I know a couple of avid DXPeditioners that have traded their 706's for Kenwood 480's and are very glad they did. Mike, W1NR --Original Message-- From: cq-contest-bounces@contesting.com [mailto:cq-con
40M is a mess and will probably stay that way until the whole world gets the same allocation. After all, running split uses twice as much spectrum as simplex! It was refreshing to work some of the EU
Don't worry. The log checkers will count it correctly. The problem is the latest country file. Download a new one and it should recalculate it correctly. It won't make any difference in your Cabrillo
Do your logs have the correct time? Does your DX cluster have the time of day? I now have a stratum 2 NTP time server at timelord.w1nr.net that is open to the Ham Radio community. Under Windows XP, e

It appears that I have solved the problems with my second cluster node and it looks like it is up and stable. The node is currently filtered to display only spots and announce messages from US and Ca

It is NOT EFFECTIVE YET and won't be for CQWW!!! It says 30 days after publication in the federal register, which I "think" was yesterday. Let's wait until the ARRL has deciphered all the language an
Since Single Band Assisted is recognized in the official records, then I would say it is a valid category. See http://www.cqww.com/worldwide.htm. Mike, W1NR __________________________________________
The rules are a bit confusing. They never say anything about soliciting contacts over the air on the contest frequencies. From the CQWW 2006 rules, III A 1: 1. Single Operator High: Those stations at
If you NIL the contacts, it WILL get noticed by the log check and your log will probably be disqualified. The problem with the rule is that zone and country multiplier credit count for the other stat
