Jim Neiger, N6TJ, etc. has informed me that his last email to me was private. That wasn't obvious as his first paragraph offered two alternative insults, leaving it up to the reader to decide which w
While this was sent to me directly, it was anonymous. I doubt Mr. Qwerty Zxcvbn will object to my forwarding it to the reflector. I hope this isn?t the ?evidence? as to the ultimate TRUTH we all seek
Hi Tonno, Now that is the kind of naming specific calls, log analysis and evidence that is clear and convincing. Thank you for your efforts and sharing the results on the reflector. I hope RD3A will
Let's combine threads and create a new category. S/M. No, not S&M. Well, maybe... Single/Multi A single operator (one person and one person only) operates the entire contest period, can do whatever h
I clicked on the link in Pete's post and saw the following spots made by skimmers on 7031.6: KO3I 0131 KO4OK 0129 KO4D 0128 I have followed the skimmer thread with interest. This single sample convin
The Packet/Skimmer Score Increase Hypothesis can be real world tested in any contest by pairs of comparable single operators/stations not necessarily interested in competing for a top score, but who
I have a long length of 7/8" hardline for which I need end connectors, but I don't know the cable model number and the cable has been just about completely painted over in its prior use so I haven't
Hi Mark, I've got to disagree with you on this one. How long do I have before you raise your eyebrows at my integrity for a belated post to 3830? And why? What kind of royal razzing would follow? 73,
Hi Mark, Thanks for the response. I suppose the concern about "category shopping" is legitimate. However, whether you wait one hour or 30 days to post to 3830, you can still massage your log before s
ICEPHOBIC COATINGS Yes, I am an icephobic. The January ice storm in PEI took down many antennas, including two stacked M2 125 MPH rated, 6 element 20 meter yagis on 59' booms. The booms broke right i
Hi Ron, W3WN, You say one question remains unanswered. Why do YOU want to look at MY log? I'll answer your question directly. I don't want to look at YOUR log. In fact, I don't really don't want to L
Well, Hans, your comment doesn't surprise me. You're just a boy and his radio. Of course, you've never learned anything from talking to other contesters. You've never read a magazine article on impro
Hans, you don't get it. You learn from others and thereby "hijack the work product of other contesters to improve my score." Improving your score by learning from other contesters, whether it be at C
I would submit that the 60 minute off-time rule doesn't apply before YOU start the contest, even though the contest has started. I would submit that the 60 minute off-time rule doesn't apply after YO
I upgraded computers and can't install the WT4I contest tools to perform SCP maintenance. The WT4I site seems inactive. Any other tools out there for importing logs into an SCP file and editing the S
What information regarding actions taken by the CQWWCC was contained in that update other than there will be informational updates? What a silly post. 73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT __________________________

I was sending PE. Some programs use PE, some use PEI. PE is one fewer letter to say. Unlike in the U.S., Canadian calls do indicate the actual province. VY2 is Prince Edward Island, whether you abbre
Now that the U.S. phone band extends down to 3600 khz, why on earth do stations work split on 80 meters? I have trouble believing it is simply because U. S. stations have their antennas cut for 3800.
I want to run Writelog on a laptop and control a K3 via the W5XD Multi-keyer. The problem I'm running into is RF hash. I got a Byterunner USB to single Serial Port dongle for this purpose that genera
