the middle of the night on 20 meters, N1MM said he was in Zone 13, he obviously was NOT in the contest. I asked him what zone he was in and he asked me to QRX a min

Does anyone know how to change the forwarding address for (mycall)@contesting.com? I changed ISP's and no longer have the account that it is attached to, so any mail sent to me, ends up bouncing. It
The big winds of yesterday (apparently 75 mph gusts) took down a 75 foot pine tree at the top of the hill by my tower. From what I am told, the tree is leaning on my shed and entangled in the main el
I am there now, and when the sleet/rain stops, I will go out and access the damage. Looks like I lost the 75 meter sloper; a set of guy wires and the phone line at this point. Much LESS damage that I

I know there is a whole bunch of interest, and a lot of opinions on remote operation of an amateur radio station. What I am proposing, is starting of a separate reflector, just for this subject. I ha
I guess if you want to register it at $75.00 and find out it is slower than your brain, go for it. I downloaded it, looked at it, commented that it was neat, un-installed it. Any CW decoder is slower
I have set up a new reflector for those of us that are interested in remote stations, operating, contesting, etc. It is called remoteoperating. It is my hope that those currently using remote station
Skimmer did 31, what this means is that anyone who scored lower than skimmer is authorized to use it until they improve their skills and can at least equal skimmers performance. Anyone that exceeded
Does anyone know if there is a way to get a copy? I would love to run this at a local RDXA meeting. Paul K2DB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contes
