I think it is cheating. The only way this is any different than self-spotting is that the beneficiary of the contacts generated by this solicitation on the network is a club score and not specificall

You should never argue - it's always faster to simply work someone you think is a dupe. When someone has called you for the third or fourth time, or calls twice in a span of two or three minutes then

Maybe there should be two CW Sprints this season, and whichever weekend has the most logs submitted will be designated the real CW sprint. I bet a lot of people would operate both weekends. -- -- Ken

Since I lost credit for a maritime mobile contact (and mult) in last year's 10 Meter Contest, I was wondering what the proper way to log these in a Cabrillo file is. Using my own call as an example,

Having just operated the ARRL 10 Meter Contest this weekend, I think one of the big contest sponsors (ARRL, CQ, or maybe NCJ) should sponsor a similar Six Meter Contest. Six Meters is a great band, a

The June VHF Contest, though, is not a single-band contest. Entering six meters only in that contest would be much like entering the 10M single band category in CQWW or the ARRL DX Contest - it's a f

They only count for double points on CW. Not that I can think of. Since one can no longer earn a Novice or Tech+ license, I would expect that within a very few years either every one of those station
