Hi all, I would like to ask if any kind FT-5000 owner anywhere within a reasonable distance from Boston (or coming there by car perhaps) would be willing to help us (me and ES2RR) out and lend us a r
The cases are not exactly comparable I guess. It is obvious that CQWW needs to make a decision in all those problematic cases. It is also obvious that the rules and principles are clear about pirate
Hi, Is this a joke? It can't be true in reality that the organizers meant to have assisted and non-assisted in the same qualification category and the scores compared to each other! So far I thought
Hi, To avoid the rumors about my 15m H Frame having crashed I posted pics to my QRZ page on the 45m tower that crashed just after WPX in a storm. It carried Optibeam monoband stacks and 3 elements on
There we are. Another witch hunt launched and people calling someone cheater or unethical for no reason whatsoever. There is absolutely nothing unethical about doing a contest and then deciding based
The funny thing here is that even if CR3L had stayed in MM it would be way premature to hang gold medals on PJ2T guys:) Nobody seems to notice that W3LPL is just 0.6% away by the raw scores and judgi
What Ranko proposed was that the potential qualifiers will commit to letting anybody into their station for inspection at any time during any qualifying contest (ideally this should still be agreed a
Well, discussion is surely not useless if there is a rule that creates confusion and that the organizers have not been enforcing. We would surely welcome a clear statement by the organizers that as a
Well, 10 years has passed, it is February 2017 and I have to fulfil my promise of bringing those survey results up here again! You can see the post from February 2007 below summarizing opinions colle
for me at KO38CS the declination is 9.43 degrees now and I have used 10 degrees for a while. Though 20 years ago the declination was 6.57 degrees and 10 years ago 7.75 degrees. So it is climbing:) 10
Yes, of course you are single op unassisted. Firstly it is 100% clear that using a human antenna switch does not put you in Assisted category as you are not using any QSO Finding Assistance as clearl
Thanks for pointing that out Dave! I have not entered ARRL contests seriously for a while and had not noticed that. Of course that proves even more clearly that Operating does not include technical o
hi, just one remark - comparison of the number of entries in SO unassisted categories in CQWW or CQWPX is somewhat misleading because very big number of casual entrants just enter SO Unassisted categ
Hi, the same way will Estonian HQ station ES9A/ES9HQ not take part showing support to our friends in Ukraine. 73 ES5TV ERAU HF Manager Lithuanian Amateur Radio Society and LY0HQ team also has decided
Hi, Introduction of those score comparison areas within a single qualification area is a horrible idea. They did the same in EU1 (splitting Baltics and Scandinavia) and pretty much destroyed motivati
Yes, that is how it is. Every now and then people want to give a chance to stations not on seaside or hilltop or otherwise not being competitive. That is a dead end. If the geography justifies creati
