Interesting. I would keep the QSO in the log and forward the email to the WPX guys. Removing it from the log mysteriously makes the contact never happen? CC Packet Cluster W0MU-1 W0MU.NET or 67.40.14
Calling out of band does not a contact make. Yes lots of people screw up and call out of band. I have done it and probably will do it again. I have yet to work the DX as they were listening elsewhere

We don't need a 3 digit check either. Why do I need to know if the station was licensed in 1912 or 2012? This information is not a multiplier. It is interesting to draw some loose conclusions of our
Has there been any thought to possibly webcasting some of the forums, dinners and maybe even the Contest University for those of us that are unable to attend? Or at the least videos that could be put

This brings back fond memories.... I can remember hearing callsigns ssb or cw in the rushing water after flushing the toilet. Turn down the volume is also my only suggestion. CC Packet Cluster W0MU-1
I am saddened to hear this news. He will certainly be missed and was a great ham and contester. I was unable to operate SS this year but I will remember Ken in the SS contests in the years to come. M

1. If it's OK to use "call history" files, is it OK to look up states in the (on-line) callbook. Why should one list of historical data be OK, and the other not? (I did NOT look up anybody's state or
How productive is calling for a specific multiplier? I'm thinking not very or everyone would be doing it... As to the later, it would depend on how you acted on that information, wouldn't it? Mike W0
Unfortunately, selective calling can lead to all kinds of single-op issues, such as... "Hey Dick, a Rhode Island station is on 14210" and innocent DX spots, made by others, like: DX de W2XYZ: 14320.0
What concerns me is why are these instances not published or discussed more openly for the rest of the community? It appears from my chair that this type of information is only shared with a select g
In the paper days, we tried to keep paper dupe sheets the best we could and it was expected that you would re dupe your logs prior to submitting them. I am very happy that we have crossed that hurdle

I missed the part where it says that contest sponsors must openly discuss their plans with the entire world. Once again if you don't like the rules don't operate or send in a log. Very very simple. I
