This brought up something I found a little interesting this year. Using a year-old master.dta file (not the one that K8CC et al have built from scratch), I found it of relatively little use in tellin
In at least one case, P40W sent me 5NNNNN, and when I said "pwr 999?" he fixed it. I dunno what this proves, except that shorter ain't necessarily clearer. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the World HF Contes
I have just updated the search function for the World HF Contest Station Database so that you can ask for a list of stations using any given contest logging software package. The database can also be
This is an update and elaboration on information previously provided by AD1C. I hope it's useful. $3.20 will send a pound of QSLs by surface mail to most countries in Europe. The rate to Japan is $4.
I'be been surprised by how little (like no) comment there has been on the changes to the club competition rules. Most of them are all to the good, but I'm perplexed by the change in the club area. Th
This is a non-issue with Cabrillo, since mults are not counted, and I think we can count on the log checkers to know who and where TO4T is. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the World HF Contest Station Databa
Well, I'm fairly embarrassed. I wrote my preceding message based on information I looked up on the USPS web site last week. When I actually went into the post office today, I found out that all the r
I think this is pretty much the design standard, at least for small self-contained UPSes. There are some amazing deals out there from time to time -- I got a new 300 VA APC UPS for $10 from Staples a

I believe the ARRL 10 Meter test gets the most entries of any ARRL contest, but that's almost over for this decade because of the impending decline of the sunspot cycle. I like the IARU because it is
I notice that on CW when I start hearing a lot of guys calling me offset in one direction or the other, it is usually because the QRM is heavier on the other side. I usually operate LSB CW, which mea
This is really over-done. All my 77,000 QSOs are up on LOTW. Every couple of months I do a new upload. Simple as it can be. How many of you made this "too tough" argument to forestall converting from
I have only been helping with user support in N1MM Logger for about a year now, but this is the first time that I have seen this complaint about the installation routine (which was written by Microso
Eric's point is absolute nonsense -- anyone who doubts it should have to sample the user support questions that a month brings. People aren't NOT reporting problems, they aren't having problems that

DC is already a mult in the ARRL 10M Contest. So the can of worms is already out of the bottle (just to mix a metaphor). I'm surprised at the knee-jerk reactions to Eric's suggestion. 73, Pete N4ZR _
[tongue-in-cheek flag set] If we're really going to be consistent about this thing, which so many people seem to want, the answer to me seems perfectly simple -- in any contest where US states are th
I think Scott is absolutely on the money here. Aside from history (and kudos to the Dayton people for keeping this going so long), the only real strength of the Dayton venue is a relatively central l
