HI everybody. Valery,RW3GU asked me to post this LINK on his behalf. http://pileup.ru/cqww/ You just have to play around with it to see all of the great sorting power there. This is a compilation of
Heh heh heh.... Well, despite being QRP, I did manage several DX qsos (south). But the real killer was that I had to PASS a local W2 to 10 in order to NOT miss a double mult (zone 5 and USA). Gosh! d
I did not know about this. Even more, look at their home page: http://www.mmsn.org/ The petition "background" is amazing to me. I quote: "The Maritime Mobile Service Net (MMSN) operates on 14300.0 KH
1. How come these boats/ships are using ham radio? Aren't there rules and regs or at least guidelines in place to have radio communication equipment (or something) in case of an emergency? I'm hoping
This topic is right up there with "cut numbers." :-) First, the current rules (points/mults) are well established. When someone chooses to go to a 2 point country instead of a 3 point country, they k

Yup...agree. This last CQWW CW, I almost fell out of my chair when I heard a T5 note and "XX" Nah...couldn't be. It wasn't. Boy, do I miss hearing FB8XX. No cluster, no packet, but boy, once he got t

Whatever TECHNOLOGY that you use INSIDE your station during the contest period should be allowed in the "unassisted" category. This specifically would allow decoders, "panoramic scopes", LOCAL skimme
So now there is a survey....sigh. The problem is not the rules; it's not the contest. The problem is that some have lost the sense of what a competition is. The concept of EARNING a win has, on many
Being spotted (whether by many others or by a few or even one cheerleader) does indeed have a sizable impact on rate based on my many decades as a log checker in CQWW. It is totally obvious that the

Sorry folks...but ever try reading the RULES? IV. NUMBER EXCHANGE: Phone: RS report plus zone (i.e., 5705). CW: RST report plus zone (i.e., 57905). So we are all REQUIRED to send 5705 or 57905, irres
