No more pathetic than anywhere/anything else. Do you vote? How pathetic is that? And you don't even have to pay a fee. Yet, only just over half the voting age population registered in the 1994 elect
Sometimes it's difficult to come to grips with the operating techniques and the obvious inexperience of the FD operating hams that are worked in the course of the 24 hours that is FD. Sometimes, thou

I also wear graduated bifocals (and they or my eyes also need to be recalibrated). During a contest at a station with the monitor raised, I actually find it easier to read the screen, radios, keyboa
I actually believe I am as Uh-oh.....this sudden turn and the current thread about glasses has me deeply worried. Is the CQ-Contest reflector at risk for becoming an online Geritol net. Egads! Zounds
Are bright lights easier on the eyes over Hi, Jay. I like the room dim. Really dim... I turn off the ceiling light and just leave a gooseneck lamp with a 25 watt bulb going at the far end of the desk
Howdy, y'all! There are still some openings in the TDXS team roster for tonight's NA Sprint SSB Contest. If you ever wanted to be a Texan or Texas-related, this is the way to do it and from the comfo

No matter how well the op/station does; no matter how sophisticated the station and setup, computerized log submission should never be a criteria for entry into a contest. The contest is the thing.
Oh my god! The guys who can send long calls and the guys who have attention spans long enough to be able to copy them will have the advantage over those who can't and don't!! UNFAIR!!!! and what's wi
I get the sense that the robot in question is only calling CQ, necessitating it's ability to not only differentiate between signals in a pileup, but to handle weak sigs, also. But, what if the robot
Not only that, but by their actions they inspire others to set higher goals, learn new practices/procedures, try new things to make that bigger score, whether using one or more radios. I like to thi
I was one of those "guilty" of saying "K", "kilo", "KW" or "Kilowatt". I see no difference between any of them. In fact, if you want to get particular, K and kilo are the most accurate and correct to
