First, I would like to thank all of those who read this and gave me a contact in the Colorado QSO Party (COQP). It was the first one and the participation sounded pretty good, albeit the bands were d
This request is being sent to all possible reflectors that may have had participated in the COQP this past weekend. I know that the PSK reflector and the 857 reflectors are not contesting reflectors,
Just a "heads up" guys. I think W9ILY/0 will be operating from North Dakota in this weekends NAQP RTTY. He is OK on QRZ.COM and also LOTW for a QSL. I worked him in Thursday nights parctice session a
I'm 100% in agreement with you, Dave. I looked at the ARRL letter and I didn't even see it mentioned in that. The whole contest scene is being overrun with rediculous contests. As it is there are man

Does anybody have an idea of what contest to choose for the upcoming TARA Skirmish contest? I use N1MM and Writelog, so if there is a choice between the two, I'd sure like to know what it would be. E
In the mail today I received a very nice certificate from the sponsors of the FLORIDA QSO Party for 2nd Place, Colorado, CW only. Thanks to the sponsors. Look for me in this years contest. Maybe I ca
This whole thread is getting quite rediculous. Let's move on to something more productive. How's that for a novel idea? Dick W0RAA _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing l
Here we go, months and months of pro & con debate over HTML vs Text. I guess the good thing is that it will get rid of all the Skimmer crap. At least for a while. :) Dick W0RAA ______________________
