Yes, I meant band plan. For example, a W7 crosses over to VE7 and signs VE7/W7xxx but cannot operate below 14.150, 21.200, etc like a licensed VE7 can. Seems I was told that when I drove from KL7 to
I suggest Las Vegas. They know how to do conventions here. Easier to fly in and out of compared to Dayton. And you can spend an extra day or two and see the sights and do the casinos. Maybe also a be

I got pinged once for a busted call when I worked a friend during a contest who was not in the contest. He heard me in the contest, answered my CQ, we chatted for a moment, I logged him and he gave m

Some of us ARE under the Dept. of Homeland Security. My ham station is also a Coast Guard Auxiliary Radio Station. Still waiting for any grants to better the station, however. -- ____________________
Steve, If you are big on contesting why not get a 5 call to match your QTH. That's the way it used to be, you move, you get a new call. Too bad it's not the rules anymore. I hate it when a rare DX in

Along the same lines, why not show the ARRL Section as part of the entry for ARRL Contests and Zone number for CQWWDX. Gives you a better idea of how you stacked up against others in your same sectio

I wonder if someone who correctly copied J6DX's power could pass it on to me. What I heard was 5NNCC but don't know what the CC means. Not just my ears, another op in CA told me via email that's what
Jukka OH6LI, Sorry if my question offended you. I did not present as a means of cheating. With a VERY low score I am in no contention for any kind of reward. I entered mainly to increase my DX count

Maybe that's why I got several STATE? returns. I was S&P'ing stations calling CQ, TEST, etc, and would answer with K7ACZ 599 NV. Think I only got one QRZ? or CALL?. Got several STATE? Did they think
