Greetings, I agree completely, Chuck. I also am a "tangible" QSL card collector and have wondered the same thing. I do know some contesters that either don't QSL or do not want to, and LoTW is the pe
Agreed, Brett, The Good Doctor is missed here as well. Levity is needed to leaven dense matter. And to keep you from stepping in it :-) 73, Gerry K8GT VR2BrettGraham wrote: W9XR advised: The Green Ho

Agreed, Chuck it does work very well. I had one station say, "You made it sound easy". 73, Gerry K8GT Chuck wrote: What I found, after almost 1500 Q's at N3OC where I opped SSB SS was that the most e
Yes, so one of the following would be correct: W2/NP3D, K2/NP3D, N2/NP3D, and so on. 73, Gerry K8GT SOC #299 Chuck Dietz wrote: Don't the rules require your call to indicate your proper DXCC country?
Tom, et al, Open up the power supply in that beast and see if the power line filter components are in place. I bought a case and power supply in 1996 from a local computer packager to house a used 48

Upon checking, it is for ARRL DX contests, guess not CQ WW. There is something in the CQ WPX rules about prefixes, but don't have the rules handy. 73, Gerry K8GT Mark Bailey wrote: Hi: I just checked
While I understand and sympathize with him about his problem, it doesn't do me any good for DXCC. I'm relatively new on the band and last year was my first full year with a decent antenna and EA3JE (
Agreed John, I also have Tango received as Echo about 30% of the time in a major contest and I use Tokyo also. Additionally, Guatemala is useful when Golf gets received as Alpha and since some langua
I respect Ed and Kirk's contesting skills and acumen highly. I also think they are really nice guys, too! But I strongly disagree with their analogies and conclusions. In a marathon, or race of any k
OK2PAY has been my favorite since the early '90s. It's particularly appropriate since he is a Czech after all. :-) OK2PWR is appropriate for a BIG TX and don't forget OH2BAD. ST0RM is on or just has

John, and all, I'm pretty sure that the ITU recommendations that were revised some years ago were accepted by the FCC. That is, that portable designators could be used before or after a callsign, (or
Agreed. I don't log or fill out QSL cards with /QRP. Even if I could, I have no proof that it actually was such. I can only certify what I do, and I don't send /QRP when I operate it. I don't ask for
I also use CW-reverse on my TS850 and tune from high end of the band down. That way, I don't keep following the same station all the way up the band, getting beat out for every new mult. But it is a
