- *sigh* Let's examine this assertion that Canadians have a huge advantage in the ARRL International DX Contest, Phone, W/VE competition. There are thirteen entries categories. In the phone contest, ho

- It is because the interest in contesting is poor in Canada. If someone built a big station in eastern Canada they would do pretty well. Case in point - VY2ZM. Also look at VE1JF who has been placing

- Another observation about Canada v. USA in phone contests: Let's consider a typical Canadian contest callsign, VY2ZM. Pronounced phonetically, this callsign is a minimum of eight syllables ("victor y

- That's at least equally true in 40M SSB DXing, perhaps more so. A large number of U.S. stations hear all that rare stuff operating transceive below 7100 - and there are few Canadian DXers who seem to

- I'd be interested in why you think that is true. Looking at the logs submitted for the ARRL DX Contest this year I don't see much difference between the number of logs sent in by USA and Canadian ham

- Blanket statements without facts to prove them are treading in dangerous waters. One might consider that the amateur population of Canada is about 7% of that in the US. Someone else can crunch the n

- Tom, in Canada a single person may have more than 1 call. Actually, I would say every 3rd person having 2-letter suffix also owns a 3-letter call. Moreover, we are allowed to have a 3-letter call in

- There's no point in Canadians exploiting the phone allocation advantage on 40. All the S&P DX is by and large only listening above 7150 (for Americans listening 7040-7100), so CQs in 7050-7100 are pr
