Yes, same complaint. How much more difficult can it be to just say your call sign after each contact rather than QRZ? -- Alan Zack Amateur Radio Station K7ACZ Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Quality Engineer,
I remember hearing a ZS4 station working everyone except the U.S. on 21.198 or so. Later he did move above 21.200. Maybe he wanted to practice working a pile up before the sharks could attack. What g
I worked a bunch of zones 16, 18, and 19 but only one zone 17, UA9CLB. -- Alan Zack Amateur Radio Station K7ACZ Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Quality Engineer, The Boeing Company, Retired Aviation Chief War
Same type of thing on the Maritime Mobile Net at 14.300. There would be EU DX stations calling CQ 2 kc above or below 14.300. As soon as someone tried to answer them a Maritime Mobile Net freq Cop wo
I don't think PACKET causes people not to ID frequently. It just seems to be some people's nature to say QRZ after a contact rather than give their call. Nothing to do with PACKET. -- Alan Zack Amate

Speaking of PACKET I sure wish people would not post who they DON'T hear! Right now there is a reported operation on KP5 for the next 48 hrs or so. One station has spotted hearing them and now there
I am sure there are many more like out out there, Ed. It always makes me wonder why the log checkers list unique calls logged (calls that may appear in your own log but no others). Sometimes a non co
Bill, I agree with Claudio. Even if a person uses the Buro you still have printing costs plus the cost to send a box of cards to the ARRL to be sent out, plus the time involved. All my Buro cards are
I can tell you that sitting in the seat of a C-130 at the radio op/navigators position for hours and hours, having the Loadmaster bring you a box lunch and eating while operating and only getting up
Yes, poor sentence structure on my part. I didn't notice the implication until I already hit send. Sometimes a spell checker is just not enough. -- Alan Zack Amateur Radio Station K7ACZ Official USCG
Yes, the galley is just above the crew entrance door and easily assessable with the galley floor panel down. And the ICS cord was long enough to reach. But we only had coffee, a small oven, and a hot
Yes, but what about DX stations and DXpeditions using common DX split freqs such as 14.195/14.200, 21.295/21.300, 28.395/28.400 and then some local guy wants to call CQ just a Khz or so below the DX
Maybe he needs a QSL from MI real bad. His station doesn't suggest a big gun trying to get a top score. Seems one USA contact wouldn't make or break his final score. I sometimes get something like th
Yes, it must be confusing to the DX when a W6 gives FL for a state or what appears to be the wrong zone in the CQWWDX. I'd like to see the US go back to the old system. It burns me when a rare DX in
Jim, You did a great job in getting the CTY file up to date. I was concerned that TO9A (FM not F) and DT8A (VP8/h not HL) wouldn't log correctly but you had them covered. You must have ESP. 73 -- Ala
I realize there is a logging program shown on the web site that could be downloaded for the 7QP. I normally use CTWin for my contest logger. Anyone know if and how CT could be used? On the web site t
OK, the deadline for log submissions is past. Why not NOW show the sections for the stations listed so we can compare our score with others in our section? Last time I asked the reply was something t

I would like to run a situation past the group: Ham A enters the WPX SSB. He has a very common prefix. Ham B is a former no code Tech who has a new 5 WPM Extra license. As many of these new 5 WPM Ext
