I'm in the process of buying a new computer and looking for suggestions
for a mult I/O card, with 3 LPT ports and 4 Comm ports. Ignoring the
question of interrupts, any suggestions?

Handicapping seems to work ONLY if ALL participants compete on the SAME
grounds with the SAME (or very similar) equipment. This is about the
exact opposite of contesting in ham radio. :-)

Paul, handicapping works in golf because all the golfers are playing on the
same course (give or take weather conditions over time). I don't think
you'll get many contesters in the Mid-West and West to agree that they're
playing the same "course" as those in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. I'll
let those from the Black Hole expand on this one.

The reflector is getting so quiet -- it must be that everyone is already
at Dayton.
I'm missing out this year. Would love to hear about any new products
announced at the convention that would be popular with contesters.
Last year I thought the new Heil boom mic. was the hit of the show.
So, all you lucky people who went to Dayton, how 'bout a little report
on your favorite new CONTEST-RELATED product? LED callsign badges
that glow in the dark don't count.

Handicaps in golf are only used in friendly games--not in serious
competition. Can you imagine a "30" winning the US Open anymore than you
can imagine a guy with a multiband vertical in the black hole region of the
US winning CQWW. There is no reason to level the playing field, other than
to give the guys(or gals...don't mean to be sexist) who don't have equal
skills, stations or locations and ability to win.
I happen to be one of those with a multiband vertical (working on zoning for
the tower) and still have fun with no chance of winning...and wouldn't want
to be handicapped into a win. Let's not turn ham radio contesting into a
sport where everybody can be equal regardless to committment to skills,
station and location.

This was a great issue of QST! Two contesting articles and the SS results.
I don't know about Chip keeping his ego in check... He kept intimating
that ANYONE could make 1300+ QSOs with puny antennas. Hah! It only
works this way if you operate from the West Indies (and especially the
hill top of NP4A).
Still, if it gets more newcomers into contesting, he can write anything
he wants.

Message-ID: <199404231531.KAA01229 at mixcom.mixcom.com>
Thanks to all that ordered the internet email badges. I have 31 orders at
this time. The badge guy says he's not going to start on them until Monday
morning, so if a few stragglers still want badges, I can stuff an additional
list in his mail slot Sunday night. That will be the FINAL deadline.
I have noticed three things since I made the original posting:
1. There are a LOT of netters out there who STILL don't include their
internet address in their messages or their signature lines. It's my
understanding that many of us out here do not receive headers containing
this information (I don't). I can't make you a badge if you don't send me
this information. There's still 3 or 4 people who sent me an order without
the address who haven't responded to my reply requesting this info.
2. Watch your case. I get postings containing the address twice - one with
upper case, one with lower case. There are some who mix cases. I don't
care, but I hate to be the one to make the decision on which to use. Most
use all lower case, but I don't think it matters that much.
3. Many postings have been made re: those who pay by the byte to receive
messages. I don't, but I still wonder why so many people copy my entire
message back to me. I know what I said. It's like a contest where some guy
gives your call six times and then quickly gives his once...
Thanks, and see you at Dayton.

Many have been asking me If I had one or two radios set up for SS Phone
1993. I only had ONE radio. For those who said that winning a
contest with one radio is a thing of that past, I say NOT yet. 1993
results show it can still be done for phone.
I am working on a two radio set-up for this years SS, and hope to have it
done soon. This should be a blast!!
