No! The CQ WW SSB contest is not next Saturday (and Sunday), but it is Saturday and Sunday Oct 30 and 31. (Actually the CQ Web site says Saturday and Sunday Oct 31-31, but they mean 30-31). So, it sh
It isn't clear that the SS check is always the year of first licensing of the station owner. Many may interpret it to be the year first licensed of the station operator. What is clear is that it must
I'd recommend CT, which is available free, for post contest log preparation. Jim is not quite correct when he says you must "type" in the date and time. With NA, my understanding is that you create a
Actually, if you tin the coax braid after you strip the outer jacket but before you trim it, then use a small copper tubing cutter to cut the braid, assembly and soldering PL-259's are easy. Just use
I have often tried a very well-known Q signal in this situation without often getting results. If, for example, a station is calling me so high that I can't copy him through the QRM of the next runne
The South East Contest Club and the Southeastern DX Club announce the annual Georgia QSO Party on the weekend of April 12-13. Rules may be found at gqp.contesting.com. If last year's results are not
This weekend, April 12 and 13, will be the weekend for the 2003 Georgia QSO Party. Complete information can be found at http://gqp.contesting.com. This includes last year's results, plaques offered,
Hello all: This will be my last general posting about this weekend's running of the Georgia QSO Party. We have had it in July for the past four years and have changed it to April in favor of (we hope
Scott, I recently set up SO2R on all 3 modes as your are now planning. Like you I have 2 identical radios (FT-1000MP) and each has its own linear. I have used both Dunestar and Array Solutions filter
If you will look at the CQ Magazine website, it gives a detailed explanation. What you do is, after your put in your regular category, you add a new line that reads: CATEGORY OVERLAY: TB-WIRES. I typ
I've lost the message, but somebody yesterday needed W4PA's current e-mail address. I find a message from him in March from w4pa@yahoo.com. Sorry for the bandwidth. 73, John, K4BAI.
Brett: I don't know what the answer was, but that happened in 2000. I don't remember what the other club was, but both the Monaco (3A2) society and another society used the same abbreviation. I was i
If he was really saying R2, there should be some way for the contest logging checking to delete anybody's claim for that multiplier from him, but not to penalize the guys he worked for logging what h
I also replied to DL6RAI's notice about WAE and the changed e-mail addresses with a question (since answered to my satisfaction from another source) and my e-mail also bounced. It seems that somethin
It seems to me that this might be the next most important thing for logcheckers to try to get right. I understand that this problem does not exist for all contests. If I understand correctly, the CQ

Here's a repeat from the Committe: For all you Salmon Runners sending log via email - just send us the ASCII log file (DAT from TR-LOG or ARL from CT) with the multipliers marked. Don't send Cabrillo
Hello all: Just to avoid any confusion, please disregard the message posted this afternoon to the cq-contest reflector (and also apparently to the ylcc reflector) about the WAE Phone contest being th
I think it is much better that this be delayed beyond the log submission deadline. I have always been willing to share my log with anyone who wanted it, but only after the log submission deadline. 73
