One thing I feel strongly about is the second of Bill's situations posted today: getting your club or group together and comparing logs and calls, making corrections and then sending the entry in. Ov

Hello all: Bill Fisher is right. I am in favor of the scoring change proposed by Jim Neiger. His example of 8P6J vs 9Y4 is exactly what I have faced in the Caribbean ever since I lost my opportunity

Hi Stefan: Thanks for the two QSOs last weekend in NAQP. Yes, DX stations count for QSO Points in ARRL FD. Some of us consider it a contest even though it is not "politically correct" to say so. Sinc

Today I had an opportunity to "discuss" the results of the last ARRL BOD meeting with my division director, and during the course of the conversation he directed me to a place where I could find the
Tom is, of course, correct in pointing out that my comments were poorly organized and failed to draw the distinction between the two different cost structures involved. There is a logical connection

As long as we are talking about contesters in WVA, how often do you think DX stations change the default (04) of W8AH and N8YYS and other 8 stations in WVA to the correctly sent zone of 05? I bet the
