Throughout my contest career, I have always been a proponent of "work 'em again." During this past SS, I have added a new perspective and may be changing my appreciation of "QSO B4." Two guys gave me

1. As far as I am aware, no contest sponsor has yet to request that you record the contest. 2. Self-recordings by those intent on cheating are worthless. With today's technology, one can modify anyth
Hi all: This is to the best of my recollection. YMMV. In the beginning (gosh, sounds deep)....there was Single-OP, Multi-Single, and M/M. During the mid-1980's, Packet started gaining momentum and th
Well, seems that my memory was not 100%; I forgot about the year that CQWWDX had the category listed as UNLIMITED. Here is an exact quote from the CQWWDX SSB writeup from 1988. [snip] Last year we me
Wow...talk about great delivery. When I opened up the front door this afternoon, there was a box from ARRL with you-know-what inside. Very cool and very much appreciated! And public thanks to Todd, K
The trouble with the SO2R "check-box" (and even more so with the category, if there were one), is that it doesn't tell you enough information so that one might "compare" efforts. Just how many 2nd ra
Seems to me that this is answered in the rules. Note the LAST sentence below. If I cannot sign KR2Q/100 (which the FCC allows but apparently the WPX rules do not), it would seem to be obvious (logica
My take: 1. SO2R will be much easier for the masses because the 2nd radio will sort of be on auto-pilot. You will still have to "fit" the Q into your run, if you are running. 2. Skimmer will be very

I hesitate to post a "me too" memo, but I agree with KØRC...cut the guy some slack! 1. Directed at Newbies 2. If the newbie is really "into it," don't you think that after a dozen Q's, they'll get th

OK...I just have to share this. During the ARRL DX SSB, I worked one of our reflectorees from the beautiful Carib. I gave my call, using phonetics, in the "usual" way (for me): KILOWATT RADIO TWO QUE
You guys crack me up. We'll know what it means they explain it to us (if they explain it to us), in the context being raised here. Until then....here's what I see. http://picasaweb.google.com/gcarson
FYI.... de Doug KR2Q http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter/06/0818/ ARRL's DXCC program has added language to its Accreditation Criteria to minimize difficulties stemming from online DXpedition logs. The ch
Well, I think that I qualify to address the topic of QRP contesting, so..... 1. I have never done the RDXC before, but I will play this year. It is clearly a BIG contest. 2. I have never signed /QRP
