This is already happening. You can operate from Hawaii while sitting in W7. W4AN was operated from W7 in a Dx contest. You can even "rent" a station such as W7DXX (in Boston) altho its restricted to
I can give WT4I users and contest directors the contact info. The software is sold by Writelog and is inexpensive. Its the best cabrillo converter. The software can build and maintain a great call si
Having just finished going through the 1300+ CQ 160 CW logs I can say that NIL's are a real problem. This is the first year I had enough logs in one format (cabrillo) to have a decent cross checker.
Shelby Summerville is right on. In trying to check the CQ 160 Contest I have found 42 CW and 23 SSB logs that are OK in the summary but have improper info in the QSO line. This messes up my NIL progr
Remedmber that most of the world do not have any operating privileges except 1810 to 1850 where they must operate ALL MODES. The list of operating privileges is not correct. For example PY only has 1
CT or TR seem to fit the bill. I did have writelog running on a 166MMX PC with W95 Ver 2. I suggest W98 if possible as many ISPs and Norton still support 89 but have dropped W 95 Dave K4JRB _________
I use the Nel-Tech DVK-100 and a pair of the older MFJ's. I have amidon beads on both MFJ's and shielded leads on the Nel-tech and don't seem to have any problems. The problem with using sound cards
You forgot the 'fun' part Bill. The each contest then was 2 full weekends long. SSCW 96 hours long...WOW...(the good old days) Partially right. Before the mid 60's, the ARRL SS was two weekends with
In reading the December QST silent key listings I find Melvin Wardell, K4PJ listed. Mel was a major competitor from both EPA (W3DGM) and TN (K4LPW and later K4PJ). I was working on my novice in 1956
I agree with AH3C if someone (M/O or SO2R) leaves his run frequency open for about 30 seconds then its open! I have seen a frequency stay open for over a minute in the CQ 160 contests. The smart op w

When you look back at such things as quotas (for example you could only work 5 DL's) and the long hours of the SS and ARRL DX Contests these were all aimed at leveling the ground against the few supe

K3BU has a web page with the all time high scores. These have not been validated but I told him that going back to 1081 was sufficient. I see no reason to have new high scores based on changing the h

I have accessed the cty file, Buckmaster, and the CIS Directory but still have no info on where RN0CT is located. Is this just Russia or is this UA9/0? He was very loud on 40 SSB during the ARRL DX S

I ran my FT 920 into my 40 meter beam and worked all over in the ARRL June VHF party. I borrowed my MFJ DVK as I found the DVK in the 920 is not convenient to use. I have a Nel Tech DVK 100 that I ha
