" Not everyone makes certificates with the extra designators. Not every logging program allows for recording of that data. Since this is the case, you may strip the QSOs of that extra designator, re
Many thanks to Jim Gooch, NA3V and The Steel City Amateur Radio Club for sponsoring plaques in the 2008 PQP which were received today. Thanks to the team behind the Party for all the hard work too! 7
Jim, Follow the link, do a search for your call. That will bring up a screen with all the WPX events you've participated in (not sure how far back it goes, at least to 2006) To the right of each line
I have used a B complex plus C, but not to stay awake, more to offset any possible things like a cold and stress. My favorite substances to abuse during a contest involve sugar and/or caffeine or som
I would debate the numbers theory on how many are serious in the LP or QRP categories. You may be able to argue that, as a percentage of the number of participants, there are fewer "serious" LP entr
Igor, That is true of the 2010 WRTC Competition, but not the qualifying competition to win a position on a team going to WRTC. I do not think we are talking about the same thing, as anyone can play i
Hmmm... SIM or WII Amateur Radio, there's probably a place for that too. Just as with simulated flight, poker, baseball. Is it the same thing as the "real" thing, no. Can it be modeled to be a close
Hi Ashraf, I think you may be assuming that you would be forced to use this technology. I don't believe this is the case, or even the eventual intention of the new category. You might enjoy skiing, b

Prasad, I might even have a chance of "hearing" you on PS3 ;o) Honestly, I think we are a long ways away from having folks interested in online contesting. This is still more of a hands on community.
A little humor always helps. Better coverage of the categories where the bulk of the participation occurs. Maybe better coverage of the club competition as a lot of folks get on just to help their gr
I do remember this from the ARRL DX. It was a major reason, back in the day, for me playing in it. I did, for some reason, prefer CQ WW DX back then, but can't recall why (maybe more "rare" DX showed
I have a bad controller box for this rotator and thought it might be time to try a non-Yaesu box. Anyone care to share possible options they have had experience with? I know a little bit about Green
Many thanks to SPARC and sponsor Dave Williams, K7HMP, for the nice plaque I just received. It will be a nice addition to the wall! 73, Julius Julius Fazekas N2WN Tennessee Contest Group http://www.k
If you can find them, AB-577 and AB-621 masts make excellent 45'+ FD Towers (and nice at home too). At worst all one might need to do is work from a 6' step ladder. 73, Julius Julius Fazekas N2WN Ten

I prefer a mesh type chair. Keeps air circulating, but can be a problem with swamp gas and mosquitoes... I like wider chairs to as I tend to fidget and sit on the edge of the seat. The chair I have n
Hi Folks, The Tennessee QSO Party is almost upon us. We have a total of 11 categories offering plaques. The past couple of years the plaques have been shaped like the state, this year will be no diff
