Gee Syl, after your first post I thought you just reacted without digesting the facts. Now after your second post, I am convinced that you just don't get it. You now have more information in more ven
This has certainly been a lively discussion. Lots of very interesting points on both sides of an undefined issue. Some are shooting from the hip and giving knee jerk reactions to a proposal that has
I don't think the form of the power matters much. As far as the 50K, I would have probably logged that as 50, presuming that the K indicated that it was my turn to transmit. I ment, -- CQ-Contest on
The casual contester will be pleasantly surprised to find that their score has been increased rather than decreased as a result of the UBN log checking process. That is the process that establishes w
The technical wizards out there will probably hammer me, but it sounds as though a number of things could be going on. You did not mention what rig you are using, and what you mean by 50 watts. BTW,
I will never forget the day that the late Don Reiboff and I visited Rush on Foul Weather Bluff. I think it was the day after we had been entertained by Chip and Danny at KRAB. The station design was
I spent 10 hours on the last day of 2003 preping and sending my logs to LoTW. They included all my QSOs from 99 to present. 1st step was conversion from DX4WIN to ADIF. Then I transferred to a machin

Jim makes an excellent point, and that is only one example. Packet is not for everyone, but for some it's just peachy. It's why they make chocolate and vanilla. Dallas W3PP -- The world's top contest
With all due respect Rag, Those not observing the bandplan were those europeans that transmitted below 7040, not those that listened there. There are several other continents out there that don't sha

Just received this note from President of RAST. Could someone pass to the DX reflector. 73 Dallas W3PP We have received good news from PTD today. We have received permission for an amazing operation
I have been away for a few days or I would have posted this sooner. I was extremely saddened and shocked to hear of Chuck's passing. Chuck was a regular op here at W3PP and one of our main "run" ops.
First Nat, let me express my surprise to hear that you don't want to work Delaware! Actually, the best thing you can do with that 40m yagi is connect it to an antenna switch with another position av

I think QSO Party promos are more on point than a lot of the other topics that are discussed here ad nauseum. This is, after all, a contest reflector. W3PP

K0HB I have the utmost respect for those of you walking the picket lines protesting the use of packet in contests. I think the distinction between human operating skills and technical progress is a
