I guess the arrl would have to enter the log into their log-checking program and adjust the entrant's score. I would propose that the STATE/PROVINCE be used for US/VE entrants rather than grid square
I tried it. For me it was ineffective and distracting. Try bridging the left and right headphone leads with a resistor or pot, about 180 ohms. When your switch is in the al/br position, you will hear

The NCJ arrived yesterday and I see that The cw and ssb Sprint results both include the number of band changes for the top 10 stations. Actually, the column headings are screwed up in both top 10 box
Don't forget the recommended order for exchanges in the Sprint this weekend. This is not in the rules, and it is not mandatory, but it makes the contest more fun. If you do not follow the convention,
I put the left radio in the left earphone, the right radio in the right earphone, and bridge the left and right channel with a resistor of about 100 ohms. The resistor was picked experimentally such

Hi Fred, Nice to see you at Dayton. The best article I have seen on stubs was published in the NCJ, Volume 12, Number 3, Page 18. If you need a copy, let me know. For maximum flexibility, the station
