Anyone know when the final 2002 RDXC scores will be out? Checked the site and saw the submitted scores, but not the final ones. Looks like I did pretty good (SOMB-SSB) and was #2 in the US <grin>. Lo
Well, I have had good luck in the past with getting excellent advice here, so I thought I would put this one out... I am setting up my "contest station" which will be for "semi-serious" contesting. I
I have a question that I am sure that many of you veteran contest ops can answer to a "beginner". What are the top 10 most "popular" contests to operate in. In checking the contest calendars, there a
Hmmm, well I was way bored at work :-) so I decided to do the same. This is what I found: DX-SUMMIT Spot Database: WB0WAO-@ 28388.1 UA3AGW ARRL vy loud 1359 03 Mar 2002 WB0WAO 14239.0 YO4RUI YO0400 1
Thanks all for the info on the most "popular" 'tests. And TNX to Igor, UA9CDC, for the info on the RDXC 'test. Had a great time and will do it again next year!! Now my NEXT question is about logging
Eric, This is a WinXP dialog box and not unique to N1MM. The reason that the dialog boxes keep coming up is that N1MM is written with MS Visual Basic 6.0, which is a "legacy" programming application

As a "little pistol" I know that there is no way that I would ever be in the top 10 of any major DX contest - I don't have the physical room for an antenna farm the size of a VOA facility, I don't ha
Gang, I was lucky enough to acquire a couple of dual serial boards that I "thought" would fit one of my machines, but alas they don't! So, I have them available for (preferably) trade. AFAIK, they ar
In a similar vein to the current discussion about the use and abuse of the spotting systems, I pose the following question....... To begin with, I make no value judgment about using a spotting networ
I think it IS the next step in the "evolution" of contesting - but would a station that is running such software and NOT receiving spots be in the Assisted or Unassisted class? <sorry, just HAD to pu
I too was saddened when they dropped the line scores from QST - I can remember the first time I ever saw my call in print in the results from the September 1977 VHF QSO Party 'test (imagine my shock
Now that LoTW is up and running, I have a question for the "big guns" as well as the rest of us <grin>... Will you be uploading your contest logs to LoTW in addition to the regular contest robot? Mys
I saw the fee schedule and IMHO, it isn't really out of line. I figure that 90%+ of the participants will be US stations so more than likely the major use of credits will be for WAS/VUCC rather than
I too applaud Dave for bringing this out into the open (again). While not a big gun like Dave and some of the others on here, I try to "play by the rules" and have NEVER used the cluster unless I was
You really don't know what the "real" class of the station was in the Unlimited category - their power level could be A, B or Q! For instance, I plan on running SS Phone with the K2 and using the clu
One of the down sides is not seeing you call in print in QST, but I can live with that. I must say that I am impressed with the content on the ARRL website. Especially the LCR's - showed me where I n
Thanx to all who emailed me direct and on the list as well about my question about headset mic vs. boom mic. Almost without exception it was suggested that I go with the headset. Lots of good advice
I would love to see a basic system where every 5 - 10 minutes, the 'test software would send the participants call, entry class, # Q's (all bands), # Multi's (all bands) and raw score to a central se
As another poster stated, the main reason is that there is NO HF Grid based award - other than the new CQ-DX Field Award (and that only gives credit for the Field, not the Grids). That is a major ove
