Thank you, Andy, for reminding us that disaster communications is one of the things which Amateur Radio is chartered "to do for a living". Contesting is all good fun, but like a motorist out for a S

The posted rules (which you quoted) do NOT allow WARC band use. Any use of WARC bands for contesting would be a really BAD idea on several levels. 73, de Hans, K0HB -- "Just a boy and his radio" --
We restarted the dormant Minnesota QSO Party just a few years ago, and did a lot of work to make sure we activate every county. Participation is building every year. But it takes work! Certainly some
Second the motion. Press on, Joe, and I wish your team all the good luck in the world. Ignore the "fault finders", sift through the civil suggestions, and have a good time. I'm not a big "QP" guy, bu
Please watch the band edge. At the moment VE5PV is working a nice run at 7125 LSB. W/K stations are out of band working LSB at that QRG. 73, de Hans, K0HB -- "Just a boy and his radio" -- Proud Membe
If I don't know his call, how can I possibly have worked him, let alone legally log him? 73, de Hans, K0HB But if you worked the guy - then you MUST log him. Otherwise the whole thing does not make a
The notion that S&Pers should wait a minute or more to determine your call is pure and simple arrogance. The S&P'ers time is every bit as valuable as that of a running station, and they should not pr

Charlie, I will gladly trade my QTH in Upper Zone Four, aka The Black Hole, for a spot with propagation like you enjoy in any of the 4 zones that you mention. 73, de Hans, K0HB -- "Just a boy and his
I'd second the motion on the Ameritron AL-1200. It provides full legal output with 100W input and is much more forgiving than the AL-1500. Tunes up quick and easily, and after about 15 years of conte
Will these entrants compete in the same category as "Just a boy and his radio"? 73, de Hans, K0HB The intent of the current rule is that multi-channel band decoders , such as CW Skimmer, are allowed
