The ARRL DX Contest results are still available to the rest of the world the same as it has been for 50 years or more. When the QST magazine is published, the results are available to anyone who read
I think the ARRL does try to encourage DX participation in the DX Contest. If you look at the rules at http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2002/intldx.html you will see that the ARRL offers a certific
The same thing happened to me. I think a few individuals must have reserved large blocks of rooms for their clubs or friends. As a result Susan and I will not attend the Dayton for the first time in
I have recently had some good experiences with the Ameritron customer support group. A couple of months ago I bought a second Ameritron AL1500 amplifier. After installing the tube and power transform
Phone was February 6th and 7th and March 5th and 6th. CW was February 20th and 21st and March 19th and 20th. Yes, 1960 was a leap year. Anybody interested in who I worked? 73, Richard At 18:33 1/31/2

WB2Q also did this in the ARRL DX CW around 1990 (plus or minus) and set a scoring record for both assisted and single-op that held up through the sunspot minimum. Using packet (assisted) doesn't mea
I heard something interesting this weekend while I was tuning around on 160M during the CQ 160M SSB Contest. I think what I heard is worthy of a little discussion here as too whether it is against th
I worked a station that gave me a power of 100 watts on 15 meters a couple hours after a 10M QSO where he gave me "59KiloWatt". So I asked him about it and he said he was having trouble with his amp
I have been lucky enough to win the USA 10 meter plaque for the past two years for the WPX CW Contest. So I felt I needed to be on the air again to defend my streak and to see if I could three-peat.
This example means nothing unless it is supported by checking the accuracy of the received data from the logs of those you were working. I can copy you sending at 100 WPM if I already have your call
This can be a real can of worms. When I had a station in New York it was during many of the years while the CQWW still required my station (which was outside of my original callsign district) to sign
Be careful with these age surveys. My wife (K5DU, ex. KU2Q) used to give her age in hexadecimal instead of base ten. But you may be safe since I don't believe she was on this year. 73, Richard k5na@t

I agree with Bill's comments 100%. The activity in this contest and/or available QSOs goes down every year as more and more people switch to QRP so they can be competitive and win a plaque. It is no
I completely agree with this. But the challenge of working QRP isn't the issue here. 1. The TBDC scoring is weighted too heavily in favor of a QRP entry. 2. There are a lot of plaques available for a
This is already being done Jim. The preface is "5NN". I fail to see why "please copy" is such a big deal. Maybe it is summertime and you key-strokers need something to type about. 73, Richard k5na@te
