Yep - as one of those QRPers this year in SS CW that not only happened to me a couple of times, but I would expect it. And I think most QRP stations would understand. If the other station can't get m
It's never going to be "fair", but it's always going to be fun - at least for me. If it was made to be fair - "level the playing field" even I might be able to win something, get a plaque or a certif

It looks like it would be a good laptop. You would have to get the external DVD/CD-ROM to load XP. The major limitation might be the 800X480 resolution which would keep you from using a lot of window
But .... On the other hand ..... I'm Single Op, NOT Assisted. I usually start at the bottom of the band and tune up. I hear a station and press F4 to send my call and it puts the call in the band map
I've never understood the fascination with trying to run great logging programs like CT DOS, NA or TRLog under a Windows shell or Command Prompt. It might kinda work, but it's asking for problems. If
When the contest starts get on the air. Using what you got, make as many QSOs as you can. When you fall asleep, stop making QSOs. When you wake up, start making QSOs. When the contest is over, report

Not true ..... You could send 579, or anything you want to send, with every QSO. Problem with that is (and I've seen it happen when an op gets a non-599) the operator will beat the heck out of the sp
