The log checkers will change the zone to 16 and rescore based on that. So if you did not have another real zone 17 in the log you would lose credit for zone 17. David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1t

Lets see, if you are listening to the streaming while you work him and copy your exchange over the internet because he has his monitor function on does that count or not? I wonder how many stations w

Yes, you can do something about it. you can tell them what they should be sending and help them learn at the same time. I have not seen a response from anyone yet who says they would log zone 22 if a
The continent boundries are specified by the WAC rules, the zone boundries are specified by the WAZ rules, and they do not have to match up. See the earlier message by k3est on the subject. David Rob

Actually stu's message proves just the opposite. The word is getting around that ua9s/t/w are zone 16 and will be scored like that, even though they may be in asia. Now, the other message that says s

I probably shouldn't do this monday morning after a contest... but as i am presently searching for a new employer i figured i might as well get it done with right away. Total spots: 37289 Top 10 most
The basic problem is that people think that the zones are tied to the continent. They aren't... the waz rules set the zone boundries, and for 16/17 they are specified by oblasts/districts. The wac ru
It is definitely one of the reasons I got k1ttt. My old ky1h had 2 bad phonetics. The only problem we have with k1ttt is getting the third t sometimes, there are lots of stations that seem to get k1t
Thanks for the comments... you must not have listened to some of the ugly runs in the 20m and 15m qrm during the day. But yes, we do cq a lot.. even when running 100/hr you end up having to cq regula
As someone else has pointed out, the packet spotting network was designed and built by and for contesters. To shut it down for contests or not to use it would be contrary to it's whole reason for exi

Trying to ask node sysops to shut down during a contest would be a futile effort. The spotting network was designed and constructed by and for contesters and will not shutdown just because someone th
Ok, no one says they have one yet... does anyone have any kind of contest date list in electronic form for 2006?? It should be easy enough to put it into an importable form if anyone has the original
If you are going to practice a contest that uses spots then you might as well use spots during the practice. You have to learn how to best use spots just like you have to learn when you should run an
Some contests have done this and received lots of nasty comments from those who don't have or won't use the spotting network for one reason or another. David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arrl.n
