Will this help?
If a DXpedition station gave out serial numbers, incrementing for
each QSO (like some contests ), would that retard pirates? A pirate

With the recent news of the military coup in Thailand, here's hoping
our fellow hams in HS-land are safe and that we'll continue to hear
them on the air. Given the current situation, one has to wonder
whether the operation of amateur radio equipment will continue to be

I'm actually surprised at my own numbers. As of tonight my LoTW hit rate

Hi Rod,
What you consider a good logger others would disagree, and it depends

Hi all,
Just dropping a note to maybe head off a little confusion in ARRL-SSB

tonight as my own stateside call, from my home QTH in New Jersey.
My XYL and I will be flying to C6 for vacation during the day
