Hi All In doing the CQWW SSB last weekend, I found I really miss my cordless 'phones. I wear hearing aids and the Heil boom headset just doesn't work all that well for me any more. The RS cordless 'p

I know it is getting to be a problem, but I wonder if it just newcomers that really don't understand the rules. If so, we should encourage them to get in, but learn the proper proceedures. Don't real

I like the 'NR' sent first. If the stations are really weak, like on 80, it kinda gives your ear something to tune in on before the number comes. Kinda gets the brain in sync with the ears. 73 Tom W7

I think there were more bad spots in this SS than I have seen in a long time. I sure felt sorry for the guys who's calls get busted and have to work a bunch of dupes because of bad spots. 73 Tom W7WH

So true. If someone busts my call, and I sent it a couple of times to correct them, and they just say TU QRZ, it gets deleted from my log unless I hear my call sent right. Most software does that aut

Hi Bob Probably not having that call in my log won't make as much difference as him not having my call in his log if he is a 'big gun'. I contest just for the fun, not to actually win anything. If a

I find the best use for the second radio is to keep the band map open, and when I see spots start to fill up, it is time to move to that band. I had the second radio set on 10 meters and saw a few sp

Huh?? I run 2 radios here and made 280 Q's in the CQWW CW test. I'm sure that there are a few op's using 1 radio that could beat that :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________

I think the only way to make this contest more even at this point in the cycle is give the stations in the PNW 10000 points for each contact. That would give me 10000 points so far as I have worked 1

Hi Kelly Well, yes and no. It is an advantage because a big gun station can't just sit on a frequency and run. When the little guy does make a contact, he is sure that he is going to make another one
