Sounds like multiple communication streams simultaneous transmitted on one signal. The signal is an RF term. Audio tones - however many there are in the RF Signal bandwidth employed - are not separat
And then there the "inconvient truth" called Fox and Hound mode from the DX side. Does cueing calls up in a stack on the window count for the language of the DXCC and Contesting rule? And how about h

With all respect Ria, your statement said that they would likely be flagged as invalid. Your next statement says that the rules say they are invalid but they wont be likely flagged. I agree with you
Thanks for that reminder Doug. That was a good project and opportunity. I was "all in" both years. And the only difference to any of the antennas was changes to some localized feedlines and matching
Since in SS, you can only work once in the contest and we all know how ridiculously slow Sunday afternoon gets for the top scorers, it would seem that the Low Power stations can catch up somewhat ove
John, From my perspective, the answer to that is "when you can hold a run frequency and when you are usually first or second call on S & P". Until then, you haven't hit diminishing returns. More nume
I am not sure if anyone else was struck like I was as to how sad it was that QST was down to 2 pages for the ARRL DX CW coverage in the August magazine. No write-up, just some top 10 totals boxes and
Mark, With all due respect, in the next 2 years do we expect the last 2 pages to also disappear? Why not, at least then the attitude at QST will be so obvious it can't be ignored. What will really be
I like W3LPL's idea of making whatever is in QST being geared to the more casual op. We all know the final tally on the net. Unfortunately, I see a constant trend at ARRL that contesting is just not
Like existing contests not using FT4/8 - over time an accepted norm will end up occurring. At the end of the day, if you have it in your log and they have it in their log, with the right information,
Bruce, I guess the answer is that there is no way to use your judgment. You need to sit there and watch the inefficiency transpire. Sounds like fun. 73 Ed N1UR The accepted norm is already there. It'
I am reading with interest the discussion about the digi contest. Many people were repeating that FT8 was used more than FT4 to "pick up the casuals". I thought that FT4 was a protocol that allowed a
Apparently most of the contesters on this weekend didn't either Ed. N1UR It doesn't appear that you've read K1JT's documentation on WSJT-X, which includes about a dozen different protocols for differ
Given the situation around the Crowne Plaza, it would seem that Ubering back and forth to one of the other options would save money, be safer, and probably provide a better night's sleep. I hope to b
Hi Jeff. I was recounting the descriptions of this past year's experiences. The same one's that Tim was discussing. The hotel feels that things will be better next year. Maybe they will. My only poin
My point was that "ubering out" to a different hotel could be a better solution than walking around the CP area. Times have changed, yes. So have ways to deal with times changing. 73 Ed N1UR --Origin
Bill - KO7SS stated: "All of contesting is suffering from a relatively fixed number of participants, most of which can be worked quickly in a short time using CQing and clicking on bandmap spots. Thi

There is a running assumption in SS discussions that all new contesters somehow end up doing SS. I find that hardly to be the case actually. Many contesters dont like sweepstakes. No offense to those
