Today I checked/downloaded my results on L.O.T.W. The majority, probably 75%, of my QSO's submitted were from contests. It has been pointed out before, on this list, those are the easiest QSO's to up
If I do the math: radio one on RX draws 4 or 5 amps, radio two on TX draws 19 amps. I think, if my math is correct, that equals 23 or 24 amps. An astron 20 amp supply is rated at 16 amp continuous an

Gee whiz, I remember, in the not to distant past, when we went for years without NWT, maybe 1 station from WV and ME. At least now the only section with limited participation is NWT and Jay is doing
In a recent posting I made the following remarks: "You see a packet spot for a new one, your radio automatically QSY's to the freq,(god forbid you do any more than necessary), you do work the guy....

Wait just a 'DANG' minute. Why can't we US hams have our own contests? The rest of the world has contests which don't favor us. Why is it we think we must pander to every single whiner? U.S. ham-radi
I was a little late (5 hours after the contest) uploading my log and LOTW file. I got a very pleasant surprise, 24 QSL's were instantly made at LOTW. That's less than 10%, of my log, but it's a good
Well there's the typical 'East Coast' mentality at its best. If you can't work Europe the contest is a 'bust'. How about those 2 unique band openings after 10 PM east coast time. Between late Fri & S
I have been reading LOTW questions & comments on several mailing lists and there doesn't seem to be a consensus. I know a guy who live 5 miles from me who is going to upload everything from 1945. He
I could not agree with my friend, Jim, more. In fact here is an excerpt from reply sent directly to Trey: "Hi Trey; your plan, of course, is flawless. BUT why do we want or need it? The old system ha

It's the principle, W1AW is the ARRL Headquarters call, (regardless of who is using it). The Headquarters call should upload to L.O.T.W. within a few days, especially since they got their 'BRAG' into
Saturday a friend of mine gave out some points in NAQP. He was in a state different from the transmitter location. He was on an internet remote base. What should he have used for his state? I read an
Bruce might I suggest you think this through before you make such a hasty response. I refer you to VE4XT's response where he asks a valid question: Why go to a rare mult when you can do from at home.
For many years now I have been amazed at the way a subject, any subject, can get so twisted that it loses its original meaning. Bob I'm not picking on you but you said:""I felt that the comments were
Come out here to the west and try to use 3840 during any domestic contest like NAQP or SS. You will be run off very rudely by the world famous W6OBB. He will tell you in no uncertain terms he owns th
