I get a lot of uniques (serial no. 1) - especially where domestic contacts count - from a plethora of lonely hearts out there who pluck a woman's voice out of the fray and "stop by to give you a poin

Fully agreed. Even though I can't operate 160, I've been telling all my friends who have the real estate to get up some kind of 160m antenna. By any means possible. By hook or by crook. By skyhook. A

Hi Dave, I recognized that antenna right away, it's a Larson E. Rapp model from sometime in the early 1960s. Rapp wrote occasionally and suspiciously for the QST magazine for some years but QST seems

I liken the world of ham radio and ham radio contesting to the world of bridge. For most people involved, neither is an organized competition. It is people who sit around a kitchen table or in front

Chris, It is never too late. You can simply say, sorry we were wrong, we made the wrong assumptions and change the items Braco has mentioned for the rest of the qualification period. A good leader wo

Ash, Are you saying that WPX accepted and published your score, but WRTC chose to not accept it? Rudy N2WQ Sent using a tiny keyboard. Please excuse brevity, typos, or inappropriate autocorrect. ____

The way I look at this, other than the WRTC2018 event itself, WRTC does not assign points on its own. That is, they depend on other contest organizers, such as WPX, to assign points and determine if

Hello Jim, I prefer the "CT" look and feel of WT over that of N1MM+. Also use the Targets File feature for virtually every contest. Not sure that N1MM+ has that feature. WT support is excellent, espe

Just do what they do around here Peter - have your pal follow you around the bands and spot you. Unbeknownst to you of course. One LP station here was spotted 45 times during the test by the same loc

I have no problem with self spotting as long as those who do, compete (or are placed by the competition committee) in the 'assisted' category. I hope that there will always be a competitive class for

By whose definition is the cluster a "DX" cluster? It's just a spotting cluster to let you know who's on. Anyone. Anywhere. Right now. This frequency. 73, Ken, AB1J In a message dated 2015-10-28 4:08

I'm sorry to say that I won't be able to be active in SS this weekend. That leaves (I think) VE3CX and VE3RX for ONN. Wish I could have made it. Have fun guys. 73 RogerVE3ZI _________________________

I agree. All of the grousing about remote operating is beginning to sound what it was like when SSB was overtaking AM back in the 1950s! Geo... K1TN/4 (CK 61, first SS 1962) _________________________
