"...but all QSO lines contain DL9LR as his call." I see two issues here. First, I thought each QSO: line was supposed to represent the actual contest exchange that took place at the time, band, and m
Warren, Where is it written that correcting errors in submitted logs is the contest sponsor responsibility? The logs in question were submitted and contained errors. Operator errors. Not contest spon
Ah ha... I can use this as an opportunity to say "Me too!" I'm there too. Have no fear about WAS via LoTW... I've worked all 50 states and received confirmations via LoTW on 160m ~ 20m. There's a hol

Rowland, IMO, what you describe is "part of the game" or "the penalty everyone suffers" when conditions are less than ideal. And I agree with you, the next static crash or fade seems to be timed perf
You bring up a good observation... I have used Morse Runner to tune up my skills before the fall contest season kicks off. It's good practice but unfortunately doesn't recreate the actual band experi
This is a good question Ulli, I don't have 40m only statistics. But this is my overall impression from 2008 CQWW RTTY. During the contest the idea "where is northern Europe?" passed through my mind.
Good point Henk! I forgot about that so it makes perfect sense. Then my "feeling" was more accurate than I realized! 73 de Bob - KØRC in MN _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest

Rick, Those are good questions and I'm sure you'll get a variety of answers. Here's mine... In most CW contests I find fellows operate around 27 ~ 29 wpm, a few faster in the 31 ~ 33 wpm range. On th
Jim K8MR said: "(I can't comment on the need [for typing skill] in RTTY contests)." I do a lot of RTTY contesting. It is possible to operate an entire contest "pointing and clicking" with a mouse. It
Now that the two 2208 SS contests are in the bag, you may want to download this updated SS log analyzer: http://chudek.aberon.net/index.cgi?mode=album&album=/Files-Spreadsheets/Contest%20Log%20Analyz
There's a new version posted this evening that corrects a few defects revealed when processing some large logs. You can now import any SS log that contains up to 2,000 QSOs and compare it with anothe
Andy, When it becomes apparent you've been spotted wrong, besides laying on the QSO B4 macro is there the option of simply QSYing 20 KHz and begin running there? What are the trade-offs? 73 de Bob -
Contesters, I just put on the finishing touches and uploaded the new Contest Log Analyzer for the upcoming ARRL 160m Contest this weekend. This Excel workbook will accept your 2007 log and is ready t

Kelly, I hope there was a typo in your exchange example. Take out K1TTT's callsign and insert mine in it's place. I'll be running QRP as well. Oh, and this contact will be on 160m. With my confidence
Contesters, I uploaded Version 1.0.1 of the 160m Log Analyzer to my website. This update corrects a defect in the charts on the Reports page where only the first 30 hours were graphed instead of the
Well there you have it... so that means I can get my competitor one block to the south of my QTH, running 1 KW on 40m while I'm chasing Q's on 20m, sited for harmful interference. I can't wait to mak
