I received an E-mail from Glenn, W6OTC, in a reply to my asking for clarification on Canadian multipliers for CQ/RJ WW RTTY contest. He stated to me that the rules had been rewritten but actually hav

Hi George, I have written Don, AA5AU a rather long e-mail on this topic but before I post it here on the reflector I need to review it. I will do so tomorrow and post. The quick answer to your questi
