I think it is easier getting top secret clearance than access to LOTW. It has to be the more user unfriendly system around and I am an IT guy. I am all for eliminating as much cheating as possible bu
Heil purchased this line from Amcom. I recently bought an Amcom Clear Speech speaker unit at the Orlando Hamfest and would like to get more info/buy another unit but cannot find a web site. The links
According to their website they only run the net from 12pm to 10pm. So if you are going to have an emergency then you better plan it for those hours other wise you are SOL. If there is a need the FCC
It seems to me that people are relying on "cheap" ham radios for emergency communications.....If they can afford an expensive boat why in the world would you skimp on your emergency communications eq

I was the operator of NA7XX. A couple of times I forgot to click on the running box in N1MM so I ended up spotting a number of stations that I was running by accident. Those would show as them as the
My bad! Those runs were spotted because I forgot to check the running box and having the spot all S&P contacts option enabled. I was using version 4.0197 of N1MM. This was my first contest using N1MM
I was hooked up to my own node all weekend long, w0mu.net. I just did a sh/dx na7xx on the w0mu.net node and received a completely different list of spots. Dave's spots are listed below the spots fro

I am curious why the clusters do not require any kind of real verification of who they let on their systems. Web or otherwise. Mike W0MU --Original Message-- From: cq-contest-bounces@contesting.com [
Let's not mix apples and oranges here. The issue of self spotting is related to contests not general operating. Participants claiming to be unassisted yet they get spotted repeatedly by bogus calls a
Mark, You might be right on that point. I would have seriously wonder about sending spots but not receiving them. I guess it would be no different than a guy claiming to be unassisted while all along

I have to disagree. Spotting helps. I was just playing around in the WW test and it was fun just to click on spots and go work people. Would I have worked them anyway? Maybe. Many of the Carib statio
It would be interesting to correlate the spots with actually contest-pedition logs to see if indeed there was a spike in the rate. I have no issues with cheerleading as long as it is not done by thos
I believe you can use the year of the station owners license or the operator(s). Who cares as long as you copy what they sent. Mike W0MU Sweepstakes rule: 4.4. Check (the last two digits of the year

And what do Muti-ops do? Change their check each time the operator changes? Mike W0MU It isn't clear that the SS check is always the year of first licensing of the station owner. Many may interpret i
I just completed my first SO2R contest and I can say that It could be improved. The second station with low power is not fun. I got trounced and trounced. It might be fine for finding mults and movin
