Wrong, Mike. With upgraded antennas and a good team, M6T made our worst-ever multi-multi score of just over 8M, having set the Eu record at 29.3M in 1999 which stood for 12 years. Conditions were tru

Yep - it's a DX contest - if you live on the east coast. It is pretty amazing how op's on the east coast piss and moan about any rule change when they are having a ball working Europe and the left co

I don't know, I was being facetious. It was your suggestion. It seems wrong to make one QSO and have 26 multipliers. John KK9A And what will that do for you? Barry W2UP John KK9A To: cq-contest@conte
