See K4BAI's interesting story of our adventure to the coast of GA for the IOTA contest. Just some observations on my part .. Why is there so little activity in this contest from NA ??? The EU station
I have a theory of what the problem is with CQWW... Go to http://www.cqww.com/members.html to see who is on the CQWW contest committee. Many of the members are familiar contest calls of active contes
I am amazed that hams can go out and buy one of the new $10K rigs, put up several towers, and then not spend money for something like CQ Magazine. As far as Dx stations, I heard a UA4 with a Yaesu FT
Please give me a break !!! To suggest we not operate a contest because we don't like the rules and just live with them the way they are is absurd. To suggest this is more childish then the ongoing di
You only get the detail scores from ARRL if you are a paid up member and from the web page. At least CQ publishes all the scores for all their contests in the Magazine. == Not totally true... It's tr
Remember years ago when the ARRL DX had the low band (160/80/40) and high band (20/15/10) categories ???? It would be neat to see those categories make a comeback. Doing a single band effort can be f

Check the regional transportation webpage for Dayton - RTA at http://www.mvrta.org/ . They have a couple routes from near the Salem Mall (2075 Shiloh Springs Road, Trotwood) to downtown. One of them
Anyone have an extra room at the Crowne Plaza they need to unload?? I am staying at the Doubletree, a couple blocks away, and would like to switch if a room became available. We need a room with two
Anyone cancelling their Dayton plans and have a room at the Crowne Plaza they are trying to get rid of ??? I am looking for a double...... Thanks, Jeff KU8E __________________________________________
Eric has a valid argument for adding DC. Most of the ARRL contests group the VE1 provinces/territories (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI) into one multiplier - MAR That is not done in NAQP.... they ar
I wonder if anyone has ever thought of using the Dayton Convention Center, which is right across the street from the Crowne Plaza Hotel for contest/DX related activities. See http://www.daytonconvent
There are many thing to be annoyed with at Dayton but lack of parking has been my pet peeve for two decades! == If I remember right this was the weekend that the idea for the NCJ NAQP contest was put
Chip... I doubt it very much the facilities at Hara would ever be updated. You can compare Hara to that old run down arena that just about every big city has. It's the place where the heavy metal con
No one down this way is forming teams for the SSB Sprint. I am available if someone needs another person on their team. I will be SOLP and SO2R and am usually good for about 250 QSO's on SSB.... Jeff

I couldn't help but notice there is another RTTY contest - CQ WW RTTY WPX Contest (0000Z, Feb 12 to 2400Z, Feb 13 ) scheduled next weekend. The NA CW Sprint, which is a very popular contest in the US
Since the start of 2005 there has been a RTTY contest just about every weekend, with more to come in the following weeks. Are you guys going to just claim every weekend for yourselves. My post was in
Looking for a Rent-A-QTH in the Caribbean for CQWW DX CW in November. Anyone have any tips ? I have already tried most of the usual ones that are advertised... Thanks. Jeff KU8E _____________________
