Interesting... I was only running 12W out (Elecraft K2), but I found the bulk on my Q's (121) on 40M, while one hour spent on 20M and 80M each only yielded 53 and 50 Q's respectively. Next Sprint, I
Maybe I'm missing something here, but there were a BUNCH of JA's sending "50" for their power... any chance the station referenced was merely running his "50" and "K" together a bit... e.g. TU 5NN 50
Anyone know Pete Grillo, W0RTT's e-mail address? I just received a virus-infected e-mail from him (as I suspect others did as well). I'd like to let him know he's been 'touched'. ___________ Pete: If

Y'know, you'd think I'd remember this, but EVERY darn year I find myself questioning whether there's a 10-minute rule for Single Op in the SS. I've read thru the ARRL's General Contest Rules and thos
