You wrote nothing of amateur radio contests, Brian. I subscribe to CQ though they are not the only sponsor of amateur radio contests. Do you know something about amateur radio contesting? Is your contest knowledge equal to your knowledge of DXing? Dave K8MN David, I know enough to not use a cellular telephone in an amateur radio contest. Wherever did you get that idea? |
