Personally, I'm not interested in using any artificial chemical means of staying awake. The stress of staying up for 40+ hours pounds my aging body enough without adding drugs with potentially danger

My dedicated S&P rate is much lower than Randy's. It's an area of my game that needs a lot of work. I can do 50-60 per hour if I try hard, but if I don't focus on rate and make the right decisions, i

Right. What's been missing in this discussion is that if a General class licensee operates at a station with an Extra class control op, the control op's callsign must be used if the station is opera

Well, the FCC rules don't say anything about borrowing callsigns, but I think there's a loophole. Although there's a primary station location on each license, that's not the only station of which you

I thought that was the case, but was misled by the use of "primary station license grant" in Part 97. Maybe that's old wording that never got deleted. In any caee, the point is that you can "borrow"

I don't speak for the ARRL DXAC, but I believe the relevant DXCC rule is: 9. All stations must be contacted from the same DXCC entity. The location of any station shall be defined as the location of

Anamolies like this are inevitable with a continent-based scoring system. I think the only way to fix it is to use a scheme based on actual distance, such as one QSO point per 1000 kilometers of dist

Without extra credit for distance, there's less incentive to work the world. Countries and continents with large population would have less incentive to work outside their borders, except to get indi

LoTW uses a 30 minute window for matching. If the QSO times have a difference of greater than 30 minutes, the QSOs won't match. It's easy for this to happen if you logged local time instead of univer
