Re correcting busted calls in the contest log: The purists may disagree,
but I say fix the call. If you made the contact, and you know who you
worked, then make sure your log is correct. This is like proofreading a
term paper before turning it in, or correcting typo's. If you don't both
you and the other guy could be hurt. Get the best grade you can. Did you
work the guy or not? If you are in his log, and you show the contact in
your log you deserve credit for it. I don't think it is right to turn in
a log without checking for those kinds of mistakes.

There is no mention here of how/what to do about the $30 fee.
Wonder how that is to be collected on the web?

Gee:
Guess my tape recordings are suspect too.
How about those callsign master databases or that check partial function you
accidentally invoke during the August NAQP CW when you are trying to hear
that WD8 on 160?
Doesn't NA have a callsign compare utility that is used to look for similar
calls? What other reason would there be for such a utility than to look for
busted calls?
I am waiting for the new logging software that examines the call you type in
and flags you that it is busted prior to completing the QSO!

Oh phooey, here I thought it could all be done from the shack;
just type in the info, enter your CC # , and press submit,
Oh well, back to the paper form.
I checked with the US post office here in Lihe; the lady said
if I use US Express Mail on Friday, the Postal Service would
guarantee delivery to the specified POBox(es) in Pittsburgh
on Sunday; two days, absolute, Sundays included. Someone
posted that the FCC/Mellon Bank has rented 88 boxes at
the site in Pittsb.!! Expeting a few bags this coming weekend it
seems.

Hi Jack (don't say that in an airport!)
The advertised spec which Belden uses is really what they guarantee.
Many times a cable can be less lossy than advertised. On the other hand, if
a 100' piece of Belden 9913 measured 1.4 dB (allowing for connectors) of
loss it would need to be replaced under warranty.
The best way to test coax is to send measured power in at a known rate to a
termination. Measure the Power In (PI),in watts, then measure the Power Out
(PO),in watts, at the other end. (Use the same meter) Calculate the cable
loss with the formula dB = 10(log PO/PI). Record this value as a reference
so that some day when the cable is down and about to go up again you can see
if the cable is still as good as when you bought it. (allow .1 dB for the
connectors at each end or .2 dB total).
