Smells like Single OP assisted or multi something. The simple test should be: "Is someone else "hunting" for you, finding and passing call/frequency info to you?" If yes, you cannot claim single OP.
Hi Jimmy, it works like this: he sat whole contest on 1840, didn't move for a second. He actually had "chaser" going around and telling him about some multipliers right on frequency (multi op ?). The

Yo conteksters! I think I found the root of the problem with all them bad things in contesting. It is not the guns, radios, etc., (stupid), it is the people. More precisely, the people's brains. It a

There were many other "winners" in that category, some of them were QRMing themselves, you could not figure out the callsign, the audio was so distorted and overcompressed. The offender was louder wh
Mauri, you can save your "calculations"! Please answer me, why did IV3TAN need 3x380V service for FL2100? Can you tell me what exactly, what kind of amplifier (going to antenna) and how much power di
You can always try it, and see for yourself, get on with some DX right after the contest, and see how long signals last at the certain level, and when they start dropping rapidly. Do the same test at

Let me try to explain what we have observed. We used to have skeds with OK2RZ (when I was VE3BMV) around 0000z on 40m. You get the feeling for signal strengths for particular propagation patterns. Yo

OK, here it is in its entirety as you wrote it, I will let others be the judge, who is making things up. I can't get any more accurate than that. Any similarity to this topic? You can make fun of me,
Don't rush :-) It happens that transmitting station, being tired and brains scrambled announces own callsign as something else, especially expeditions, used to another call before, quite often "combi
