I'm working on a survey of assisted contesters right now, looking for
the answer to just this question. Stay tuned.
73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at <http://reversebeacon.net>, now spotting RTTY activity worldwide. For spots, please use your favorite "retail" DX cluster.

If that lack of connection is not supplemented by manual spotters - it quickly becomes an unfair disconnect if some stations are piped in through W3LPL and most are not.Does anyone have ACTUAL DATA on what that market share of assisted users is connected to what?What I experienced real time in ARRL DX was that a noticeable packet pileup appeared periodically. I have seen it before. Decided to take notes of time this round. Guess what - virtually ALL OF THEM tie to a DX Summit spot - done manually.73Ed N1UR _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest |
