Hi Everyone, I am very curious as to the prevailing opinion and wisdom, (or lack thereof), of counting the VE stations in with the US stations in the ARRLDX contests. While some would say that the VE
Hi Paul, I guess that I did not make myself clear.... I am NOT suggesting that VE's stop giving their Section. I know that one of the things that give the ARRLDX contest its Worldwide appeal is the f
It has been interesting to read the different viewpoints in this discussion. What is BIZARRE however, is the response of some people to things that I never said and points that I never made. Here is
Hi Bill, Yes, you qualify as East Coast, but when people are generalizing, they are thinking about Virginia and North of there. Really you are Southeast not East coast. (To us frozen Northerners you
W1 and W8 at a "slight" disadvantage in the NAQP SSB? I DON'T THINK SO! When a statement this silly is made then it is definitely time for some meaningful discussion! 1) The disparity between W1/W8 a
Martin, Probably the MAJOR reason why people say "Call"? or "QRZ"? or "Again"? or something like that immediately after you (or any other station) sent your callsign is the following: 1) Someone call
G'day Mate, My comments are interspersed below... If you are ID'ing after every contact, then I do NOT understand why you are getting "call?" and "?" frequently, EXCEPT that you as a loud exotic DX s
Hi Kelly, I have to strongly disagree with most of what you said. I will elaborate. FIRST, when you are operating in a contest you have to figure out whether you are: 1) A Casual participant 2) A Com

Thanks to K8IA and KR6X for correcting my mistaken assumption that I was the first to use SO2R consistently in DX contests. I was the first to do MODERN SO2R then. :-) I find it interesting to note t
Leigh, At the time I started doing SO2R (without computers) and with manual logging and manual duping (UGH!) in the early 80's in DX contests, I was not aware of anyone else doing SO2R as we know it
To Matt's point about weird names.... Although I have rarely operated in the Sprint in the past 20 years, when I get on I tend to be mischievous and use difficult names just to keep guys "honest". I
Hi Ken, This is the first SO2R "debate" that I have sat out. It's hard NOT to get sucked in but a lot easier on the blood pressure if you don't. I'm not sure that anyone on this reflector has ever ch

For the coming lean years of withering HF propagation.... I know that it would be more interesting for some to beat their heads against the wall for only 24 hours in a solar minima year with a major
