I know there is/was a group, and pardon me for not remembering who they are, who is slowly hand entering all the ARRL scores into a database. Help has been requested in the past, but you had to have
Well said Fabian! I get a kick out of running across contesting friends and listening to them run (or not as the case may be), knowing that they may be running new equipment or antennas or just that
I wanted to thank ACG, SECC and TCG for sponsoring the Contest Suite in conjunction with the Huntsville Hamfest. It was a nice size and I enjoyed talking with all the folks there. Learned a lot, had
I'd agree with you Dick... calling CQ is worth the effort, you never know who was listening and following and you're there anyway... go for it, you could open a whole new front ;o) 73, Julius Julius
One thing is missing from all of these... Which contest are you in?? Your approach most likely will depend on the contest, a state QSO Party would be different than SS and CQ WW DX would be different
This year's running of the Tennessee QSO Party is almost upon us! The contest runs from 1800z Sunday, September 7 until 0300z Monday, September 8, 2008 from 160M to 440 Mhz. In addition to the wonder
My compliments to the Minnesota QSO Party folks for the GREAT new tin container for the wild rice. The rice is great eating and the tin will have a place on the fireplace mantle! 73, Julius Julius Fa
Rick, Subscribe to the NCJ (National Contest Journal) and try and find back issues. Check the various big contest club websites, many have basic resources available to the contesting community at lar
I will be putting the rare TN multiplier on the air. QSLs may be available for a SAE and one share of Ford ;o) Thanks to all of those making an extra effort to put the tough sections on for the rest
I definitely advocate State QSO Parties and smaller/shorter DX contests. Definitely do your own state, where YOU are the "rare" one. Some of the multi state contests such as 7QP and NEQP are also gre

I'd like to thank the folks of the Minnesota Wireless Association and the Paul Bunyan Amateur Radio Club for the great plaque and always fun event! It always amazes me how many mobiles take to the ro
Ulli, I suspect it is tough to be competitive (SOAB) for under $3K unless you're a really good scrounger. SOSB may be easier, although taking first would still put you up against some very impressive
dink, They do care... I always send in all of my QSOs, even when entering SOSB. They don't count towards or affect your score. If you don't send them and submit a log, someone else gets a NIL... 73,
Thanks Paul... I recall the article(s)... They probably should be re-run periodically as newbies come into the sport. "Sweat" equity goes a long way as does scrounging. eBay is a good source, but don
There were at least a few key clicks, although not as many as in the past... Still a couple ummm, for a lack of a better description, "spark" operations going on. Hope they found the problem, if they
I'll second that! Particularly when both N2WM and N2WK are playing in the same event. Several times during ARRL 160 two of us were in the same place at the same time this past weekend. At least once,
Jukka, It may also be possible that you have copied and logged a call incorrectly, which would also be a potential NIL. I have to admit if I'm in S&P and I run across someone sending "QSO B4", I keep
I hear N3WN a lot *chuckles* Kinda expect higher dupes on 160, noise, brainfry, boredom or you're the only station they can still hear... Julius Fazekas N2WN Tennessee Contest Group TnQP http://www.t
