Why don't we just give everyone a participation certificate. I would like to see more participation and NOT less. If everyone is really in it for a certificate let's just give everyone a certificate.
I have asked Dan Henderson this same question and have the following information to provide you. It is NOT in the spirit of the competition for any club to "LIMIT" the number of participants in a clu
I recognize that in some of the BIG Multi'sThe stations have multiple radios on indivdual bands How is this effectively accomplished? How can a station have two radios on 40M for example without dama
