It's funny how, shortly after contest season each year, the nitpickers come out of the woodwork with critiques of the rules, offering suggestions for changes. Maybe we should give everyone their own

For the last 3-4 days, I've been trying to access contests.arrl.org and I get "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable." Anybody know what's up? Barry, W2UP ______________________________________________
For most of the US, it's uncomfortably hot on FD, not only this year, but almost every year. Why not move it to April or May, or even the same weekend as European FD? Barry W2UP _____________________
The best out there is make it yourself. It's a dipole! Since I moved to a condo and downsized, I have a multiband dipole on my balcony. One feedline (LMR240), half waves on 40, 20 and 10 (no room for
Looking for a recommendation for a 30A 12VDC switcher. No RFI is very important as my antenna is only about 15-20 ft away from the station. Tnx, Barry W2UP ___________________________________________

I like Sunday afternoon in SS. That's when I get on as fresh meat to get a few good rate hours. It's interesting how quickly some of the non-assisted ops find me :-) Barry W2UP ______________________
We don't need RF. Let's just contest online. Then we won't have horrible band condx like we did (at least in the west) this past weekend in WAE. Barry W2UP (/0) ______________________________________
Internet wasn't available when we started (though I was introduced to "it" in the mid-70s as Arpanet, while working in a research lab in college). TIme marches on. Given the fact I went from a modera
I will be arriving in Munich on 10 September, in the afternoon, and am, free for dinner than evening if any DL contesters in the area would like to meet. I will be staying in the Altstadt district an
John, I forwarded your email to the Grand Mesa Contester's of Colorado (GMCC) email list, who, for the record, is NOT the contest sponsor. I believe you got a direct response, but in case anyone else
