Bo - I see about 15 traces on 40, and you are loud. Try calling CQ and see if anyone else responds. Steve W3HF

Chuck - Although we made a rules change this year, the 2020 rules are almost identical to the ones from 2001 through 2018. The only change is the addition that you can work non-members. So unless that

Jerry - It's not Lee's fault--he just copied the ARRL web page at: http://www.arrl.org/regulatory-advocacy That still says "Official Observer Program" as of 2320z today. But the link to the OO program

Jerry's right--all QSOs (not just members) count for points in the TDW. But for LONP-hunting, sometimes it's useful to have unworked members "pop out" at you on the waterfall. So I hope someone can co

There are some legitimate reasons for that that don't bother me: - Getting the call while in the area but then later moving. (I don't want to give up W3HF if I move after retirement.) - Someone reclai

I'm also in a similar situation--a few states with only a small number of grids. To wit: WA: the infamous CN98 ME: FN56, FN65 MN: EN28, EN38 NE: DN82, DN92 OK: DM86, DM96 Then three each in UT, WY, ID

Jerry - Watch out. Some members have negative member numbers, so your total is decreased when you work them. Steve W3HF (sorry, this message is three days late)

I have no proof, but I'm guessing that someone in Larry's family is replying to incoming emails on his email account with the bad news. I've done some searching, but there's nothing that new in the lo
