Wow - that is sure an interesting story. Please QSP to Ron that he will get credit for this as a QRP QSO as long as I receive a QRP log from you. The scoring is totally automatic and does not depend
Many thanks to the 255 of you who have sent in your Stew Perry TBDC logs using the robot. This greatly reduces the work I have to do in order to produce the final scores. There is still another week
For those of you who missed the first couple of chapters, I tried a new antenna a few months ago - a 105 foot tower with a full sized 3 element 40 at the top of it (and a few other monobanders down t
It was great hearing all of the activity in the ARRL 160 contest. I ended up with about 270 QSOs with perhaps about six hours of effort. This is about the same QSO total I used to have with full time
Been working on getting the 160 meter antenna situation figured out before the WX gets too bad. I have decided on using my 105 foot tower that has a 3 element 40 on the top (and some other antennas o
Very interesting... and what you say makes sense. The article I am reading is in the 2nd edition of ON4UN's book - page 9-27. I can try the sampling loop and confirm that is all works out. Will repor

I would like to thank the 32 people who have sucessfully submitted their Stew Perry Logs using Cabrillo. This compares to about 85 logs received using the old method. I just downloaded these 32 logs
Actually heard EA3VY for about 15 minutes - but unable to make a QSO. First European heard this season here. The rain finally stopped and the power lines calmed down. See you in the Stew next weekend
N6WG asks: The determination of who is a QRP log will be based upon the submission of these logs. So, there is no need to send, or copy, /Q or /QRP during the contest. Instead, it will be necessary f
As you probably know, many contests are now requiring the Cabrillo format to be used for e-mailed logs. This includes all of the ARRL contests. Using Cabrillo allows us to use "robots" to scan your l

1. The results are coming together and should be published next week on the web. Since the CQ CONTEST magazine is no longer being printed, the results will not appear there. We are investigating if a
