CQ Magazine/KD4HXT e-mail?

[HENRYPOL at aol.com]

Does anyone know how to contact KD4HXT (fellow CONTESTer) via e-mail?  Also,
does CQ have an e-mail address?
Is there an up-to-date directory available somewhere (WWW maybe?) that list
everyone's Internet e-mail address regardless of what on-line service (AOL,
Compuserve, Interpath, etc.) they use?

73,

Which is why we'll be operating VE7ZZZ during WPX :-)  I figure using
VE7 in last years WPX boosted our score by a good 10%. (Don't tell the
guys in Vancouver that we're doing this, though. We're getting worried
they might catch on :-)

Some of you are still missing the point.   Susan and her spouse
were both operating ARRL-CW this weekend on different bands.

While it is often true, it's not always that one person does the
contest, while the other one is reduced to feeding him or her.
I've no idea how Susan and Richard are fed during contests...

I'd like to go further. You have to have operated the international
contests from KH6 to really appreciate Nose. It is not the easiest
place, as not a normal direction for DX-ERS beams, etc. I watched
Nose during the 50s when he was at his best -- AWESOME-- a term too
often used these days, but it fit Nose. He'll be remebered by all.

Agreed......But every contest, every year is different.  You have got to "roll
with the punches".  Once the new sunspot cycle starts warming up, this is going
to be critical.  Let me give you an example from the 1988 time frame....

During the bottom of the last sunspot cycle, some of my friends had come to
accept 20 meters as "the daytime band" - just like it was last weekend.  CQWW
1988 came along.  20 meters opened well before sunrise to Europe and over the
pole.  My friends were seduced by the lure of working UN7's, VU, HZ, UA9, lots
of EU from 1300Z-1600Z at 50 QSO's per hour.  Compared to condx the previous
year, 20 meters was fantastic.  However, they made a rookie mistake - they
didn't go to 10 and 15 meters until after 1600Z.  They used their 1987 results
to plan their 1988 strategy.

What amazed me was that these same friends repeated their mistakes in 1993.
 They still operated like it was 1990 - missing the 15 and 20 meter EU openings
by working African and Carribbean stations on 10 meters !

     Agreed Steve, you'd want to do this over an entire 11-year cycle--to 
build your personal "database" for all (well, most) conditions. I'll assume 
that is what top guns do--good point!   73, Glenn, KB1GW
