Dear Masa san! Probably its time to recognize 4U1WB as separate entity for CQ Contests (its better to recognize it for DXCC but ARRL is not involved in CQ Contests :-)). According to current decision
All, Terry, N4TZ, has not even acknowledged receipt of my October 24 email. If you feel that the 4U1WB entry is valid and should be accepted and would like to comment on this absurd, ridiculous, and
Wait... so let me see if I understand this correctly. 4U1WB was properly and legally licensed by the United Nations, to operate out of a UN agency located at a UN office building located in Washingto
Hello Masa, Al and everyone, 4U1WB has been an accepted entry in the CQ contests for many years. In the CQ 160 Contests 4U1WB counts as DC for a multiplier. I agree this is not right so if this is th
