    How can I submit a list of amateur radio related questions for the QRZ quiz?

    Is this only for US based amateurs?

    I really enjoy the quizzes, I’ve learned a lot but I usually end up asking my husband many questions are out of my expertise.
    That being said, One of the questions I believe the 9th {what does the acronym APRS Stand for?}
    Even I know this one.
    The correct answer was not one of the choices.
    I confirmed this with my husband who knows electronical stuff inside and out.
    In addition, the website APRS.org and wiki confirm this.

    Thank you,
    Nancy

    Thank you for the contest and to all of the manufacturers/dealers who've donated.
    Just a note. One of today's quiz questions is incorrect. APRS stands for Amateur Packet Reporting System not Amateur Position Reporting System :)

    Still wrong. APRS stands for Automatic Packet Reporting System. according to www.aprs.org

    I wrote the original question and apologize for the mistake. It will be corrected so that in the future, it will be correct.

    In early broadcast and amateur radio, what is the ((primary use)) of a "condenser"?

    A: A high gain microphone element incorporating metal ribbon & magnet.

    B: Similar to a radiator, a cooler for high powered transmitters.

    C: We call them capacitors today.

    D: A device which "condensed" wide bandwidth spark signals into more reasonable, narrower signals.

    it is not asking the name
    so it cant be (C) that is a name not a function

    My next rig will probably be an ICOM-7610 to compliment my IC-756Pro3, (2) IC-775DSP, (2) IC-746Pro, IC-765, IC-751A, IC-706M2G. The only ham related item I ever won was a 6 volt battery charger at a ham radio club meeting in Valparaiso, IN. in 1955 at age 14. My mentor was W9JOZ who administrated the Novice exam and 10 weeks later received my call Kn9EUV in the mail. Then about six months later dad took me to Chicago where I passed the General exam and dropped the famous "N" and was K9EUV.
