Be willing to think unconventionally for a moment... == Sports == Ten people crouch at the starting line. The referee's pistol is held in the air for a moment. The trigger is squeezed and the runners
Really? I must admit that I come from the HF contest world and many of the top stations have web sites - that provide all sorts of information about the station and it's design. In addition I have fo

I have never seen as much bickering as goes on these days. Why don't you guys just get on the air and have some "FUN" making contacts. By the way, look for my friend and I (KA2LIM & KB2YCC) /4 the da

Phew! If you're concerned about how folks use a word, just don't use it and just say what you want to say, even if that takes a few more words. As you can see, quotation marks do not make things any
Hi Alex, I think you are taking things too seriously. W2EV is just trying to get all of us to think without our usual blinders on. Yeah, some of it sounds crazy, but it is all creative, or showing so
Yepp, I'm with Dave on this one. I too find many of W2EV's various idea postings to be both thought provoking and interesting. I may even completely disagree with some of those ideas (remember the id

Hi, Guys [and Gals]! I just got back home from a day of the mundane [but still enjoyable] side of HR; making power cables, deciding where the computers will go, etc., and found this VERY interesting
I agree - the CW Sprint now has a log deadline of a week. The internet sprints have had log dealines of like 3 days. I would gladly go for faster log deadlines if this also means results sooner. -- G
While I do not know the exact numbers - there are very few paper logs submitted these days - and the numbers keep going down every year. The CW sprint shortened the log submission window to a week an

The WRTC real-time scoe reporting was done by the referees at each contest station. They manually sent in their team's numbers as an SMS text message on a cell phone once an hour, which was automatic
Having engendered some very thought provoking responses (and keep 'em coming!), my mind wandered to a new Radiosporting structure... Suppose the system allowed for two types of non-paper entries (pap
