I completely agree with Steve. I also think it stifles the very creative spirit of FD itself. FD has always been a place where a small group of us gets together to try out new/different/crazy ideas t
If it doesn't matter, why in the world would the rule be put in place? Somebody went to a lot of effort to insert the rule without CAC review and then refine the rule further this year. It appears to
HL Contesters, I have a last minute business trip to Korea and should have time to visit with any local HL contesters while I am in Geoje/Busan area visiting DSME shipyard. My stay is September 2 and
I have a short business trip to Tokyo (and Yokohama) from September 1 to September 4 and would be interested in meeting any JA contesters or 160M enthusiasts for an eyeball QSO during my stay. If eit
Mike, You've already achieved 20 db over most of us to the south of you by being in VE9 land but if you want a better location and are unable to erect even a 40' tower for a beam, I vote for the 600'
I'm getting old or senile but I had to laugh just now when I hit ALT-W thinking it would clear a URL address I was entering into my browser. Maybe somebody has already collected these and I'm late to
Jim, A couple of years ago, someone put an idiotic rule into FD which says no "octopus" can be used at FD. This had to be a politically motivated rule which kills some aspects of innovation at FD (wh
Frank, It is very interesting that you didnt have any issues with the meat of my statement to Jim which is that the rule is idiotic in that it stifles innovation and is badly written. You even give t
Ed, Great point as to why have the rule at all! Another reason NOT to have the rule is because the rule, as written, actually outlaws a manual coax switch and hand signals coordinating an operation t
Charly, How bad is your current inter-rig QRM without filters? Your antenna location and direction may have more influence than a new filter. I'd borrow a filter (or set of filters) first and run som
Terry, It seems to me that WRTC competitors really wouldn't care so much about the "award" in any particular contest; they simply want the placement ranking to validate WRTC credits. Rule C clearly s
I understood that the deadline missed was the one for awards and not the deadline for contest entry. If my understanding of two different deadlines is wrong, I can peacefully crawl back into my hole.
Terry, I should have researched this before my past post. In the RDX, the two different deadlines are shown here in the rules: 12. Log Submission Terms 12.1 Logs must be submitted to the contest spon
I've had the Elecraft K3/0 remote here at my home running experimentally over my local network for some time now but have not gone further with remote station installation (about 60 miles away) since
Looking at the YouTube video of Dan at ZF1A is truly amazing especially when the camera pans to the 400+ rate indicator. Does anybody know if he switches his audio between rigs or is he hearing both
Charlie, Why would you send your call twice with no breaks to see if he got your call? Bob K5WA 73, Charly>>> _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contes
If they get 0ZCW on your first call, youve started the contact and dont need to send your call again until it is time to make the exchange where you correct the call. I really doubt it is a matter of

Ed, You are about to discover that you will be dumped on, like I was last year for asking the same question, by the folks who wrote this rule. Get your flak jacket firmly zipped. ;-) This antiquated
Joe, The qualification criteria and standings are meticulously laid out on the WRTC2018 website and were available for comment for at least the last 2 ˝years. http://wrtc2018.de/index.php/en/competit
