That's how I do it. I QSL every card 100%. Many ops contact us in contests specifically for the card. I can't possibly ignore that basic fact, no matter what the work load. At ~20,000 QSOs per year,

I just realized that the CQ 160 CW Contest marks the end of my first decade of contesting. The first log I ever submitted was for the 1994 CQWW 160 Meter CW contest. My call at the time was WR3O. I w

My vote is for the CALLSIGN at the END of a CQ, with NOTHING after that. By the time I've actually tuned into your signal, I'm fairly sure that you are calling CQ contest; all I need is your call. If

Were they loud? If so, my guess is that they thought you were clicking them, and then guessed it must have been an MP since the unmodified ones can click badly. I know -- I've modified a few MP's for

I confess, I was the lid who pulled this stunt. At least it got a good laugh from the K4JNY crew. My face probably looked like a 3-500Z at 1kW RTTY. Thanks for giving us the QSO OM. It had been a tou

I had six pots burn up before I found an alternative. The burn was happening at one end of the pot, and not on the wiper. Same place every time. I never could figure out what was causing the problem.

This happened to me several times. My guess is that someone moved a station to within a hundred hertz of me without listening first to see if the frequency was busy. A blind move, if you will. -Kirk

I can't help but wonder if an unusual name is a hinderance to the NAQP score, particularly in the SSB contest. In the CW contest, it's not as much of an issue I suspect because 1) the name is spelled
