Hi guys. We started a petition to ask the organizers of CQ Contest to review the 275 Km radius rule (Club/Group) competition. We have been allowed by the organizers to submit our contest scores to ou
I'm probably going to be in the minority on this as I have been on most other topics like this. But I think in exactly the opposite direction. I feel the circle is ten times TOO BIG right now! I do n
