Hi, Was just reviewing the CQ-M rules and missed any mention of assistance. Does anyone know? 73, Kermot, AB1J _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@conte

The most egregious misuse of cut numbers I've ever heard was by 4T100MP in 2011. Some ops there sent 4T1TTMP as their call sign. No kidding. I always find cut numbers to be a problem. Europeans use t
Well, you gotta save somewhere. As far as using cut numbers, the rule I was taught was to use them only in unambiguous situations, where only numbers could possibly be used. This makes them OK for se
Hi Bill, Join eQSL(AG) and other stations' AG eQSLs can be used for your WPX. You'll have to upload all your logs again and eQSL takes only ADI files, no Cabrillos (I've complained to them about that
I use Global QSL for outgoing bureau QSLs. It costs $106/1000 QSLs, or about 11 cents per card. But that's the total cost. All you do is email them an ADIF file with the QSO data and they do the rest
Hi, What I don't understand is why LoTW automatically creates a WPX account for everyone, instead of having only those who are interested start one, as they do for WAS and VUCC. Not everyone is inter

IDing every 3rd or 4th QSO is no problem at contest rates. Not IDing for 10 minutes is a problem. Length of the call is certainly a factor. With a long call I understand IDing less frequently. But th

If a contest's rules say nothing about Assisted operation, does that mean it's allowed without restriction? Note that Single-Op has no uniform definition. For example, in the ARRL RTTY Roundup, Singl

Hi, Does everyone understand what the original post said? I didn't at first, but what I think he said was: A DX station puts a fake spot for, example, 9H1EL (pick any call W/VEs would be working in t
I agree with this, which is why the ARRL DX has never been one of my favorite contests. It lacks the excitement of a true world-wide contest. It is basically an North Atlantic rim-Caribbean-South Ame
