David, As I said in the note section of the 160 QSL I sent you "Thanks for a really great Web site". I and many others appreciate the effort you go through to post the numerous links and the summarie
Hi All, Having read all the posts on both the proposed changes to the length of DX contests and those regarding the "advantages" of East coast contesters in DX contests I had to chuckle when I was re
Art, Here in the WWA section this past weekend one of our best operators had a problem in which he was inadvertently sending out two different checks depending on whether he was using his "CQ" or "S&
It seems to me that if some folks spent as much time MENTORING entry level Hams as they do BELITTLING them on this reflector there might be enough HF Contest operators around to get the (apparently)
Steve, You of course should consider yourself "blessed" given your obvious vision. You "got it" right out of the box - Congratulations! What about others? Have you considered that some others might n

I want to apologize to the list members for some of the wording I have used while expressing my views on the topic of cheating in Contesting. I am just a small-time contester but I am also very passi
How about this for a new approach on this issue... Rather than spend the next three months (or more) battling back and forth on this reflector exchanging opinions regarding the interpretation of the
