Last weekend I was invited to speak at the Contest Universtity in Friedrichshafen, Germany. This year I tried to visualize a rather abstract topic, the influence of technologies on the art of contesting.
Mainly two topics are discussed: Information Management and Software Defined Radios.

The Contest Community has voted. Almost 500 contesters particpated in the survey on ARRL’s recent decisions. As promised, I’m providing the results one day after the survey’s end for further discussion. Some of the answers are very clear, other’s should be refined. However here are the results without any interpretation or censorship. Take them, build your opinion and share your thoughts with us!
Yesterday I received an overwhelming amount of replies on my personal opinion about ARRL’s IARU Contest decisions. Fellow contester agreed, disagreed and expressed their own opinions. The amount of replies is a proof that our contest community takes this discussion serious. However, it is unclear if these personal opinions are representative for our whole contest community. Now, I would like to take this Question on another level. I just created an Online-Survey / Poll. It takes less than two minutes to answer all Questions! Please participate and spread the word! Your vote counts!
The Survey can be accessed through this link:

The Survey will be online for three days until Tuesday, 15th of June 2010 – 23:59 UTC. I will publish the results the day after on Wednesday 16th of June.

As already mentioned in on of my previous posts, the Potomac Valley Radio Club (PVRC) is hosting very interesting Webinars with high profile speakers. Since not everybody is fully familiar with the technology / usage of “Webinars”, I compiled a 10 Minute explanation / introduction into the marvelous world of Webinars!
Der Potomac Valley Contest Club (PVRC) führt in regelmäßigen Abständen Webinare durch an dem alle Interessierten teilnehmen können. In Europa kommen Webinars erst langsam in Mode. Um die Hürde des “Unbekannten” etwas zu reduzieren habe ich ein Einführungsvideo in die Welt der Webinars verfasst.
