Got #410 in July, 2005, as N5UWY/9. All cards. Got #906 a few weeks back (issued 2011-03-01) as N5UWY. All LOTW. Didn't think it was that hard, just took a while to collect the LOTW "QSLs". In fact,

Submitted 2011-02-08, paper issued 2011-03-01 and received a week or so later. Go to "Awards", select the WAS "account" you used to make the application, then click "Application History". What does t
I didn't think I'd like the new design for the WAS certificate, but I do. Sadly, they use the same old crappy fonts to add the new information. If HQ was smart, and I don't think that will happen unt
Agreed. I believe I will begin sending non-59/599 reports next contest. My log will say "589" but will the other guys? See what the sponsors do about that! If they don't match, will they be penalized
Hard to tell where anyone was, but I did notice that there were a number of stations signing "portable" because they don't live in their "home" district. Hope they've all applied for LoTW certs for t
We RTTY ops are the smartest and best-looking. Duh. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _______________________________________________ RTTY mailing list RTTY@contesting.com ht
Posted these messages regarding accurate time on your station PC to a couple lists over the last few years. W3HCF's Network Time Protocol remains -- after some 30 years -- the gold standard of networ
I like RTTY contests and I like SSB contests - don't make me choose! I'm with Ed here, let's try it stand-alone and see how that works out. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train!
Chen mentioned that most USB-based "sound cards" are better than their PCI predecessors and that, unless you go ultra cheap, they are all pretty good. Anyone have a list? What I'm really looking for
I understand how to buy stuff, what I'm really looking for is a site that lists all kinds of components (CPU+motherboards, power supplies, disks, etc) that are known by hams to be quiet in a radio ro
AFAIK, my current, 7 year old LCD isn't noisy (built-in chokes on the VGA cable). I don't anticipate replacing the display, though I'm sure it will go and I'll switch to DVI or DP. But not yet Class
Not exactly what I meant, but it's close enough! Didn't think about the Flex guys. Probably ought to skim their fora as well since they would be more interested in RFI-proof PCs than most folks. Than
"The Board accepted a recommendation to change the name of the RTTY DXCC Award to Digital DXCC." Guess I need to get that application in TONIGHT before they change them! -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaw
Hybrid application submitted around 0400 UTC today. Still says "RTTY" and hope my certificate says same. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! ___________________________________
And if you work 100 countries using RTTY, you get RTTY DXCC. For now ... Just needed to bring it back on-topic. :-D -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! ________________________
MMTTY will do that. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! _______________________________________________ RTTY mailing list RTTY@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailma
I would prefer to keep the RTTY award ... but .... to add another mode award (i.e. one for Digital, one for RTTY) will dilute the DXCC "brand". Some will say "continue to dilute" given that the WARC
First, LOTW is not DXCC. LOTW is just a way to collect credits to apply to various ARRL awards (no one else, even IARU, will us it and that's a shame though understandable). I don't think *more* awar
There is no 20-m SSB DXCC award. You can get a Phone DXCC and a 20-m DXCC but not a band-mode DXCC. -- Peter Laws | N5UWY | plaws plaws net | Travel by Train! ________________________________________
