Isn't that exactly what the "Classic Overlay" in the CQ contests is about? I think that is a great solution to this real world situation. Whether you are 85 and need it or 50 and need/want it, it's a

I have stopped sending QSLs "en masse" to the Bureau about 5 years ago. I have noticed the inbound has dropped by 90% in the last couple of years. I do still send a small number to people who direct

Guys, I have nothing to add on the valid questions being asked about the most recent and past KO1A (IZ3EYZ) operations. However, as someone noted, I was very sick for this contest and only put in 32

What I found out last year is that while the ARRL decided it was okay to self spot, they never coordinated with the telnet clusters that this would be okay. So while it may be in the rules to self sp

I wish it were the case the people were verifying spots but if that were the case, I would have to feel like I was the only one saying "what's your call?' or CL?? many times as I hear a dozen station

Hello Craig. An interesting project. But I question the value vs the on line scoring currently available. Take CQ WW for example. Lets say you have 3000 Qs. How many of those Qs are going to be avail

Actually, of the 20 Top 10 HP Worldwide scores in CQ WW SSB - only 50% were on the online scoreboard. 70% (7) of the assisted and 30% (3) of the unassisted. I think it's a personal preference thing a

As I understand it, one of the goals of the on line scoreboard is to "promote contesting". If its private, then it isn't promoting. If its public, then, like all publicly available information, you c

I never said I am trying to promote contesting. However, it has been one of the goals of the on line scoreboard developers. Ed N1UR Ed, How are you helping to promote contesting if you don't tie into

I am starting to get a lot email QSLs after contests (probably 20 in the last few days after the ARRL DX SSB contest). Does anyone know what the point is other than a digital equivalent of the tradit
