Let's see Bob. Where are the results posted? In the Contest section of the ARRL web site.
How are they listed? By category and total score. Who manages FD? Those who manage ARRL contests? Are there rules like a contest? Yes. Do groups compete against other groups? Yes. Is there more to FD than making QSO's? Yes, somebody told me there was while I was searching through the results database. Is saying "Please copy." OK? Not if you want to make a lot of contacts. Is FD a great, wonderful, fun way to learn about contesting? Yes! Are the words "Not a contest." spoken in jest? Yes, a large percentage of the time. Is it fun to win a category? Oh yeah! Is it fun to come in 4th overall? Oh baby it is! Is it great to have all Elecraft gear at FD? No, it's a necessity to do well if you have more than one rig. I have been (unwillingly) to the Dark Side and prefer the ability to have three rigs on the same band, two of them on SSB, and not experience interference until moving to within 10 kHz. Will I miss competing with a group of friends? I certainly will! Will I still do FD? Is there anything else to do the fourth weekend of June? Will many individuals do it differently than last year? I hope so! Follow your State's Department of Health orders and stay healthy. This pandemic is real. It is not a contest that anyone should take stupid, unsafe steps to play. The listings are sad and we are nowhere close to beating this thing! And please stop whining about the spirit of FD. We're in the middle of a pandemic and you're worried about people making too many contacts or operating differently. Stay within FD rules, get on-the-air somehow, and make as many contacts as you can. If really necessary, enjoy some good food and drink, but not in mass gatherings however your State/County/City defines them. Stay healthy! HamVention 2021 is around the corner. Hopefully, I'll have my K4 before then. 73, Bill, K8TE -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
