Sorry for replying to an old message (I'm behind), but I have to differ with this opinion, Tom, for two good reasons: 1) There's no relationship between Contest CW and regulatory CW. In the US, the h

Jim, thank you for pointing out the Contesting FAQ. I'm new to contesting, and that's the first place I started. It's a great article. While the Contesting FAQ is a great place to start, it certainly

I don't know. CW decoders just don't work well as a set of ears. From my understanding you must be right on freq and have a very good s/n ratio. If you are calling on the DX's freq and someone sends

This is a really great analogy by K8GU. The hypothesis in The Tipping Point is a terrific way to think logically about getting the magic of radio contesting out to more people. Jim N3BB _____________

I would second Ward's observation. As a relatively new ham (2000) and also relatively new to contesting, I think our challenge is helping new hams experience the high points of contesting, even if th

Our discussions always concentrate on how to bring more young people into ham radio, and then how to keep them interested/involved. How can one argue with that noble objective. But there's another po

Not so very different at all. The real question is how to RETAIN the new ham's interest in ham radio. By going beyond the sheer utility of communication to the enjoyment and interest that radio has

Hi Bill, To a point, they are related: we have a number of newly licensed VHF/UHF types who are keen to ham radio, but need to be nudged toward HF activity. So it's not so much about getting new hams

One of the misconceptions that seems to keep coming up is that most hams become hams when they are young, and stay hams their entire life. So we believe that we can only attract young people. Why lim
