If I had designed it myself, I couldn't have done a better job designing this desk for SO2R. It's a Bush Contempo Collection Corner Desk & Hutch and at $220 a bargain, even if you have to put it toge
Randy, K5ZD has done it again with a great write-up on the 2002 CW SS. The web reporting is so good I almost don't mind the line scores not being in QST. And ... I made the Top 10 in High Power for t
I'd like to print QSO information directly on my QSLs instead of printing on labels. Any suggestions for which printer can best handle 3" x 5" QSLs on cardstock with a relatively large automatic feed
I just got an Epson Photo Stylus 820 at Staples for $79. Better, faster, cheaper than the Epson Photo Stylus 750 . Works great with BV. The only drawback is it will only take about 25 cards at a time
I am blanket QSLing VY2TT QSOs. (I have clearly printed "NO REPLY QSL NEEDED" on each card, so don't flame me for this practice. It is also an ad for the PEI DX Lodge and ultimately a time saver give
